What's the best way to override Model.get(attr) in Backbone.js?

Answer 1

I would think of attributes as the raw materials used by a model to provide answers to callers that ask the questions. I actually don't like having callers know too much about the internal attribute structure. Its an implementation detail. What if this structure changes?

So my answer would be: don't do it.

Create a method as you've done and hide the implementation details. Its much cleaner code and survives implementation changes.
