Backbone model.save() is sending PUT instead of POST

Question

I call save using this:

console.log(this.model.isNew());
console.log(this.model);

this.model.save({}, {
    success: function (model, response, options) {
          


        

Answer 1

The above answers are correct in that if the model you are .save'ing has an id attribute backbone will do a PUT rather than a POST.

This behavior can be overridden simply by adding type: 'POST' to your save block:

var fooModel = new Backbone.Model({ id: 1});

fooModel.save(null, {
  type: 'POST'
});
