Polling a Collection with Backbone.js

Question

I’m trying to keep a Backbone.js Collection up-to-date with what’s happening on the server.

My code is similar to the following:

var Comment = Backbone.M         


        

Answer 1

Or just use the far simpler addition to backbone's fetch method:

this.fetch({ update: true });

When the model data returns from the server, the collection will be (efficiently) reset, unless you pass {update: true}, in which case it will use update to (intelligently) merge the fetched models. - Backbone Documentation
