The Backbone.js reset Collection is used to replace the whole list of models with a new list of models or attributes hash. This function returns newly set models in the collection. We can pass null in place of models to make the collection empty.
Syntax:
collection.reset( models, options );
Parameters:
- models: This parameter specifies the instance of model and array of models which will be added to the collection in place of old models.
- options: This parameter specifies the optional model which is going to add to the collection.
Example 1: In this example, we will illustrate The Backbone.js reset Collection. We will add a new instance of a model which will replace the old models in the collection.
