The Backbone.js set collection is used to update a model or an array of models in the given collection. If the model is not there, then it will create a model with given values,
Syntax:
collection.set(models,options)
Parameters: It will take two parameters.
- models: This is the first parameter which is used to specify the names of the instances,
- options: This parameter takes the model type which will update the values provided in the given collection.
Example 1: In this example, we will create a model Food and with food1 model and update the value using set()

Output:
Actual Value: [{
"name":"Icecream",
"city":"Hyderabad",
"food_region":"India"
}]
Updated Value: [{
"name":"Icecream",
"city":"Hyderabad",
"food_region":"India"
},
{
"name":"milk",
"country":"patna",
"food_region":"India"
}]
Example 2: In this example, we will create a model Food and with food1 model without any values and update the value using set().
