Backbone.js parse Collection

The Backbone.js parse Collection is a method that is called by Backbone whenever a Collection’s models are returned by the server. The default implementation simply passes the JSON response. We can override it with a new logic to flexibly parse the response. 

Syntax: 

collection.parse( response , options );

Parameters:

  • response: It is a raw object which contains data regarding the request to the server.
  • options: These are the optional parameter regarding the response to the request.

Example 1: In this example, we will illustrate the Backbone.js parse Collection. Here we will parse our Models when we pass them to the collection at the initiation of collection.

        var Library = new books([b1, b2, b3], { parse: true });
    </script>

Example 2: In this example, we will parse the data which is coming as a result of the fetch request.
