Backbone.js parse Model

The Backbone.js parse Model is a function that is called whenever a model’s data is returned by the server. This function is passed with the response object and returns the model’s data. The model has a default implementation of the parse function but we can override this function for flexible usage.

Syntax: 

model.parse( response, options );

Parameters:

  • response: It is the raw response object which has to parse for data.
  • options: This is an object with information about the raw response object.

Example 1: In this example, we will illustrate The Backbonejs parse Model by overriding the default parse function of the model.

    <h3>BackboneJS parse Model</h3>
    <div id='hello'></div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var Person = Backbone.Model.extend({
            urlRoot: 'https://...typicode.com/users/1',
            parse: function (response, options) {
                for (var i in response) {
                    document.getElementById("hello")
                        .append(`${JSON.stringify(i)} : 
                        ${JSON.stringify(response[i])}`);
                }
  
            }
        });
        var person = new Person();
        person.fetch();
    </script>
</body>
  
</html>


Output:
