collection-model.md

Require all collections to declare model (collection-model)

Declaring model type on a collection will allow you to pass raw objects into create, add and reset methods of that collection. This simplifies code and improves readability.

Rule Details

The following patterns are considered warnings:

Backbone.Collection.extend({
    initialize: function() {
        ...
    }
});

The following patterns are not warnings:

Backbone.Collection.extend({
    model: Book,
    initialize: function() {
        ...
    }
});

When Not To Use It

If you prefer to always pass models into collection methods you can disable this rule.
