Cleanest way to destroy every Model in a Collection in Backbone?
backbone.js
Solution
You could also use a good, ol'-fashioned pop destroy-in-place:
var model;
while (model = this.collection.first()) {
model.destroy();
}
Problem
On the first attempt I wrote ``` this.collection.each(function(element){ element.destroy(); }); ``` This does not work, because it's similar to `ConcurrentModificationException` in Java where every other elements are removed. I tried binding "remove" event at the model to destroy itself as suggested Destroying a Backbone Model in a Collection in one step?, but this will fire 2 delete requests if I call destroy on a model that belongs to a collection. I looked at underscore doc and can't see a `each()` variant that loops backwards, which would solve the removing every element problem. What would you suggest as the cleanest way to destroy a collection of models? Thanks
