backbone.js empty a collection

backbone.js, collections, javascript

Solution

Try `this.nodes.reset()` unless you need `remove` event.

Otherwise:

var nodes = this.nodes;
while (nodes.length > 0)
    nodes.remove(nodes.at(0));

Problem

I need to empty a collection, removing each item in order. ``` this.nodes.each(function(node){ this.nodes.remove(node); }, this); ``` Doesn't work, because as each node is removed it changes the length of the collection. Making a temporary array and then iterating over that works. Is there a better way?
