backbone.jsHow do I pass a collection to a Backbone.js view?

You can pass a collection to a Backbone.js view by using the collection property. This property should be set to an instance of a Backbone.Collection.

For example, if you have a collection of books you can pass it to a view like this:

var books = new Backbone.Collection([
  { title: 'Alice in Wonderland' },
  { title: 'The Hobbit' }
]);

var booksView = new Backbone.View({
  el: '#books',
  collection: books
});

In this example, books is an instance of a Backbone.Collection and booksView is an instance of a Backbone.View. The collection property of the view is set to the books collection.

You can also pass a collection to a view when creating it, like this:

var booksView = new Backbone.View({
  el: '#books',
  collection: new Backbone.Collection([
    { title: 'Alice in Wonderland' },
    { title: 'The Hobbit' }
  ])
});

The view will now have access to the collection via the collection property.

For more information, see the Backbone.js documentation.
