Accessing parent class in Backbone

Question

I need to call the initialize method of the parent class, from inside the inherited MyModel-class, instead of completely overwriting it as I am doing today.

How could I do this?

Here's what my code looks right now:

BaseModel = Backbone.Model.extend({     initialize: function(attributes, options) {         // Do parent stuff stuff     } });  MyModel = BaseModel.extend({     initialize: function() {         // Invoke BaseModel.initialize();         // Continue doing specific stuff for this child-class.     }, }); 

Answer 1

Try

MyModel = BaseModel.extend({     initialize: function() {         BaseModel.prototype.initialize.apply(this, arguments);         // Continue doing specific stuff for this child-class.     }, }); 

Answer 2

MyModel = BaseModel.extend({     initialize: function() {         MyModel.__super__.initialize.apply(this, arguments);         // Continue doing specific stuff for this child-class.     }, });
