Questions: What is the proper way to initialize a backbone.js model when there are attributes that need to be stored in specific ways? Do i need to map the attributes that don't need any special formatting? I thought backbone.js did some kind of auto-mapping. Example: var MyModel = Backbone.Model.extend({ initialize: function (options) { // These attributes need to be stored in a different format // Dates this.startYear = new Date(options.startTime).getFullYear(); // Rounding numbers this.wholeNumber = Math.Round(options.numberWithDecimals); // Storing empty strings as nulls if (options.fullName == null || options.fullName == "") { this.fullName == null; } else { this.fullName = options.fullName; } // These are fine as they are this.fieldA = options.fieldA; this.fieldB = options.fieldB; this.fieldC = options.fieldC; }, });
