The Backbone.js set collection is used to update a model or an array of models in the given collection. If the model is not there, then it will create a model with given values,

Syntax:

collection.set(models,options)    

Parameters: It will take two parameters.

  • models: This is the first parameter which is used to specify the names of the instances, 
  • options: This parameter takes the model type which will update the values provided in the given collection.

Example 1: In this example, we will create a model Food and with food1 model  and update the value using set()

Actual Value: [{
    "name":"Icecream",
    "city":"Hyderabad",
    "food_region":"India"

    "name":"Icecream",
    "city":"Hyderabad",
    "food_region":"India"
},
{
    "name":"milk",
    "country":"patna",
    "food_region":"India"
