On the first attempt I wrote
this.collection.each(function(element){
element.destroy();
});
This does not work, because it's similar to ConcurrentModificationException
in Java where every other elements are removed.
I tried binding "remove" event at the model to destroy itself as suggested Destroying a Backbone Model in a Collection in one step?, but this will fire 2 delete requests if I call destroy on a model that belongs to a collection.
I looked at underscore doc and can't see a each()
variant that loops backwards, which would solve the removing every element problem.
What would you suggest as the cleanest way to destroy a collection of models?
Thanks

You could also use a good, ol'-fashioned
popdestroy-in-place:
