    <p>In backbone, I have a model with the following structure:</p> <pre><code>m.Survey = m.BaseModel.extend({ initialize: function() { this.saveInvites = _.debounce(this.saveInvites, 1000); }, /** * What should this function do?! * @return {[type]} */ saveInvites: function(){ }, urlRoot: '/api/surveys', relations: [{ type: Backbone.HasMany, key: 'invites', relatedModel: 'APP.Models.SurveyInvite', collectionType: 'APP.Collections.SurveyInvites', //save invites separately includeInJSON: false, reverseRelation: { key: 'survey', //We don't want to list the survey when doing toJSON() includeInJSON: false } }] }); </code></pre> <p>On the server side I have the same schema</p> <pre><code>var SurveyInviteSchema = new Schema({ account: {type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Account', required: true}, survey: {type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Survey', required: true}, key: String }); var SurveySchema = new Schema({ start_date: Date, end_date: Date, title: String, invites: [SurveyInviteSchema], }); </code></pre> <p>In my application, I create the collection of invite models, and then need to send the list of invites to the server to be saved. Later I may send a new collection to update the invites (removing or adding).</p> <ol> <li>How do I tell Backbone to send just the invites attribute to the server (to say /api/survey/[id]/invites</li> <li>How do I tell the server to clear the invites array and replace it with the survey input</li> <li>What should server return to Backbone so that it properly updates in Backbone Relational (giving the correct IDs to my invites).</li> </ol>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
