I have a backbone model which has custom parse function, while calling the fetch on this model sometimes I wanted to skip the parse function in certain scenarios. How can I do it. I tried the following option which did not work.
myModel.fetch({
parse: false,
success: _.bind(function(model, response) {}, this),
error: _.bind(function(model, response) {}, this)
});
My model code:
var MyModel = BaseModel.extend({
initialize: function() {
console.log('EventCloneModel in initialize()');
_.extend(Backbone.Model.prototype, Backbone.Validation.mixin);
},
url: function() {
var url = gc.apiUrl;
var locale = "en_US"
url += '&locale=' + locale;
return url;
},
parse: function(response) {
//some parsing logic goes here
return response;
},
getValidations: function(){
return this.validation;
}
});
return MyModel;
});
Put the skip condition in your parse function. How you determine the skip condition is up to you.
parse: function(response) {
if(skipParse)
return response;
//parse the response here. If the code reaches this point,
//it means you want to parse it.
return response;
},
