Easiest way to reset Backbone's model to initial defaults?

javascript backbone.js backbone-model

myModel.clear().set(myModel.defaults);

javascript backbone.js backbone-model

I came up with the following approach:

reset: function () {    this.clear({silent: true});    this.set(this.defaults);}

Having {silent: true} in the clear() call ensures that the change event is not fired; it will be fire only on set() call.

javascript backbone.js backbone-model

I do this when the model has non-null initial object properties.

first, define defaults as a function

var MyModel = Backbone.Model.extends({    defaults:function(){        return {            AnArrayTypeProp:[]        };    }});

second, when needed to reset model to default

model.clear().set(model.defaults());
