The TMNT Villain Collection

You just learned some of the incredible magic and utility of Backbone Collections. Now it's your turn to put them to practical use.

Directions

1. Create a Backbone Model called VillainModel

• Provide the VillainModel with defaults (set to null) for the following attributes
  • id
  • name
  • species
  • superpower

1. Create a Backbone Collection called VillainCollection, and pass it the RESTful url for appropriate for villains, as well as the appropriate model.
2. Instantiate a VillainCollection, and use .fetch() to breathe sweet, sweet data into it.
3. Now that your VillainCollection has 4 models within it, retrieve the villain model with id of 4 and save it to a variable called rocksteady.
4. Awesome, now retrieve the species of the villain model with id of 2. Save it in a variable called speciesOfKrang.
5. Now retrieve the villain model with id of 1 to a variable called shredder.
6. Set shredder's superpower to hatred.
7. Persist the change in shredder's superpower. Validate that the change was made in the database using the Rails console.
