// The initialize function is like a constructor in that

// it is always called when you instantiate a Backbone View

var search_view = new SearchView();

What is a Collection?

A Collection in BackboneJS is an ordered set of models. Collections are useful because you can include methods inside of them to fetch data from a server, prepare that data before returning the collection, and set sample collections for debugging/testing.

Moreover, you can add event listeners and attach views to collections, which is not the case for simple JavaScript arrays.

As a simple example, we can use the Model Vehicle that we created in the previous section in order to create a Collection in Backbone as follows:

var Cars = Backbone.Collection.extend({

model: Vehicle

});
