This makes these filtering methods chainable (boxes.byColor(“red”).bySize(“L”), for example). var Boxes = Backbone.Collection.extend({ model: Box, byColor: function (color) { filtered = this.filter(function (box) { return box.get(“color”) === color; }); return new Boxes(filtered); } }); var red_boxes = boxes.byColor(“red”)
