How to add an item to a collection in RacerJs DerbyJs?

I want to add an item to a collection using RacerJs/DerbyJs, but it just doesn't work. I must be really overlooking something...

What I tried

model.set('news', [
    { text: "something" }
]);

And that does set a news-item. However, when I do this another time, it will just overwrite the existing item, and not add a new one. How to do that?

model.push('news', {text:"someText"}) also fails with "Object is not an array".

Basically, I just want the most basic version of a "post an update and show on 'wall' app", without any rooms nor making use of Arrays. Just one collection, and that's it.

Stacktrace of the .push() variant:

If you are trying to add a document to a collection you can also call model.add

model.add('news', {
  text: "Something" 
})

Which will add a new document to the news collection and generate the id for you. More documentation can be found under http://derbyjs.com/#getters_and_setters

To create an item in the collection you can call model.set with explicitly specified path containing document ID, for example:

model.set('news.' + model.id(), {
  text: "something"
})

model.id method will generate unique ID on each call to it.
