Backbone.js is not posting to the server on a model change? Why?

I have the following:

// MODEL
NotificationModel = C.BB.Model.extend({
    defaults : {
        read : false
    },
    urlRoot : '/notifications'
});


// COLLECTION
NotificationCollection = C.BB.Collection.extend({
    model: NotificationModel,
    url: '/notifications',
    initialize : function() {
        var me = this;
        me.fetch();
    }
});

Later in the view I have:

....

onCollectionAdd : function(m,c,cfg) {
    m.set({read: true},{silent: false});

The set is changing the items value but Backbone is not posting the update to the server. Any suggestions? Thanks

You could bind an event to the collection to save them:

NotificationCollection = C.BB.Collection.extend({
    model: NotificationModel,
    url: '/notifications',
    initialize : function() {
        this.fetch();
        this.bind('change', this.save, this);
    }
});

Note there is also the Collection.create method wich add a new model to the collection and save the collection on the server.

You need to call m.save(), which will call correspondent method create() or update().

Method set() trigger only change() event, which not save any data in backend
