I have a backbone model variable called companies with an object array type. By putting it to the console I get this:

This object is loaded with the fetch function:

require(["collections/Companies"],
    function(Companies) {
    var companies = new Companies();
    companies.fetch();
    console.log(companies[0].get("name"));

});

companies

companies.js:

define([
    'models/Company'
], function(CompanyModel) {
    'use strict';

    var CompanyCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
        model: CompanyModel,
        url: 'scripts/data/companies.json'
    });

    return CompanyCollection;
});

company.js:

define([], function () {
    'use strict';

    var CompanyModel = Backbone.Model.extend({
        defaults: {
            id: '',
            name: '',
            description: ''
        }
    });

    return CompanyModel;
});

I have tried to get the attributes by using get according to the tutorials (console.log(companies[0].get("name"));) with no luck.

What is the correct syntax to get the attributes?

Thanks in advance

To get model from collection you can use Backbone collection method - collection.at(INDEX);

Example code:

var collection = new Backbone.Collection();
collection.add({ id: 1, name: "S"});
collection.add({ id: 2, name: "F"});

console.log(collection.at(0).attributes); // { id: 1, name: "S"}

var model = collection.at(0);

// get attributes from model

console.log(model.get("name")); // "S"

You can play with demo

To get models from collection use : collection.models (you will get array of models)
