Backbone outputing empty array for collection.models?

Question

Having a problem where if I do

apples = new Apples
apples.fetch()
console.log apples
console.log apples.models

console.log apples will out put the Apples Collection, with models: Array(10) listed inside the object.

But, console.log apples.models outputs an empty array.

Why does this happen?

Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to console.log the collection right after executing the fecth() method or waiting for the callback to be executed by using apples.on('reset', function(){ console.log(this.models} } ,this); ? — Shaked KO, Aug 14 '12 at 14:35
Not waiting; But now see this as the problem; thank you! If you want to post this as an answer I'll accept it — , Aug 14 '12 at 14:39

I just tried this and it worked out for me. Backbone collections have a few underscore methods which work out of the box. Try using toArray to get the apple models in the apples collection.

  apples.toArray()
