I have a Backbone model, which has the following attributes object, as output by console.log in Chrome:

If I output model.get('address') it returns the address, and this is true for all fields, except for users which is undefined. I am not sure what is going on, as Backbone.Model.get() should return arrays fine, shouldn't it?
This is the model in question:
App.Models.PartnerCompany = Backbone.Model.extend({
urlRoot: '/api/v1/partner-companies',
defaults: {
'id' : '',
'name' : '',
'maintenance' : '',
'tyre' : '',
'address' : '',
'town' : '',
'postcode' : '',
'phone' : '',
'fpm_company_id' : '',
}
});
EDIT: That got wierd fast. I made the model look like this (added default property for 'users' and a verbose get function):
App.Models.PartnerCompany = Backbone.Model.extend({
urlRoot: '/api/v1/partner-companies',
defaults: {
'id' : '',
'name' : '',
'maintenance' : '',
'tyre' : '',
'address' : '',
'town' : '',
'postcode' : '',
'phone' : '',
'fpm_company_id' : '',
'users': 'schroedinger'
},
get: function (attr) {
if (attr != 'id') {
console.log('asked for:', attr, 'value is', this.attributes[attr]);
}
if (attr == 'users') {
console.log(this.attributes);
return this.attributes['users'];
}
return Backbone.Model.prototype.get.call(this, attr);
}
});
and output the return value of model.get('users').
It gives me this:
asked for: name - value is: PartnerTest2 application.js:14196
asked for: postcode - value is: 1080 application.js:14196
asked for: town - value is: testTown application.js:14196
asked for: address - value is: testAddress application.js:14196
asked for: phone - value is: 001144778899 application.js:14196
asked for: supplier_no - value is: 3456 application.js:14196
asked for: users - value is: schroedinger application.js:14196

model returned users: schroedinger
So although it's own attributes object has the proper value, it still returns the default.
