rest - backbone.js won't fetch data and populate the collection -

i have setup: require.js + backbone.js, populate collection using fetch function of backbone

orders.js(collection)

define([   'underscore',    'backbone',    'models/item'   ], function(_, backbone, item){      var orders = backbone.collection.extend({          model: item,         url: 'json/items',          initialize: function(){         },    });    return orders = new orders();  }); 

orders.js(views)

define([   'jquery',    'underscore',    'backbone',   'collections/orders',   'models/item',   'text!templates/orders.tpl',   ], function($, _, backbone, orders, item, orderstemplate){   var ordersview = backbone.view.extend({      model: orders,     template: _.template(orderstemplate),      initialize: function() {         _.bindall(this);              orders.fetch({ success: function() {             console.log(orders.models)         }});     },    });      return ordersview; }); 

orders.fetch won't populate collection, though browser detects xhr json/items:

i tried solution backbone.js + rest. collection not populated after fetch() still won't work. there way can fetch data , populate automatically collection? or missing something?

ps: sorry brute code posting...

edit: success callback on fetch won't json/items called xhr on browser

edit: update code on order.js, removed store param

edit: appreciate if can on url http://mindanaojobs.net/backbone/ , inspect in it, jsfiddle seems little bit tricky

does xhr response contain array of objects? if there kind of object wrapper like

{items: [{...}, {...}]} 

then need implement parse method accordingly.

yes, looked @ code , need in orders collection:

parse: function (response) { return response.items;}
