# Shallow Nested Model

Use shallow nested models to allow Backbone to work with Rails shallow nested routes.

A shallow nested model created through a collection will only be posted to its own `url` if the collection's `url` does not exist.  A preexisting model will use its own `url`, which is sufficient to uniquely identify it.

## Example

```ruby

resources :users, shallow: true do

  resources :posts

end

```

```bash

$ rake routes

  user_posts POST   /users/:user_id/posts(.:format) posts#create

        post GET    /posts/:id(.:format)            posts#show

             DELETE /posts/:id(.:format)            posts#destroy

```

```javascript

Post = Backbone.ShallowNestedModel.extend({

  urlRoot: '/posts',

});

User = Backbone.Model.extend({

  urlRoot: '/users',

  initialize: function () {

    this.posts = new UserPosts(this);

  },

});

UserPosts = Backbone.Collection.extend({

  model: Post,

  url: '/posts',

});

var user = new User();

var post = user.posts.create({...});

post.fetch();

```

The new post will be posted to `/users/:user_id/posts`, but will be fetched from `/posts/:id`.
