backbone.js - Backbone View method not firing on first load -

when entries/index loaded, should fire @collection.each(@appendentry) appends entries in collection #entries, nothing happens. if submit new entry, works fine.

entries_index.js.coffee:

class raffler.views.entriesindex extends backbone.view    template: jst['entries/index']    events:     'submit #new_entry':  'createentry'    initialize: ->     @collection.on('add', @render, this)    render: ->     $(@el).html(@template(collection: @collection))     @collection.each(@appendentry)        appendentry: (entry) ->     view = new raffler.views.entry()     $('#entries').append(view.render().el)    createentry: (event) ->     event.preventdefault()     @collection.create name: $('#new_entry_name').val() 

what going on here?

try calling render within initialize.

@collection.each(@appendentry) inside render function, not being called view during initialize.

the reason can see after adding items render being called each time item added collection, via binding: @collection.on('add', @render, this)
