Backbone.paginator - Get toJSON of origModels

Question

I'm using Backbone.Paginator clientPager.

Currently it copies the models fetched from the server inside this.origModels. And modifies this.models to the truncated paginated version.

When I do collection.toJSON I get only the truncated version. I would like to get the toJSON of origModels? I tried investigating the internals of Backbone code. But couldn't succeed.

From Backbone.js

toJSON: function(options) {
  return this.map(function(model){ return model.toJSON(options); });
}

var methods = ['forEach', 'each', 'map', 'collect', 'reduce', 'foldl',
  'inject', 'reduceRight', 'foldr', 'find', 'detect', 'filter', 'select',
  'reject', 'every', 'all', 'some', 'any', 'include', 'contains', 'invoke',
  'max', 'min', 'toArray', 'size', 'first', 'head', 'take', 'initial', 'rest',
  'tail', 'drop', 'last', 'without', 'indexOf', 'shuffle', 'lastIndexOf',
  'isEmpty', 'chain'];

// Mix in each Underscore method as a proxy to `Collection#models`.
_.each(methods, function(method) { 
  Collection.prototype[method] = function() { 
    var args = slice.call(arguments);
    args.unshift(this.models);
    return _[method].apply(_, args);
  };
});

I tried to do the following but didn't work :(

var args = [].slice.call(function(model) { return model.toJSON(); }); 
args.unshift(this.origModels);
var jsonmodels = _['map'].apply(_, args);

I fixed this by using the following code,

var jsonmodels = _.map(this.collection.origModels, function(model){ return model.toJSON(); });
