How to fix Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined?

I have a little problem. I'm using backbone.js. I wrote this code like in example:

<script>
$(document).ready(function () { window.App = { Views: {}, Models: {}, Collections: {} } App.Collections.Users = Backbone.Collection.extend({ model: App.Models.User, url: 'service' }); App.Models.User = Backbone.Model.extend({}); App.Views.App = Backbone.View.extend({ initialize: function() { console.log( this.collection.toJSON() ); } });
});
</script>

Than I started server and in browser console type this:

var x =new App.Collections.Users();
x.fetch()

And this follows to error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined. But data is present in response. Details in picture. How to fix this? Thanks for you answers.enter image description here

I fixed this bug. The problem was that I created Collection and then the Model. Collections use user model, as working unit, but when I defined this Collection, I did not define Model.

So, if you want to avoid this bug, firstly define a Model and only then define the Collection.

Backbone Js has dependency with underscore.js and jQuery, try reordering the resources. This worked for me:

<head> <title>Backbone</title> <!-- Scripts Load Here--> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/underscore.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/backbone.js"></script>
</head>

In my case , imports were incorrect

import { urlencoded } from "express";
When I removed this statement , it worked for me. Check imports of the files you are working with , wheteher something unnecessary imported

In my case, the following imports are incorrect: (react)

// remove
import e from 'express';
