Access nested model attribute

[pheuter]

It doesn't seem possible to bind a nested model attribute to a dom element.

For example:

bindings:
    '#title':
      modelAttr: 'model_data.client.name'

[delambo]

@pheuter I think you can manage to walk that attribute in the format callback before it is updated to the view element:

bindings: {
  '#title': {
    modelAttr: 'model_data',
    format: 'formatTitle'
  }
},
formatTitle: function(val) {
  return val.client.name;
}

Does this work out for you?

[pheuter]

@delambo I just went with Backbone.Deep-Model, and so when stickit calls model.get() on modelAttr, it returns the nested attribute.

@pheuter Thanks for the update - glad to hear that stickit works well with deep-model.

no the reverse does not work on nested model. I am using backbone-nested. And the set command is asymmetric with backbone.

In backbone set is: this.model.set('attr',value). Whereas in backbone-nested or in backbone-deep-model set is : this.model.set({'attr':value}). So how do I overcome this... ?

thanks for the great module anyway...

Not sure I understand, @nilaysaha

In backbone, this.model.set('name', value) is identical in operation to this.model.set({'name': value}) -- the same change events should be raised that stickit checks for, etc.

What sort of problems are you seeing?

Hi Ryan,
Question is whether i can set the model value once the view is updated.
As i understand stickit calls model.set function and the format of that
function is different when backbone nested is used for example.
So my model is not updated when view element is changed,

Nilay

Can I see the code for your bindings?

Keep in mind modelAttr has changed to observe since this issue (from a year ago).

[nilaysaha]

here they are:

           bindings:{
               '#redemption_budget':{
                   modelAttr: 'budget.total_redemption_budget',
                   observe:'budget',
                   onGet: function(val){return

parseFloat(val.max_num_redemption)*parseFloat(val.value_per_redemption)},
}
},

so as you see the nested model attributes are compatible with model nested
and setting a value of attr, we would do :
this.model.set({'budget.total_redemption_budget':10}) for example.

regards,
Nilay.
