Access to state in state aware element

[RobMaskell]

I'm trying to access state in javascript, all the examples I can find for state-aware show accessing state in the template. I can access this.stateAware and this.statePath ok but not the state itself. I'm using the latest 0.6.0 release.

What I'm trying to do is store some application level state to be used for many pages (the HATEOS route of my api which is pulled from the server) so I wanted to store it in state and access it using state-aware without passing it down through the element hierarchy. Is what I'm doing sensible or is there a better way, maybe the application object that I don't really understand what it's for?

Thanks for the help in advance, great project if I can work out how to use it properly.

You can use get

this.get('state.someEle.someField')

Similarly, you can use set to set the state

this.set('state.someEle.someField', someValue)

Just a note, if your path is more than 1 level deep, you will need to create the Object first as it will not be automatically created.

this.set('state.level1.level2', true)

If state.level1 does not exist, nothing will be set.

Thanks, that works a treat. I was trying to use this.state which seems to work sometimes but not always even in the todo app
