Ractive set events not firing

[quangv]

If I read https://github.com/RactiveJS/Ractive/wiki/Events correctly, the following should work?

var ractive = new Ractive({})

ractive.on('set', function(){
    console.log('this should fire on set');
});

ractive.set('foo', 'bar');

The documentation is out of date, sorry about that. I've just raised an issue on the docs repo. There is a change event you can listen to - this will only fire when data changes, as opposed to when the set() method is called.

I found a combination of ractive.on('change', changeHandler) and ractive.observe('foo', fooObserver) to be much more useful than listening for set events, but I'm open to persuasion if this is something that should be included. Though you can add the event fairly easily:

Ractive = Ractive.extend({
  set: function ( keypath, value, callback ) {
    this.fire( 'set', keypath, value );
    return this._super( keypath, value, callback );
  }
});

thanks for the explanation Rich.
