does {($value)}="item.name" can-stache-converters work right out of the box or do you have to import and assign something?
That's part of can-stache-bindings
import "can-stache-converters";
is that all you have to do?
ohh bindings
Should be, yeah, and with converters you get things like
{($value)}="equal(~val, 'foo')"
(can-stache-converters itself imports can-stache-bindings, since the two work together)
seems to not be working
Any console errors with that?
nope
Hm.
Can you repro this in a JSBin?
it works in a jsbin
OK.
im using steal and such on the actual app, so just wondering if i have to import anything special
You can try importing can-stache-bindings directly, but I think your issue might be elsewhere, like if you're creating a context around the place where you're doing this binding (like, if you made a stache section)
omg
it only works if the value is a number
wtf
Your viewmodel is a DefineMap?
and it does not update the map
yes
I had a similar problem recently that made a property undefined all the time, and it was due to a separate definition setter happening that blanked out the value. I don't know if that's your issue, but maybe try commenting out your other defined values
just noticed something crazy
nested properties are bleeding into the parent object of my definemap
a-ha. That is crazy
why would this be happening
lol
omg
im giving up
after 3 more hours
Weird that there's meow but not driver_name
well technically it wants 123 and it cannot be 123 since it is a number
Well also, 123asd is a value of a prop and also a prop itself.
That's not right. Something is off.
canjs is broken
can I see some snippets of your stache?
Oh, minor quibble here.
hmm?
You have the {($value)} attribute values in magic tags.
omg
:/
fml
{{truck.truckNumber}} should be just truck.truckNumber, for example
yes
thats why it was binding back the model back to itself in some weird space time event
not sure how my cpu did it
Is that unblocking you?
yup that fixed it
just gotta make sure it works with ajax now so im rewriting it again i deleted stuff to debug
thanks tho
:+1:
and ajax works
Gooood stuff
omg i spent like 8 hours on this in the last like 2 days
even made a jsbin and such
i wish canjs would throw an error for dumb stuff like that but ohh well
It's not necessarily wrong, it's just like doing double dollarsigns in PHP, like "take this value and use it as the key"
ahh true
Maybe it's not the way an opinionated framework would do it. But without that we wouldn't have any way of dynamically declaring bindings
We should solicit some community feedback, and see who's more harmed by rejecting it vs not.
and canjs gods, im sorry for ever doubting you
:D
