  • two-way live binding between model and form elements

    by Fred Daoud,

    Great presentation! I love CanJS.

    It's worth noting that as of version 1.0.7, the statement made around the 21:18 mark is incorrect. The statement is that you can set up two-way live binding between a model and a form element with a line of code such as:


    <input type='text' value='<%= coffee.attr("roaster") %>'/>


    Updating the "coffee" model will update the form input, but typing into the form input will not automatically update the model.

    Nevertheless, thank you for CanJS, it is an awesome JavaScript library.
