Question about binding

[murrayh...@gmail.com]

Hi.

On a viewModel with a property of searchText (bound to a textfield on the view), when the user enters text the reactor fires. All good.

searchText: '',

when_the_user_enters_search_text_then_filter_grid: {
on: ['searchTextChanged'],
action: function() {
console.log('text changed in reactor') // Reactor works
}
},

Now. Given that watching for changing properties intrinsic in GluJS, why cant I just do this instead:

searchTextChanged: function() {
console.log('text changed in searchTextChanged') // Doesnt work
}

Or maybe I can in some other syntax and I just cant see the wood for the trees?

Thanks,
Murray

Oh. Ok. You can.

onSearchTextChanged : function(){
console.log('text changed in onSearchTextChanged', arguments)
}

Is there a reason NOT to do this since it is simpler than the reactor? Yes, the reactor has a useful name but that could be in a comment anyway.

Thanks,
Murray

Not doing it as "onSearchTextChanged" allows you to have multiple reactors that handle the same event. I often do this for more single-purpose functions that are easier to debug than tossing everything into a single "onFooChanged" function.

Thanks Josh. Got it!
