apply ko.observable to an entire object

[ceej]

Hi,

What's the best way to apply ko.observable to everything in an entire
object and it's nested values?

Many thanks

Have you had a look at the mapping plugin?  By default it will basically make everything observable.

Would you say using the mapping plugin is better/faster than doing

So I'm trying it out, I can't add each object to a t object like
t.flag_red to avoid things like "flag_red is not defined" but that
probably wasn;t the best way to do it.... I'm using coffeescript
templates like https://gist.github.com/7bc623bfa9d14f8508b4 surely
theirs a template method that I can extend and add something like if
typof variable is 'undefined' or _.isNull(variable) then return false
else variable which would avoid the is not defined errors.....

so I can do var html = _.template(tmpl)({t: data}); but I'd really
like to add it on the mapping level so updates etc... work plus using
data-bind I can do t.red_flag too... is it possible to do that?

I went with https://gist.github.com/257e82a1cb54c7ecc91c which is much
better :)
