NativeScript - What is the difference between viewModel.foo and viewModel.get(“foo”)?












1















Take the following simplified viewModel:



const observableModule = require("tns-core-modules/data/observable");

function HomeViewModel() {
const viewModel = observableModule.fromObject({
foo: 'Hello World'
});

return viewModel;
}


In NativeScript, it's possible to get a viewModel value in two ways:



viewModel.foo and viewModel.get("foo")



In which case should I use the latter?

          Both are actually same when creating an Observable using fromObject method.



          viewModel.foo will internally be mapped to viewModel.get("foo") / viewModel.set("foo", value) using Object.defineProperty.

          • So that means, I don't have to use viewModel.set("foo", value) either? I could just use viewModel.foo = value? (I never dared to do so, lol xD)
