Dec 10 20:45:04 <EricBlade> so... the data binding documentation mentions that you can use ^ to access things from the "root" .. but in this case, what does "root" mean ?
Dec 10 20:48:03 <dmanderson_afk> EricBlade the root would be the enyo.kind({}) definition
Dec 10 21:16:11 <EricBlade> dmanderson: umm.. huh? like, the kind itself, rather than the instance of it?
Dec 10 21:17:35 <dmanderson> well if you using declaritive style syntax, then the root would be the definition for the kind.   {bindings:[], components:[}]}
Dec 10 21:20:54 <EricBlade> that doesn't sound very useful
Dec 10 21:25:34 <dmanderson> It’s pretty useful :D
Dec 10 21:26:04 <dmanderson> You can do it imperitively as well this.binding({})
Dec 10 21:26:28 <EricBlade> i guess i don't follow, then
Dec 10 21:27:13 <dmanderson> Hmm are you having a specific problem with bindings in general? or just looking for a working example?
Dec 10 21:27:38 <EricBlade> just wondering what it does, because the docs mentioned it but didn't have an example.
Dec 10 21:29:29 <dmanderson> super minimal example: http://jsfiddle.net/fjzkhLxn/
Dec 10 21:30:36 <EricBlade> no i get that. i don't get the ^ part
Dec 10 21:41:17 <dmanderson> Ahh ok.
Dec 10 22:52:05 <EricBlade> it would be even more cool if you could add bindings to a component block, so in cases where you have sizeable component blocks, you can actually see the bindings that are related between "this" and a particular component, without changing pages.
Dec 10 23:55:44 <sugardave> you can do inline bindings in the components
Dec 11 00:32:58 <EricBlade> how?
Dec 11 00:37:27 <sugardave> components: [{name: "someKind", kind: "whateverKind", bindings: [...]}]]
Dec 11 00:38:29 <EricBlade> then you still need to do .$.blah to .$.other.blah right? it doesn't change the pathing
Dec 11 00:40:09 <sugardave> true, but it could make things slightly clearer if you're looking at that component's specific binding where it is declared rather than matching up who goes where in a "detached" bindings block
Dec 11 00:40:45 <EricBlade> i was just clarifying not complaining :-)
Dec 11 00:42:35 <sugardave> EricBlade: it MIGHT change the pathing context, actually.  I'm a little rusty, but the root of the binding may actually be the subcomponent where you made the inline binding....confused yet? :D
Dec 11 01:46:40 <EricBlade> the only problem that i have with binding is that it doesn't seem to be possible to determine when you've done something wrong
Dec 11 01:47:06 <EricBlade> i was rather surprised at how quickly it works too
