Nested model?

[netwire88]

Hi,
I'm a eco newbie and I'm trying to integrate it with Backbone. I checked out Ryan Bates' RailsCast example. However, I'm having trouble accessing a simple get.

I can do this: <%= @stream.get('stream_type') %> which returns "project"
But how do I get user.name? I tried <%= @stream.user.get('name') %> but I got error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'get' of undefined

[
: {
: : "id":"5004095283de4ca9ff000005",
: : "stream_type":"project",
: : "user":
: : {
: : : "id":"5002f30560de7d0ffb000003",
: : : "name":"Regular User2"
: : },

If user is a Backbone model, then you should use @stream.get('user').get('name'). You need to use get() to access the user attribute, and user is a Backbone model.

The best way to debug issues like this is to insert either a breakpoint in your compiled template in chrome/firebug, or a debugger statement in the code, which chrome/firebug will detect and pause output. Then you can just check "this" in the debugger and fiddle until you find the right reference.
