AmpersandJS support about knockback HOT 7 CLOSED

I haven't tried, but if you want to quickly check, you could load them in the browser and replace window.Backbone with ampersand.

AmpersandJS has a different structure, many independent modules. kb.ViewModel works fine, but looks like kb.collectionObservable is broken

from knockback.

Ampersand collections: mainIndex specifies the attribute used in .get
https://github.com/AmpersandJS/ampersand-collection/blob/master/ampersand-collection.js#L164

Backbone collections: modelId specifies the attribute used in .get

Not sure if this is particularly applicable to Knockback, but this discrepancy alone is enough to mean Ampersand Collections are not guaranteed to be usable as drop in replacements for Backbone Collections.

You should be able to stick the model and collection in an object to manually aggregate them.

As for ids, I don't think they are referenced anywhere.

I'd give it a shot and see if it works.

This works as a partial replacement for kb.collectionObservable

collectionObservable = (@collection, @options) ->
    return ko.observableArray( @collection.map( (model) => new @options.view_model(model) ) )

from knockback.

Yeah, that's definitely a possible approximation. It won't give you two-way syncing though.

I'll take a look at this in my spare time to see if I can officially support ampersand. I support Parse so hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to support another similar model framework.
