List item events do not pass the jQuery Event Object to the target controller.

[bradgreens]

Is there a reason for this? Am I doing it wrong?

My controller expects an id an event to be passed into it. However the setActiveListItem method intentionally ops out of passing the jQuery Event with the following code.

• M.EventDispatcher.callHandler(nextEvent, event, NO, [listItemId, this.selectedItem.modelId]);

You can see the NO parameter will tell the call handler function to not pass the event. However, when I click on my list item I am taking the user to a new page and need the jQuery event to identify which Model I should reference as it relates to the listItem.

Is there a better way to know which Model relates to the item I clicked?

Ok, I notice that I do get the modelId in the target controller method. How do I query my model for the unique ID?

I tried App.Model.find({m_id: modelId}) and App.Model.find({id: modelId}) but it returns the whole Model Collection, not the unique Model...

Ok, after plenty of debugging I got it by using the following in the target controller.

goToTabList: function(elId, modelId) { var modelRef = App.Model.find({ key: modelId }) this.switchToPage('tabList'); }

There should be documentation for these things ;)

Hi Brad,

you're right: there should be more documentation for the model. We're working on it for TMP 2.0.

But great you worked it out by yourself. "find" with "key: ..." is what was needed.

If there are any more question, don't hesitate to ask further. The best way to do this, is to use our google group at:

Welcome onboard and enjoy coding!

Thanks! The library is working quite well so far - Great job. I'm sure I'll stop by the Google Group soon.
