Model Html Issue
Question
#513 Sorry for opening new issue but you have closed last one so had to create new one, I am struggling with below so if you can help to resolve or guide me at sample code that would be great, or if you have quick 5 mins and create small codepen would be good, really appreciate your help. I tried you suggested but still model is not updated on child components, it only return default values set when component render.
function createPCBoxComp(comps, defaultModel, defaultView) {
comps.addType('pcBox', {
// Define the Model
model: defaultModel.extend({
// Extend default properties
defaults: Object.assign({}, defaultModel.prototype.defaults, {

this.el.className = "pcBox";
this.el.innerHTML = (template);
return this;
}
})
});
};
now it generate below html but does not update property correctly.

You can trigger your actions on render...
...Inside your model
init() {
....
}
updateAllStuff() {
this.updateTitle();
this.updateHoverText();
...
}
...Inside your view
render(...args) {
...
this.model.updateAllStuff();
return this;
}
