can-define-backup

Build Status

can-define.Map.backup is a plugin that provides a dirty bit for properties on an DefineMap, and lets you restore the original values of an DefineMap's properties after they are changed.

Overview

Here is an example showing how to use [can-define.Map.backup.prototype.backup backup] to save values, [can-define.Map.backup.prototype.restore restore] to restore them, and [can-define.Map.backup.prototype.isDirty isDirty]

to check if the Map has changed:

var recipe = new DefineMap({
  title: 'Pancake Mix',
  yields: '3 batches',
  ingredients: [{
    ingredient: 'flour',
    quantity: '6 cups'
  },{
    ingredient: 'baking soda',
    quantity: '1 1/2 teaspoons'
  },{
    ingredient: 'baking powder',
    quantity: '3 teaspoons'
  },{
    ingredient: 'salt',
    quantity: '1 tablespoon'
  },{
    ingredient: 'sugar',
    quantity: '2 tablespoons'
  }]
});
defineBackup(recipe);
recipe.backup();

recipe.title = 'Flapjack Mix';
recipe.title;     // 'Flapjack Mix'
recipe.isDirty(); // true

recipe.restore();
recipe.title;     // 'Pancake Mix'
