Question about accessing a hierarchic observable

[Randall]

I have a hierarchic javascript object that I pass to kendo observable. Is it better to use get and set on the top-level object with dotted path into the object?

    viewModel.get('current.prType');

Or is it better to use get and set on the lowest level of the hierarchy?

   viewModel.current.get('prType');

Here is a simple jsfiddle sample that demonstrates that both forms work. I just want to know if there is any difference that I should be aware of.

Hello Randall,

Using the full path is preferred. The other approach works because MVVM in some scenarios needs to search in depth to find such property.

Here is another example that should show you better the difference.
