Support for Dot Notation in Backbone Models

Question

How to get support for dot notation/nested objects in backbone model. The plugins that are available are buggy and wondering if backbone would ever support

person = { name : {first: 'hon',last:'son'}}
model = new Backbone.Model(person)
model.get('name.first')
model.set('name.first','bon') 

Answer 1

There are two plugins to get the job done:

• Backbone Nested
• Backbone Deep Model

Both handle getting and setting attributes and change events for dot notation.
