Overview

model.id

In NestedTypes, model.id is assignable property, linked to model.attributes[ model.idAttribute ].

model.id = 5 has the same effect as model.set( model.idAttribute, 5 )

model.attrName

NestedTypes creates native property for every attribute.

model.attr = val; has the same effect as model.set( 'attr', val );

val = model.attr; has the same effect as val = model.get( 'attr' );

Accessing attributes with native properties is faster than using get and set.

model.set()

Set model attributes. Update sequence is fo

1. Values are converted to proper types. For existing nested models and collections deep update may be invoked.
2. Set hooks are being executed for changing attributes.
3. Events are being registered for changing attributes.
4. Attribute values are being set, firing change events.

In NestedTypes, you can assign model attributes directly, and it's faster than set: model.attr = val;

model.get( 'attr' )

Get attribute value by name. Returned value can be modified with get hook in attribute definition.

In NestedTypes, you can access model attributes directly, and it's faster than get: val = model.attr;
