Class “ObservableData”
Instances of ObservableData automatically emit change events for all their properties with no need for custom setter, decorators or custom configuration. Even properties that are not defined in the constructor do work. Excluded are properties that do not start with a lower case letter, such as _myPrivateProp.
Change events can be observed individually by subscribing to the observable provided via Symbol.observable, or - aggregated - using Observable.mutations.
Instances of ObservableData can also be nested. Any change event emitted by an object attached to an ObservableData instance will be forwarded to the parent object and cause a new change event to be fired with the original event attached to the PropertyChangedEvent object as originalEvent.
The initial value of a widget’s data property is an instance of ObservableData, and therefore manipulating this object may be used by the widget to update itself.
The ObservableData constructor can be called without new. This is especially useful when also providing a set of initial property values, as the resulting object will have the expected type in TypeScript and some IDEs. Alternatively ObservableData can be subclassed to declare its properties and make it type-safe.
