Question

I queried my database using Breezejs using the following code:

viewModel = {
    products = ko.observableArray([])
};

var manager = new entityModel.EntityManager('/api/Products');
manager.executeQuery(query)
       .then(function (data) {
           viewModel.products.removeAll();
           viewModel.products(data.results);
       });

However the products rows contain numeric properties like Quantity which are wired to my page using the data-bind property. On saving the model through manager.saveChanges() I get a validation error. This is because KnockoutJS saves the edited numbers as strings.

What’s the recommended way to get around this issue?

Answer 1

As of breeze v 0.80.2, this capability is now supported. ( along with the capability to customize type coercion)
