Question

In knockout, this works and binds correctly:

self.currentCustomer = ko.observable(new Customer("a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h"));

However, the below does not.

// Random list of customers
self.customers = ko.observableArray([
    new Customer("a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h")
]);


self.currentCustomer = ko.observable(self.customers[0]);

I cannot figure out why this is not working. This pattern in working correctly in other parts of my application.

To access the array, you must unwrap it:

self.currentCustomer = ko.observable(self.customers()[0]);
