My Ember.js model, view, and controller classes are getting a bit verbose. Part of this comes from writing this.get('attr') instead of this.attr.
Is it OK to always just write this.attr, as long as the attribute is declared directly, not via a binding?
(I understand that setting is a different issue — you always have to call this.set('attr', value) in order to update dependent attributes and templates.)
IIRC, you can do this for private properties that you know will not be observable.
The convention is to prefix your private properties with an underscore (eg _myProperty) which tells Ember not to bind it.
See the docs for .get(), or check the source code if you’re so inclined.
