Call JS template to update listview item

Question

I have been using .notifyMutated() when a item is updated however I have just realised that if the item doesnt move position then the item isnt updated and so need a way to force the app to re-process the item. 

I saw some people using WinJs.Binding.proccessAll() however this only seems to work for HTML templates. How can I make this work with a Javascript Template?

EDIT:

I found I can use the list.setAs() function to alter the data but no item update animation plays, is there a way to force this?

Answer 1

Can you share the complete simplified repro of the problem you are running into that should be able to throw more light on it?

Answer 2

I have a WinJS.Binding.List

I populate the list with data from an Array.

When I want to edit the item I use: list.getItem()

I then edit the data of the item: item.title = "New Title"

I then cant see this change on the tile until I refresh the page.

I am currently using list.setAs() to update the item which is working fine apart from the small issue that you dont get an item update animation.

The same is true for the WinJS.UI.Repeater. It simply does not attach to the itemmutated event for whatever reason. Using setAs to force it to update works.
