• A relationship is updated in a separate place in the application

var Task = Rekord({
  name: 'task',
  fields: ['name', 'done'],
  defaults: {done: false}
});

var TaskItem = React.createClass({
  componentDidMount: function() {
    Rekord.Bind( this, this.props.task );
  },
  render: function() {
    var task = this.props.task;
    return (
      <li>
        <label>
          <input type="checkbox" checked={task.done} />
          <span>{task.name}</span>
        </label>
      </li>
    )
  }
});

var t0 = new Task({
  name: 'New Task',
  done: false
});

ReactDOM.render(
  <TaskItem task={t0}></TaskItem>,
  document.getElementById('task')
);

t0.done = true;
t0.$save();

// #task element updated (checked)
