    <p>There are two things that you need to understand here:</p> <ol> <li><code>fetch</code> is asynchronous.</li> <li>Some <code>console.log</code>s are asynchronous.</li> </ol> <p>So this is what's happening:</p> <ol> <li>You call <code>@user.fetch()</code> and it launches an AJAX call.</li> <li>You call <code>console.log(@user)</code> and that does another bit of asynchronous work but (and this is a big but!), it takes a reference to <code>@user</code> along with it, the reference will be dereferenced when the <code>console.log</code> call does its logging.</li> <li>You call <code>console.log(@user.get('email'))</code>, this takes along what <code>@user.get('email')</code> <em>returns</em>, the <code>get</code> call will be executed immediately.</li> <li>The AJAX call from <strong>(1)</strong> returns some stuff for <code>@user</code>.</li> <li>The <code>console.log</code> calls get around to logging things in the console.</li> </ol> <p>The <code>console.log</code> from <strong>(2)</strong> carries a reference to the <code>@user</code> that <code>fetch</code> populates in <strong>(4)</strong>; by the time <strong>(4)</strong> executes, <code>@user</code> has been populated so you see a full user in the console. When you call <code>@user.get('email')</code> in <strong>(3)</strong>, the <code>fetch</code> hasn't populated <code>@user</code> yet so <code>@user.get('email')</code> is <code>undefined</code> and you're actually saying</p> <pre><code>console.log(undefined) </code></pre> <p>The arguments for the <code>console.log</code> calls will be evaluated (but the final results that are passed to <code>console.log</code> will not dereferenced!) when you call the function rather than when it finishes executing and puts things in the console.</p> <p>So you have various asynchronous things mixing together and therein lies the confusion.</p> <p>If you change your code to this:</p> <pre><code>@user = new models.User @user.fetch(success: =&gt; console.log(@user) console.log(@user.get('email')) ) </code></pre> <p>you'll get the results that you're expecting.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
