new Vue({
  el: "#app",
  data: {
    todos: [
      { text: "Learn JavaScript" },
      { text: "Learn Vue" },
      { text: "Play around in JSFiddle" },
      { text: "Build something awesome" }
    ]
  },
  methods: {
    // work because object property is reactive
  	changeItemProperty() {
    	this.todos[3].text = "changedItemProperty";
    },
    // same reason, properties are reactive
    changeItemWithAssign() {
    	Object.assign(this.todos[3], { text: "changedItemWithAssign" });
    },
    // does not work, can not track changes in array
    // also this will break all attempts to change TEXT property in UI
    // because property becomes not reactive after this due to new object
    // try to changeItemProperty or  changeItemWithAssign - does not work!
    // changeItem2 will fix it :)
    changeItem() {
    	this.todos[3] = { text: "changedItem" }
    },
    // works
    changeItem2() {
    	Vue.set(this.todos, 3, { text: "changedItem2" });
    }	
  }
