Simple methods to force a variable to an observable. This is useful so when calling these variables you can just use: variableName()

Observify

function observifyArray(arr){
  for(var i = 0; i < ko.unwrap(arr).length; i ++){
    ko.unwrap(arr)[i] = observify(ko.unwrap(arr)[i]);
  }
  if (ko.isObservable(arr) && 'push' in arr){
    return arr;
  } else {
    return ko.observableArray(arr);
  }
}

function observify(value) {
  if (ko.isObservable(value)) {
    return value;
  } else {
    return ko.observable(value);
  }
}
