Aurelia make bindable act as observable on object properties

In Aurelia binding if in a component we use observable decoration on a property, and if the property being an object, then we will subscribe to all properties of that object.

For example:

  import { observable } from 'aurelia-framework';

  export class Car {
    @observable color = {rgb: '', hex: ''};

    colorChanged(newValue, oldValue) {
      // this will fire whenever the 'color' property changes
    }
  }

So if one of the color properties changes, then it will fire colorChanged. But in custom elements we have bindables like this:

  import {bindable, bindingMode} from 'aurelia-framework';

  export class SecretMessageCustomElement {
    @bindable data;

    dataChanged () {
       // -------
    }
  }

then dataChanged won't be called on its properties change. How can this be solved?

With some tries, I have written some lines of code that fixed my issue and hope helping others. I have subscribed and unsubscribed on every data change occuring and made this subscription to be done on every field every time. So here is the solution:

import {
  bindable,
  BindingEngine
} from 'aurelia-framework';

@inject(Element, BindingEngine)
export class PaChartjs {
  @bindable data;
  @bindable options;

  constructor(element, bindingEngine) {
    this.element = element;
    this.bindingEngine = bindingEngine;
  }

  bind() {
    this.observeObject(this.data, 'data');
    this.observeObject(this.options, 'options');
  }
  unbind() {
    this.unobserveObjects();
  }

  unobserveObjects(groups) {
    let self = this;
    if (!groups) {
      groups = Object.keys(this.subscriptions);
    }
    groups.forEach((groupitem, groupindex) => {
      this.subscriptions[groupitem].forEach((subitem, subindex) => {
        subitem.sub.dispose();
        delete self.subscriptions[subindex];
      }); //otherwise you'll bind twice next time
    });
  }

  observeObject(obj, group) {
    let self = this;
    if (!this.subscriptions) {
      this.subscriptions = [];
    }
    if (!this.subscriptions[group]) {
      this.subscriptions[group] = [];
    }
    Object.keys(obj).forEach((keyitem, keyindex) => {
      if (typeof obj[keyitem] === 'object' && obj[keyitem] !== null) {
        self.observeObject(obj[keyitem]);
      } else {
        this.subscriptions[group].push({
          obj: obj,
          property: keyitem,
          sub: this.bindingEngine
            .propertyObserver(obj, keyitem) //e.g. subscribe to obj
            .subscribe(() => this.objectPropertyChanged()) //subscribe to prop change
        });
      }
    });
  }

  objectPropertyChanged(newValue, oldValue) {
    this.heavyJobHandler(() => this.updateChartData());
  }

  dataChanged(newValue, oldValue) {
    this.unobserveObjects(['data']);
    if (this.chartObj) {
      this.chartObj.data = newValue;
      this.heavyJobHandler(() => this.updateChartData());
    }
    this.observeObject(this.data, 'data');
  }

  optionsChanged(newValue, oldValue) {
    this.unobserveObjects(['data']);
    if (this.chartObj) {
      this.chartObj.options = options;
      this.heavyJobHandler(() => this.updateChartData());
    }
    this.observeObject(this.options, 'options');
  }
}

although this is part of code, it has the main idea. TG.
