valueAccessor() возвращает сигнатуру функции вместо значения во время создания пользовательской привязки

<p>First Name <strong data-bind="text: firstName"></strong></p>
<p>Last Name <strong data-bind="text: lastName"></strong></p>
<p>Change First Name <input data-bind="value: firstName, valueUpdate: 'afterkeydown'" type="text" name="firstName"></p>
<p>Change Last Name <input data-bind="value: lastName, valueUpdate: 'afterkeydown'" , type="text" name="lastName"></p>
<p>Full Name: <strong data-bind="text: fullName"></strong></p>
<p>Add new hobby: <input data-bind="value: hobby, valueUpdate: 'afterkeydown'" type="text" name="hobby"><button data-bind="click: addHobby">Add</button></p>
<p>Hobby to possibly be added: <strong data-bind="text: hobby"></strong></p>
<ul data-bind="foreach: hobbies">
  <div>
    <li data-bind="text: $data"></li>
    <button data-bind="click: $parent.removeHobby">Remove Hobby</button>
  </div>
</ul>
<p>Total Number of Properties: <strong data-bind="makeDecimal: numberOfHobbies"></strong></p>
