Observables

ObservableObservable Array

Dependent Observables (Computed)

ObservablesFunctions (not all browsers support getters and setters)

// read valuevar val = viewmodel.name();

// set valueviewmodel.name(“Valdis”)

Observable ArrayUse with collections

Detect changes only within an arrayUse knockout array methods (cross-browser)

viewmodel.customers = ko.obserableArray();

viewmodel.customers.push(new customer());

indexOf(item)slice(2, 4)push(item)

pop()unshift(item)

shift()reverse()

sort()remove(item)removeAll()

Dependent Observables (Computed)“this” keyword has to be managed

viewmodel.fullname = ko.computed(function() { return this.name() + “ ” + this.surname();})

Custom bindings(most powerful extension point)

Event binding

addOnEnter: function(model, event) { var keycode = (event.which ? event.which : event.keyCode); if (keycode === 13) { viewModel.addTCustomer(); }

return true;}

data-bind=“event: {keypress: addOnEnter}”

Custom bindingsDefine your own behavior

ko.bindingHandlers.yourBindingName = { init: update:}

ko.bindingHandlers.executeOnEnter = { init: function(element, valueAccessor, allBindingAccessor, viewModel) { var value = valueAccessor(); $(element).keypress(function(event) { var keycode = (event.which ? event.which : event.keyCode); if (keycode === 13) { value.call(viewModel); return false; }

return true; }); }};

data-bind=“executeOnEnter: addCustomer”
