// Here's my data model
var viewModel = {
firstName: ko.observable("Sky"),
lastName: ko.observable("King"),
};
viewModel.fullName = function() {
// Knockout tracks dependencies automatically. It knows that fullName depends on firstName and lastName, because these get called when evaluating fullName.
return viewModel.firstName() + " " + viewModel.lastName();
};
viewModel.showDots = function(){
return viewModel.fullName().length>10;
};
ko.bindingHandlers.slideVisible = {
init: function(element, valueAccessor, allBindings, viewModel, bindingContext) {
var value = valueAccessor();
var valueUnwrapped = ko.unwrap(value);
// Now manipulate the DOM element
if (valueUnwrapped == true)
$(element).show(); // Make the element visible
else
$(element).hide(); // Make the element invisible
},
update: function(element, valueAccessor, allBindings) {
// First get the latest data that we're bound to
var value = valueAccessor();
// Next, whether or not the supplied model property is observable, get its current value
var valueUnwrapped = ko.unwrap(value);
// Grab some more data from another binding property
var duration = allBindings.get('slideDuration') || 400; // 400ms is default duration unless otherwise specified
// Now manipulate the DOM element
if (valueUnwrapped == true)
$(element).slideDown(duration); // Make the element visible
else
$(element).slideUp(duration); // Make the element invisible
}
};
// This makes Knockout get to work
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
