Knockout is a JavaScript library that helps you to create responsive display(UI) It is based on Model–view–viewmodel (MVVM) pattern It provides a simple two-way data binding mechanism between your data model and UI It was developed and is maintained as an open source project by Steve Sanderson, a Microsoft employee on July 5, 2010

- 3. What is Knockout Js ● Knockout is a JavaScript library that helps you to create responsive display(UI) ● It is based on Model–view–viewmodel (MVVM) pattern ● It provides a simple two-way data binding mechanism between your data model and UI ● It was developed and is maintained as an open source project by Steve Sanderson, a Microsoft employee on July 5, 2010
- 4. MVVM Design Pattern MVVM pattern has 3 key parts: ● Model – It stores application data and is independent of any UI ● View – It provides User Interface ● View-Model – It connect model and view and a pure-code representation of the data and operations on a UI
- 5. MVVM
- 6. Features ● Declarative Bindings It allows you to connect your UI element to your data model ● Automatic UI Refresh When your data model's state changes, your UI updates automatically ● Dependency Tracking Implicitly set up chains of relationships between model data, to transform and combine it ● Extensible This implements custom behaviors as new declarative bindings for easy reuse in just a few lines of code. Knockout is also flexible to integrate with other libraries and technologies
- 7. Why Knockout Js ? ● Small & lightweight - 54kb minified ● Compatible with other technologies ● Open source and free ● Smart feature - self updating UI ● Fully documented ● It supports all mainstream browsers: IE 6+, Firefox 2+, Chrome, Safari, others
- 8. To create a view model with KO Just declare any JavaScript object, For example var employeeViewModel = { empName: 'Teena', empId: '12' }; ViewModel holds the UI's underlying data and behaviors
- 9. ViewModel inside a View You can then create a very simple view of this view model using a declarative binding. Name is <span data-bind="text: empName"></span> Binding attribute DOM element with model properties
- 10. Activating Knockout Js ko.applyBindings(employeeViewModel); Here, view will display like you would have written following html Name is <span>Teena</span> Activate Knockout
- 11. Observables These are special JavaScript objects that can notify subscribers about changes, and can automatically detect dependencies. Rewrite the preceding view model object as follows: var employeeViewModel = { empName: ko.observable('abc'), empId: ko.observable(49) };
- 12. Read/Write Properties of Observable ● To read: employeeViewModel.empName() ● To write: employeeViewModel.empName('Teena') ● To write value to multiple observable: employeeViewModel.empName('bob').empId('15')
- 13. Computed Observable Computed observable are functions that are dependent on one or more other observables and will automatically update whenever any of these dependencies change. var empDetail = ko.computed(function() { return employeeViewModel.empName() + " employee id: " + employeeViewModel.empId(); });
- 14. Controlling Dependencies ● Knockout’s automatic dependency tracking. But we might sometimes need to control which observables will update your computed observable. var empDetail = ko.computed(function() { return employeeViewModel.empName() + " employee id: " + employeeViewModel.empId.peek(); });
- 15. Knockout Bindings ● Controlling text and appearance: visible, text, html, css, style, attr ● Control flow: foreach, if, ifnot, with ,component ● Working with form fields: click, event, submit, enable, disable, value, textInput etc.
