This is very useful if you want to let the user select from a set of model objects. The value binding works in conjunction with the options binding to let you read and write values that are arbitrary JavaScript objects, not just string values. Knockout has special support for drop-down lists (i.e., nodes). Note 1: Working with drop-down lists (i.e., SELECT nodes) Of these options, "afterkeydown" is the best choice if you want to keep your view model updated in real-time. This works by catching the browser’s keydown event and handling the event asynchronously.

"afterkeydown" - updates your view model as soon as the user begins typing a character.

Unlike keyup, this updates repeatedly while the user holds a key down

"keypress" - updates your view model when the user has typed a key.

"keyup" - updates your view model when the user releases a key.

The following string values are the most commonly useful choices: If your binding also includes a parameter called valueUpdate, this defines additional browser events KO should use to detect changes besides the change event.

KO will always attempt to update your view model when the value has been modified and a user transfers focus to another DOM node (i.e., on the change event), but you can also trigger updates based on other events by using the valueUpdate parameter described below. Whenever the user edits the value in the associated form control, KO will update the property on your view model. If you supply something other than a number or a string (e.g., you pass an object or an array), the displayed text will be equivalent to yourParameter.toString() (that’s usually not very useful, so it’s best to supply string or numeric values). If the parameter isn’t observable, it will only set the element’s value once and will not update it again later. If this parameter is an observable value, the binding will update the element’s value whenever the value changes. KO sets the element’s value property to your parameter value. UserPassword: ko.observable("abc"), // Prepopulate UserName: ko.observable(""), // Initially blank

How KO works and what benefits it brings.

There are several options but for these real time scenarios using the value of afterkeydown works best. By adding that to the data-bind expression we can get real time updates.

Quite often this will be good enough as the resulting value isn’t used right away but there are cases, like here, where it is and we want more frequent updates.Īs it turns out the value data binding has an additional option, the valueUpdate, that controls when the value, and therefor the computed observable full name is updated. Whenever I start typing the full name isn’t updated until the control losses focus. This worked just fine as soon as I started using observables except for one thing. I created a small demo where we could update the first and last name of a person and the ViewModel would combine the two and display the concatenated parts as the complete name. And I explained that the reason I really like Knockout.js is that it is a very familiar way of working with its MVVM style.
