I'm new to knockout and want to have 2 links on the page with 2 models. I would like the click event on the links switch which view model gets displayed. I've tried a few ways and have a jfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/edgrttj3/7/ but I can't get it to work. Any idea on what I might be doing wrong?
<div id="content">
<a id="button1" href="#" >View 1</a>
<a id="button2" href="#" >View 2</a>
<hr />
<div data-bind="with: selectedView">
<div data-bind="template: { name: templateName, data: data }"></div>
</div>
<script id="oneTmpl" type="text/html">
<ul data-bind="foreach: items">
<li>
<span data-bind="text: id"></span>
<input data-bind="value: name" />
</li>
</ul>
</script>
<script id="twoTmpl" type="text/html">
First:
<input data-bind="value: firstName" />
Last:
<input data-bind="value: lastName" />
</script>
</div>
Here is the javascript:
var View = function (title, templateName, data) {
this.title = title;
this.templateName = templateName;
this.data = data;
};
var subModelA = {
items: ko.observableArray([
{ id: 1, name: "one" },
{ id: 2, name: "two" },
{ id: 3, name: "three" }
])
};
var subModelB = {
firstName: ko.observable("Bob"),
lastName: ko.observable("Smith")
};
var viewModel = {
views: ko.observableArray([
new View("one", "oneTmpl", subModelA),
new View("two", "twoTmpl", subModelB)
]),
selectedView: ko.observable()
};
function setSelectedView(newview) {
alert(newview);
if (newview == "oneTmpl") {
viewModel.selectedView = viewModel.views[0];
} else {
viewModel.selectedView = viewModel.views[1];
}
};
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
document.getElementById ("button1").addEventListener("click", setSelectedView('oneTmpl'), false);
document.getElementById ("button1").addEventListener("click", setSelectedView('twoTmpl'), false);
Actually your implementation is almost there. There are just couple of tweaks you need to do.
selectedView(valueIsHere).views()[0]So here is how it looks after the update:
var View = function (title, templateName, data) {
this.title = title;
this.templateName = templateName;
this.data = data;
};
var subModelA = {
items: ko.observableArray([
{ id: 1, name: "one" },
{ id: 2, name: "two" },
{ id: 3, name: "three" }
])
};
var subModelB = {
firstName: ko.observable("Bob"),
lastName: ko.observable("Smith")
};
var ViewModel = function (){
this.views = ko.observableArray([
new View("one", "oneTmpl", subModelA),
new View("two", "twoTmpl", subModelB)
]);
this.selectedView = ko.observable();
this.select = function(id){
if (id === 1) {
this.selectedView(this.views()[0]);
} else {
this.selectedView(this.views()[1]);
}
};
};
ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel());
And here are few changes to the button:
<a id="button1" href="#" data-bind="click: select(1)">View 1</a>
<a id="button2" href="#" data-bind="click: select(2)">View 2</a>
