I have an array of objects for which I am showing their properties.
How can add an individual edit functionality to them? Lets say it to be an edit button for each one of the elements of the list.
I want to show input fields instead of text fields when the object is in edit mode, for this I am using the visible binding. So I need a Boolean observable for each of them.
How can I do this without knowing the amount of elements in the list... I also have add and delete, so I would need to add more observables to this array each time a new element is created.
I also tried to give a ko.observable element to my objects but I could not do this.
I like to use an object inside the observableArray
. Here is an example of an inline edit feature for as many many rows as needed.
function Employee(emp) {
var self = this;
self.Name = ko.observable(emp.Name);
self.Age = ko.observable(emp.Age);
self.Salary = ko.observable(emp.Salary);
self.EditMode = ko.observable(emp.EditMode);
self.ChangeMode = function() {
self.EditMode(!self.EditMode());
}
}
function viewModel() {
var self = this;
self.Employees = ko.observableArray()
self.Employees.push(new Employee({
Name: "Joe",
Age: 20,
Salary: 100,
EditMode: false
}));
self.Employees.push(new Employee({
Name: "Steve",
Age: 22,
Salary: 121,
EditMode: false
}));
self.Employees.push(new Employee({
Name: "Tom",
Age: 24,
Salary: 110,
EditMode: false
}));
}
var VM = new viewModel();
ko.applyBindings(VM);
