I need some help in integrating a loading progress bar of JqueryUI to loading of data from a Observable array of KO. I have created some JsFiddles
fiddle for KnockOut : http://jsfiddle.net/neodescorpio/HksCA/
fiddle for JqueryUI Progress bar : http://jsfiddle.net/neodescorpio/NAs3V/
I need to combine both of these so that on loading of knock out a progress bar with percentage is shown and disappears after data is loaded 100%. If any other progressbar is used im okay with it. i just want a progress to be shown.
You should make a custom binding to manipulate the jQuery progress bar from knockout bindings. For example something like that (very contrived example):
ko.bindingHandlers.progress = {
init: function(element, valueAccessor) {
$(element).progressbar({
value: 0
});
},
update: function(element, valueAccessor) {
var val = ko.utils.unwrapObservable(valueAccessor());
$(element).progressbar("value", parseFloat(val));
}
};
Now you can create a progress bar from a div and command it through an observable value (which should return a number, or a string representing a number, ranging from 1 to 100), by using the progress binding - e.g.:
<div data-bind="progress: percentComplete"></div>
I update your fiddle to show an example: http://jsfiddle.net/HksCA/2/
