I have a data binding in Knockout to apply a CSS class if a condition is true. When I use a dash in the class name (such as test-class) then I get a javascript error.
Here is a fiddle that demonstrates the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/sgvem/2/
<p data-bind="text: property, css: { with-dash: property().length > 0 }"></p>
Is there a way to add a class with a dash using Knockout JS?
Just put it in quotes:
<p data-bind="text: property, css: { 'with-dash': property().length > 0 }"></p>
Here's an updated fiddle.
As a side note, you don't need the > 0
since a length
of 0
will evaluate to false
, and any other length will evaluate to true
:
<p data-bind="text: property, css: { 'with-dash': property().length }"></p>
You can qualify the name using '
Like this:
<p data-bind="text: property, css: { 'with-dash': property().length > 0 }"></p>
Your Fiddle, updated
Here are the Knockout docs explaining the css binding: http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/css-binding.html
