Context of this when triggering method on root fro

问题:

I have this very simple test view

<button data-bind="click: add">Add</button>
<table data-bind="foreach: items">
    <tr>
        <td data-bind="text: name"></td>
        <td><button data-bind="click: $root.remove">Remove</button></td>
    <tr>
</table>

The problem is that the context of this in the remove method is the child view model that fired the click event

I havent found a solution that I like, you can add a self variable in the contructor and use that instead of "this", but its more clean code and OO to use the "this" keyword

You can also create a proxy function delegate but its still not very clean code

What I would like is to tell ko somehow to set the context of this to the correct correct scope ($root in this case) is it possible?

回答1:

The click/event bindings run in the context of the current data as you have found.

There are a few options to ensure that your function runs with the correct context:

• set the correct this to a variable like self and use it in your handler (as you have mentioned)
• use something like $.proxy or .bind in your view model to ensure that this is correct (as you have mentioned)
• bind the function in-line like data-bind="click: $root.remove.bind($root)"
• use an (ugly) anonymous function like data-bind="click: function() { $root.remove($data); }"
