This is probably one of my favorite data bindings for Knockout.js: isdirty. The concept behind the function is to track when there is a change to any object including any of its properties. It’s extremely powerful handling nested objects as well.
Let’s take a look at how to use:
When you’re first starting out with Node js, it might be a bit confusing because you are most likely accustomed to writing JavaScript code for the web browser. When Node js is the server, the syntax is similar but there are a few differences around how other JavaScript files and modules are included. When writing on the server side you may include files as follows: require(‘./mysharedfile’);.
Whether you are using the Bootstrap datepicker with a JavaScript array or the jQuery datepicker, they both use the same underlying JavaScript library. So with today’s example, let’s explore implementing the jQuery library with an added bonus of creating a Knockout.js custom binding.
The end goal of this custom data bind jQuery tutorial is to create a form input field data bound not to the standard value binding, but instead to the custom one appropriately named: datepicker.
I was searching the web for some neat ideas and I came across this intriguing jQuery plugin that allows you to embed a YouTube video on your website.
