knockout-es5

Knockout.js meets ECMAScript 5 properties. Read the introduction and basic usage guide.

Installation

To use in a client-side web application, get a copy of the knockout-es5.min.js file, and just add a <script> tag referencing at. Be sure to place the reference after your reference to Knockout itself:

<script src='knockout-x.y.z.js'></script>
<script src='knockout-es5.min.js'></script>

If you are using this on the server in Node.js, just require the file as a module:

var ko = require('./knockout-es5');
// Now use ko - it has been enhanced with ES5 features

How to build from source

First, install NPM if you don't already have it. It comes with Node.js.

Second, install Grunt globally, if you don't already have it:

npm install -g grunt-cli

Third, use NPM to download all the dependencies for this module:

cd wherever_you_cloned_this_repo
npm install

Now you can build the package (linting and running tests along the way):

grunt

Or you can just run the linting tool and tests:

grunt test

Or you can make Grunt watch for changes to the sources/specs and auto-rebuild after each change:

grunt watch

The browser-ready output files will be dumped at the following locations:

• dist/knockout-es5.js
• dist/knockout-es5.min.js
