Knockout Init Component

This is a simple knockout component which will automatically create observables from arbitrary json.

It uses knockout.moment, knockout.money, and knockout.integer to automatically extend the observables with the specified names.

Installation

npm install knockout-init

Then add knockout.init.js to your project.

Usage

Include the script in your bundle, then:

var koInit = require("knockout.init");

var dataFromServer = {
	createdOn: "May 15, 2014",
	expiresOn: "May 15, 2037",
	numberOfThings: "4700",
	price: "570000",
	otherThing: "hello world"
};

var myObj = {};
koInit(myObj, dataFromServer, {
	dates: ["createdOn", "expiresOn"],
	integers: ["numberOfThings"],
	moneys: ["price"]
});

console.log(myObj.createdOn.usFormat()); //05/15/2014
console.log(myObj.numberOfThings.formatted()); //4,700
console.log(myObj.price.formatted()); //$570,000.00
