Knockout-handsontable

Knockout-handsontable is a binding for Knockout.js designed designed to connect observableArrays with handsontable. This allows handsontable to bind to the knockout viewmodel to communicate with the handsontable and the handsontable to communicate with observables or variables.

Basic Usage

View Model

$(document).ready(function (fname, lname, sex, phone) {
     function Person() {
         var self = this;
         self.fname = ko.observable(fname);
         self.lname = ko.observable(lname);
         self.info = {sex: sex, phone: phone}
     }

    function exampleVM() {
         self.listOfPersons = ko.observableArray([]);
         self.listOfPersons.push(new Person('Cave', 'Johnson', 'Male', '555-5555'));
         self.listOfPersons.push(new Person('Caroline', '', 'Female', '652-4556'));
         self.listOfPersons.push(new Person('Morality', 'Core', 'none', '555-5555'));
     }
     //window.AppVM = new AppViewModel();
     ko.applyBindings(new exampleVM());

 });

HTML Elements

    <div class="handsontable" data-bind="handsontable: {
            data: listOfPersons(),
            colHeaders: ['First Name', 'Last Name', 'Sex', 'Phone'],
            columns: [
              {data: 'fname'},
              {data: 'lname'},
              {data: 'info.sex'},
