New GitHub Repository for KnockoutJS Binding Handlers

KnockoutJSYesterday I created a new GitHub repo for KnockoutJS binding handlers for use with SharePoint. I’ve been using KnockoutJS for over a year now, and love working with it to build Single Page Application (SPAs) and other interactive functionality inside SharePoint.

I thought starting a repo that could store bindingHandlers for KnockoutJS that are generally useful for working with SharePoint would be useful for a lot of people.

See the Creating custom bindings section of the KnockoutJS documentation for an overview on what binding handlers are all about.

I’ve collected some of these binding handlers and built others. Where possible, I give credit to the source in each file. Unfortunately, in my first year or so of using KnockoutJS, I collected a lot of these without maintaining the source location. If you see your work here, please let me know and I will give you credit!

  • /src contains one file per bindingHandler
  • /html contains example usage of the corresponding bindingHandler

If you’ve been working with KnockoutJS and SharePoint and would like to contribute, feel free to issue a pull request. I’m hoping this will become a repo that is useful for the SharePoint community as well as the KnockoutJS community at large.

I’m also very open to suggestions on how to structure the repo to make it optimally useful. To get things rolling, I’ve posted some of the simpler binding handlers I use, most of which help in working with jQueryUI capabilities.
