Future Development Ideas

• Add additional fields
• Explore the use of knockout-pre-render for the display of data in a grid (would replace the setKnockout binding handler and restructure the templates/tests). This library is currently only one dimensional.

Pull Requests are Welcome

The recommended approach is to extend an existing Silverstripe field. Ensure that the appropriate Binding Type is specified and cast getters from trait class Common.php and add any needed methods.

namespace AntonyThorpe\Knockout;

require_once('Common.php');
use SilverStripe\Forms\????ParentField;

/**
 * Knockout NameOfNewField
 *
 * Creates a {@link NameOfNewField} with an additional data-bind attribute that links to a Knockout observable
 */
class KnockoutNameOfField extends ????ParentField
{
    use \Knockout\Common;

    /**
     * bindingType
     */
    protected $bindingType = "theKnockoutBindingHandler";

If needed add the __construct function to overriding the field's class.

Adapt the Frameworks form templates to incorporate Knockout's binding handlers and save into templates/AntonyThorpe/Knockout.

Tests

• Create a model test for the new form field
• Update KnockoutFormTest.php and KnockoutFormTestController.php to test the creation of the binding handler in HTML.
• Add the new Knockout field to the form function within the KnockoutFormTestController class
• Add a new assertion to the testKnockoutForm function within the KnockoutFormTest class
• Add to docs/en/documentation.md
