Inner computed properties

Knockout MVC also supports simple computed properties. These properties have a JavaScript representation and can be calculated on the client without additional requests to the server. For example, let's define a computed property DisplayText for our BookModel. This property will be calculated on the basis of Author and Title.

The Model will be as follows:

public class BookModel
{
  public string Title { get; set; }
  public string Author { get; set; }

  [Computed]
  [ScriptIgnore]
  [JsonIgnore]
  public string DisplayText
  {
    get { return Author + ": " + Title; }
  }
}
public class LibraryModel
{
  public List<BookModel> Books { get; set; }
}

The Controller will be as follows:

public class LibraryController : KnockoutController
{
  public ActionResult Index()
  {
    var model = new LibraryModel
    {
      Books = new List<BookModel>
      {
        new BookModel { Title = "Oliver Twist", Author = "Charles Dickens" },
        new BookModel { Title...
