Overview of this book

KnockoutJS By Example is a project-based guide that introduces the key features and concepts of knockout.js. It helps you create an application skeleton and a Hello World application. You will develop a To-Do list application that aims to show the basic features of knockout.js in action, such as data binding and observables, following which you will develop a dynamic online customer registration form that captures and validates customer information. This book will further walk you through developing a customer banking portal, which demonstrates the use of knockout.js with components such as navigation bars, tabs, carousels, master details view, panels, forms, and wizards. You will also discover how to use token-based authentication and authorization to secure the customer banking portal, and move on to creating an editable products grid with CRUD operations. Finally, you will explore how to use the Google Maps API with knockout.js. KnockoutJS By Example will not only leave you with a basic understanding of knockout.js fundamentals but also take you through some of the advanced features.

Chapter 8. Building an Editable Products Grid with CRUD Operations

In this chapter we will walk through building an editable products grid application. This application will allow the users to create, view, update, and delete products. In the previous chapters, we used a server stub to mimic the server. However, in this chapter, we will learn how to develop a client to communicate with a real server, which exposes the RESTful services for CRUD operations. The products grid application will build and enhance the concepts learned in the previous chapters.

We will implement the following application features in this chapter:

  • View a list of all the products, including product ID, name, description, and price

  • Delete a product from the product list

  • Add a new product to the product list

  • Update an existing product

In this chapter, you will learn how to:

  • Build a generic RESTful API client

  • Perform create operation using HTTP POST

  • Perform read operation using HTTP GET

  • Perform update operation using HTTP PUT...
