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.

Capturing address using autocomplete


The first feature of this chapter is about capturing address using the autocomplete feature of places library provided by the Google Maps APIs. To implement this feature, we will:

  • Add reference to the Google Maps APIs library in the view

  • Create the model to hold the address information

  • Create custom binding handler for the address autocomplete input component

  • Add the autocomplete input components to the view and bind them to use the custom binding handler

Let's get started by adding reference to the Google Maps APIs to the view. Open the view in the mapsapplication.html file and add the highlighted line of code in the HTML header:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" />
    <title>Knockout : Maps Application</title>
    
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    
    <script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/jquery-2.1.3.min.js"...
