I am new to Knockout and I am trying to update my ViewModel from an ajax call.
This is what I have right now:
LoanDeductions.js
var deductionLine = function (deductionID, deductionName, amount) {
self = this;
self.deductionID = ko.observable(deductionID);
self.deductionName = ko.observable(deductionName);
self.amount = ko.observable(amount);
};
function LoanDeductions(deductions) {
var self = this;
self.loanDeductions = ko.observableArray(ko.utils.arrayMap(deductions, function (deduction) {
return new deductionLine(deduction.deductionID, deduction.deductionName, deduction.amount)
}));
// Operationss
self.removeLine = function (line) { self.loanDeductions.remove(line) };
};
and this is my scripts in my view:
@section scripts
{
<script src="~/Scripts/koModel/LoanDeductions.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var updateValues = function () {
$.ajax({
'url': '@Url.Action("UpdateDeductionValues","LoanApp")',
'data': { amount: $('.LoanAmount').val() },
'success': function (result) {// update viewmodel scripts here}
});
var viewModel = new LoanDeductions(@Html.Raw(Model.CRefLoansDeductions2.ToJson()));
$(document).ready(function () {
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
$('.datepicker').datepicker();
$('.LoanAmount').change(function () {
updateValues();
};
});
});
</script>
}
So, in my view, I have a dropdown list with class name "LoanAmount" which when value is changed, it will perform an ajax call, send the selected loanAmount value to the server, recompute the deduction amounts, then the server returns a jsonresult that looks like this:
"[{\"deductionID\":1,\"deductionName\":\"Loan Redemption Fee\",\"amount\":53.10},{\"deductionID\":2,\"deductionName\":\"Document Stamp\",\"amount\":9.00}]"
Now what I wanted to do is use this json data as my new viewModel.
Can anyone show me the way how to do this, please note that I manually mapped my viewmodel and didn't used the ko mapping plugin.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, more power!
EDIT (in response to Fabio)
function updateData() {
$.ajax({
url: '@Url.Action("UpdateDeductionValues","LoanApp")',
data: { amount: self.selectedLoanAmount() },
success: function (deductions) {
//load your array with ko.utils.arrayMap
ko.utils.arrayMap(deductions, function (deduction) {
return new deductionLine(deduction.deductionID, deduction.deductionName, deduction.amount)
});
}
});
}
