Step 1: HTML Structure

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <!-- Meta tags and title -->
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Container for the application -->
    <div class="container">
        <!-- Product management heading -->
        <h1>Product Management</h1>
        
        <!-- Form to add a new product -->
        <form>
            <!-- Input fields for product name and price -->
            <!-- Button to add a new product -->
        </form>
        
        <!-- Table to display products -->
        <table>
            <!-- Table headers -->
            <!-- Table body for products -->
                <!-- Rows for each product -->
                    <!-- Columns for product details -->
                    <!-- Actions for each product (Edit and Delete buttons) -->
            <!-- End of table body -->
        </table>
        
        <!-- Form to edit a product -->
        <form>
            <!-- Input fields for edited product name and price -->
            <!-- Buttons to save changes and cancel editing -->
        </form>
    </div>

    <!-- JavaScript library Knockout.js -->
    <!-- Script to initialize Knockout.js bindings -->
</body>
</html>

Step 2: Data Model and View Model

  • Define a Product constructor function to represent each product.
  • Create an instance of Product for each product with observable properties.
  • Define the AppViewModel to manage the application state and operations.
 <script> function AppViewModel() { var self = this; // Data self.newProductName = ko.observable(''); self.newProductPrice = ko.observable(''); self.products = ko.observableArray([]); self.editedProductName = ko.observable(''); self.editedProductPrice = ko.observable(''); self.isEditing = ko.observable(false); self.currentProduct = ko.observable(null); } ko.applyBindings(new AppViewModel()); </script>

Step 3: Add Products

  • Implement a function in the view model to add new products to the array.
  • Bind this function to the submit event of the add product form.
// Operations self.addProduct = function () { self.products.push({ name: ko.observable(self.newProductName()), price: ko.observable(self.newProductPrice()) }); self.newProductName(''); self.newProductPrice(''); };

Step 4: Edit Products

  • Implement functions in the view model to handle editing a product.
  • Bind these functions to the click event of the Edit button.
  • Use observables to track the edited product's name and price.
self.editProduct = function (product) { self.currentProduct(product); self.editedProductName(product.name()); self.editedProductPrice(product.price()); self.isEditing(true); };

Step 5: Save Changes

  • Implement a function in the view model to save changes made to the edited product.
  • Bind this function to the submit event of the edit product form.
  • Update the product's properties with the new values.
self.saveProduct = function () { var product = self.currentProduct(); product.name(self.editedProductName()); product.price(self.editedProductPrice()); self.isEditing(false); };

Step 6: Cancel Editing

  • Implement a function in the view model to cancel editing.
  • Bind this function to the click event of the Cancel button.
  • Set the edited product to null to exit edit mode.
self.cancelEdit = function () { self.isEditing(false); };

Step 7: Delete Products

  • Implement a function in the view model to delete a product.
  • Bind this function to the click event of the Delete button.
  • Use the remove method of the observable array to remove the product.
self.deleteProduct = function (product) { self.products.remove(product); };

Step 8: Apply Bindings

  • Use the ko.applyBindings function to apply the view model bindings to the HTML elements.

This breakdown outlines the key steps involved in creating a CRUD application using Knockout.js. Each step contributes to the overall functionality of the application, allowing users to manage products effectively.

 ko.applyBindings(new AppViewModel());

 

At last bind all code in one program.

Output -

CRUD operation in KnockoutJS.

 

Thank you.
