django-knockout
===

**[django-knockout](//github.com/AntycSolutions/django-knockout)** makes it super easy to use [knockout.js](//knockoutjs.com/) with your [Django](//www.djangoproject.com/) models. It's great for project with objects that have lots of different models, or models with lots of different fields, or both. It can be used in both prototyping complex applications and directly in the templates of simple ones. Supports forms and formsets via [Knockout pre-rendered](//github.com/ErikSchierboom/knockout-pre-rendered). Supports [Django Rest Framework](//django-rest-framework.org) and [jQuery](//jquery.com) by default, but these can be disabled.

Forked from [django-knockout-modeler](//github.com/Miserlou/django-knockout-modeler).

**django-knockout** (with Django Rest Framework) turns this:

```python
# models.py
class MyObject(models.Model):
    my_number = models.IntegerField()
    my_name = models.CharField()

# views.py
myobject_class = MyObject

# serializers.py
class MyObjectSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = models.MyObject
        fields = '__all__'

# api.py
class MyObjectViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    serializer_class = serializers.MyObjectSerializer
    metadata_class = metadata.KnockoutMetadata
    queryset = models.MyObject.objects.all()
    
# urls.py
router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'myobjects', api.MyObjectViewSet, 'myobject')
urlpatterns += urls.url(r'^api/', urls.include(router.urls)),
```

Into this:

```javascript
var MyObjectViewModel = function (data) {
    var self = this;
    self.my_number = ko.observable(data.my_number);
    self.my_name = ko.observable(data.my_name);
}

var MyObjectListViewModel = function(data) {
    var self = this;
    self.myobjects = ko.observableArray(data);
}

var myobject_data = $.getJSON("/app/api/myobjects/").then(function(data) {
    var ko_data = ko.mapping.fromJS(data)();
    return new MyObjectListViewModel(ko_data);
});

function ko_bind_myobjectviewmodel() {
    var element = document.body;
    person_data.done(function(view_model) {
        ko.applyBindings(view_model, element);
    });    
}

person_options.done(ko_bind_myobjectviewmodel);
```

With this!

```html+django
{# template #}
{% load knockout_tags %}
{% knockout myobject_class %}
```

Quick Start
---

0. Install **django-knockout**

via git
    ```bash
    pip install git+https://github.com/AntycSolutions/django-knockout
    ```
    or
    ```bash
    git clone github.com/AntycSolutions/django-knockout
    pip install ./django-knockout
    ```

1. Add 'knockout' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

```python
    # settings.py
    INSTALLED_APPS = (
      ...
      'knockout',
      # django rest framework, can be disabled
      'restframework',
    )
    ```

2. Include knockout.js in your HTML:

```html+django
    {# template #}
    <script type='text/javascript' src='//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/knockout/3.3.0/knockout-min.js'></script>
    <script type='text/javascript' src='//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/knockout.mapping/2.4.1/knockout.mapping.js'></script>
    {# Optionally needed if you're using forms/formsets #}
    <script type='text/javascript' src='//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/knockout-pre-rendered/0.5.0/knockout-pre-rendered.min.js'></script>
    {# jQuery, can be disabled #}
    <script type='text/javascript' src='//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.js'></script>
    ```

4. Knockout your QuerySet:

```html+django
    {# template #}
    {% load knockout_tags %}
    <script type="text/javascript">
        {% knockout my_objects %}
    </script>
    ```

6. Loop over your bound data like so:

```html+django
    {# template #}
    <div data-bind="foreach: myobjects">
        My Name: <span data-bind="value: my_name"></span>
        My Number: <span data-bind="value: my_number"></span>
    </div>
    ```

Simple Usage
---

**django-knockout** can be used directly in templates to generate knockout view models.

First, import it!

```html+django
{# template #}
{% load knockout_tags %}
```

To get just the list view model, if you prefer to load your data from API's, like this:

```html+django
{# template #}
{% knockout_list_view_model myobject_class %}
```

or if you don't need a list view model just a regular view model:

```html+django
{# template #}
{% knockout_view_model myobject_class %}
```

And even just the bindings:

```html+django
{# template #}
{% knockout_bindings myobject_class %}
```

If you'd like to output the list utils (see below for more information):

```html+django
{# template #}
{% knockout_list_utils myobject_class %}
```

Programmatic Usage
---

First, import it!

```python
from knockout import ko
```

To get the whole template (like the `knockout` tag), you can do this:

```python
ko_string = ko.ko(MyObject)
```

Just the bindings

```python
ko_bindings_string = ko.ko_bindings(MyObject)
```

Just the List View Model

```python
ko_list_view_model_string = ko.ko_list_view_model(MyObject)
```

Just the View Model

```python
ko_view_model_string = ko.ko_view_model(MyObject)
```

list utils (see below for more information):

```python
ko_list_utils_string = ko.ko_list_utils(MyObject)
```

ModelForm Usage
---

Want to use Django forms to generate your html and knockout binds as well? Just use `KnockoutModelForm`:

```python
# forms.py
from knockout import forms

class MyObjectKnockoutModelForm(forms.KnockoutModelForm):
    ...
    class Meta:
        model = models.MyObject
        fields = '__all__'
```

Since Django forms output values we use Knockout pre-rendered to prevent double binding. This means we don't need **django-knockout** to get data via ajax.

```html+django
{# template #}
{% load knockout_tags %}
{% knockout myobject_class disable_ajax_data=True is_list=False %}

<form method="POST">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
```

which outputs:

```html
<p>
    <label for="id_my_number">My Number:</label>
    <input data-bind="init, value: my_number" id="id_my_number" maxlength="64" name="my_number" type="text" value="..." />
</p>
<p>
    <label for="id_my_name">My Name:</label>
    <input data-bind="init, value: my_name" id="id_my_name" maxlength="64" name="my_name" type="text" value="..." />
</p>
```

Custom fieldsets are also allowed at form level (see Access Control for model level):

```python
from knockout import forms

class MyObjectKnockoutModelForm(forms.KnockoutModelForm):
    ...
    @staticmethod
    def knockout_fields():
        return ['id', 'my_name', 'my_number', ...]
```

Access Control
---

If you don't want to expose your entire model to Knockout, you can define a function in your model:
```python
class MyObject(models.Model):
    ...
    @staticmethod
    def knockout_fields():
        return ['id', 'my_name', 'my_number', ...]
```

Sorting
---

django knockout provides some convenience methods (via `knockout_list_utils`/`ko_list_utils`) for manipulating your arrays:

```javascript
    self.addMyObjectViewModel = function(data) {
        self.persons.push(new MyObjectViewModel(data));
    };

self.createMyObjectViewModel = function(data) {
        return new MyObjectViewModel(data);
    };

self.removeMyObjectViewModel = function(data) {
        self.persons.remove(data);
    };

self.destroyMyObjectViewModel = function(data) {
        self.persons.destroy(data);
    };

self.deleteMyObjectViewModel = function(data) {
        var index = self.persons.indexOf(data);
        self.persons()[index].DELETE(true);
    }
```

* See [here](http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/observableArrays.html) for what the destroy function is for
* The data parameter for add/create is optional
* The delete function is for formsets

for sorting your data (see below for changing the comparator):

```javascript
self.sortMyObjectViewModelsAsc = function() {
    self.myobjects.sort(function(a, b) {
        var a_comparator = a.id();
        var b_comparator = b.id();
        if (!a_comparator) { a_comparator = undefined; }
        if (!b_comparator) { b_comparator = undefined; }
        var result = a_comparator>b_comparator?-1:a_comparator<b_comparator?1:0;

return result;
    });
};

self.sortMyObjectViewModelsDesc = function() {
    self.myobjects.sort(function(a, b) {
        var a_comparator = a.id();
        var b_comparator = b.id();
        if (!a_comparator) { a_comparator = undefined; }
        if (!b_comparator) { b_comparator = undefined; }
        var result = a_comparator<b_comparator?-1:a_comparator>b_comparator?1:0;

return result;
    });
};
```

Include a variation of this in your template:

```html+django
{# template #}
<button data-bind='click: sortMyObjectViewModelsAsc'>Sort Asc</button>
<button data-bind='click: sortMyObjectViewModelsDesc'>Sort Desc</button>
```

By default, it will use the object's 'id' field, but you can also define your own comparator like so:

```python
class MyObject(models.Model):
    ...
    @staticmethod
    def knockout_comparator(self):
        return 'my_name'  # or whichever field
```

If you don't define a comparator, 'id' must be available.

Multi-Model Support
---

**django-knockout** is all ready set up to be used with multiple types of data at the same time, as bindings can happen to specific objects via this generated function:

```javascript
function ko_bind() {
    var element_id = "myobjectviewmodel";
    var element = document.getElementById(element_id);
    
    ko.applyBindings(new MyObjectListViewModel(), element);
}
ko_bind();
```

which means that you somewhere in your HTML template, you will need to have an object with that id, like so:

```html+django
{# template #}
<div id="myobjectviewmodel">
    <div data-bind="foreach: myobjects">
        User <span data-bind="value: my_name"></span> is number <span data-bind="value: my_number"></span>.
    </div>
</div>
```

and add the paramter to the `knockout` tag:

```html+django
{# template #}
{% load knockout_tags %}
{% knockout myobject_class element_id="myobjectviewmodel" %}
```

Custom Data Support
---

Is **django-knockout** using the wrong url? Pass it into `knockout`/`ko` or `knockout_bindings`/`ko_bindings`:

```html+django
{# template #}
{% load knockout_tags %}
{% url 'app:myobject-list' as myobject_list_url %}
{% knockout myobject_class url=myobject_list_url %}
```

```python
from knockout import ko
ko.ko(MyObject, url='/app/api/myobjects')
```

Settings
---

The following settings are currently supported:

```python
# settings.py
DJANGO_KNOCKOUT = {
    'disable_jquery': False,  # default
    'disable_ajax_data': False,  # default
    'disable_ajax_options': False,  # default
}
```

* Don't like jQuery (or don't want to include another library)? Set `disable_jquery` to `True` and **django-knockout** will fallback to vanilla javascript `XMLHttpRequest`
* Don't like how **django-knockout** fetches data? Set `disable_ajax_data` to `True` and provide your own data (after knockout tags)
```javascript
var vm = ko.dataFor(document.body); // or
vm = ko.dataFor(document.getElementById(id)); // if you specified an element_id
vm.myobjects(data);
```
* Don't like how **django-knockout** fetches view model's fields? Set `disable_ajax_options` to `True` and setup your fields manually (before knockout tags)
```javascript
myobject_fields = {
    'my_number': null, // null required to become observable
    'my_name': null,
    'my_list': [], // [] required to become observableArray
    ...
}
```

```

#### Knockout Tags

Knockout template tags `knockout`, `knockout_list_view_model`, `knockout_bindings`, `knockout_view_model`, `knockout_list_utils` match up with their Knockout function equivalent, except their first required arg `model_class` can be a list of models, a QuerySet, a model's class, or an instance of a model. They also implicitly take in the context when called.

```html+django
{# template #}

{% data_bind field as data_bind %}
```
