Knockout ViewLocator

[Anargyros Tomaras]

Does KnockoutJS provide some way to implement a ViewLocator?

A ViewLocator is similar to a component binding but the difference is that it binds to a ViewModel object and

automatically figures out the correct View to instantiate and bind.

For example i want to write this

<div data-bind="'component: DetailsViewModel"></div>

and i want to find and create the DetailsView.html and bind it to the data bound DetailsViewModel observable.

Is this possible?

How is DetailsViewModel loaded?

Somehow, the viewlocator needs to know where the viewmodel is located, so that can it resolve a path (or module id) for the view.

To be more exact heres the code

<div data-bind="'component: $data"></div>

where the $data is the DetailsViewModel.

So the binding handler knows the ViewModel object. What i want is to write logic

to resolve the View based on my own naming convention.

I do not want to have to specify a component name inside the data-bind and

also i do not want to have to register every View/ViewModel pair.

These 2 links in the knockout documentation should give you all you need.

Essentially, you need to implement a custom loader.
