Searching With Paging using Knockout JS

Java Script Library Provides a better way to manage data driven interfaces which lets you to create , direct connection between dynamics data and its presentation by linking an HTML element with a particular data object, any changes to corresponding object automatically reflected in the DOM(Data Object Model).

Knockout JS Uses a Model – View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern , where model representing the stored data, view representing the visual representation of data and view model play an intermediary role between the model and the view.

View Model (A Pure Java Script Object) Used to show the model data, after manipulation using javascript.

Knockout JS create direct connection between View Model & View which it can detect changes to Model data after Manipulation & Automatically update the relevant aspects of User Interface.

 Observables

Observable are just like java script variables in Knockout JS, but before differently by they let Knockout JS observe about their Changes and automatically update the relevant information in the view and track View Model Properties.

 Bindings

Binding Play an important role in Knockout JS and key to implement Knockout JS, used to connect a HTML Component in a view with observable in a way that Knockout JS can display change to the View Model automatically.

Without Search Output is as :

After Search Output is as :

With Paging Output is as:
