如何禁用/启用映射到敲除可观察数组的表中嵌入的下拉菜单

Question

I'd like to disable/enable a drop down embedded in a table in a form until a particular value is selected in the predecessor drop down.

Here's what I tried that doesn't seem to work:

<tbody data-bind="foreach:studentData">
    <tr>
        <td><span data-bind="text:rollNo"></span></td>
        <td><select class="form-control" data-bind="options:$parent.sexDropDown,optionsText:'name',optionValue:'id',value:sex,optionsCaption:'-Select-'"></select></td>
        <td><select class="form-control" data-bind="options:$parent.uniformTypeDropDown,optionsText:'name',optionValue:'id',value:uniform,enable:sex? (sex.id == 2):false,optionsCaption:'-Select-'"></select></td>
    </tr>
</tbody>

To give a brief I want the "Uniform Type" drop down in each of the rows to be enabled in case the option "Female" is selected in the "Sex" drop down and it needs to be disabled in all other scenarios.

Answer 1

First, your sex and uniform properties have to be observable to allow for two way binding:

self.studentData  = ko.observableArray([
  { rollNo: 1, sex: ko.observable(null), uniform: ko.observable(null) }
  //                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^    ^           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^    ^
  // This allows the `value` binding to write to the property
]);

Then, in your enable binding, you can use the live-updating value:

enable: sex() ? (sex().id === 2) : false
//         ^^       ^^
// Because this property is now observable, you need to call it to extract
// its value
