Knockout.js - 如何在计算的observable中获取可观察属性的值？

Question

I have following Knockout.js object:

var viewModel = {
    description : ko.observable(""),
    Name : ko.observable(""),
    productid : ko.observable(""),
    productmodel : ko.observable(""),
    productnumber : ko.observable(""),
    text_relevance : ko.observable(""),
    mydunamicfield : ko.computed(function() {
        return "bq=(and " +
            ((this.description == "") ? "" : ("description:" + this.description + " ")) +
            ")";
    } , this)
};

But the mydunamicfield property isn't producing the the correct concatenated result. If I try to reference this.description() inside another function, I see the following error message when the page is loading:

Property 'description' of object [object Window] is not a function

What is the problem in this case?

Answer 1

Firstly, you must reference this.description as this.description() if you want to get its value.

Secondly, try putting your computed field outside your viewModel (as 'this' which is the viewModel itself isn't defined at the point you create the computed observable.

See http://jsfiddle.net/rAEqK/2/ for a working example.
