Knockout.js meets ECMAScript 5 properties. Read the introduction and basic usage guide.
To use in a client-side web application, get a copy of the knockout-es5.min.js file,
and just add a <script> tag referencing at. Be sure to place the reference after your reference to Knockout itself:
<script src='knockout-x.y.z.js'></script>
<script src='knockout-es5.min.js'></script>
If you are using this on the server in Node.js, just require the file as a module:
var ko = require('./knockout-es5');
// Now use ko - it has been enhanced with ES5 features
First, install NPM if you don't already have it. It comes with Node.js.
Second, install Grunt globally, if you don't already have it:
npm install -g grunt-cli
Third, use NPM to download all the dependencies for this module:
cd wherever_you_cloned_this_repo
npm install
Now you can build the package (linting and running tests along the way):
grunt
Or you can just run the linting tool and tests:
grunt test
Or you can make Grunt watch for changes to the sources/specs and auto-rebuild after each change:
grunt watch
The browser-ready output files will be dumped at the following locations:
dist/knockout-es5.jsdist/knockout-es5.min.js
