Pass data through popover trigger

[mika76]

Would it be possible to pass a bound object through the trigger to the template?

Something like:

<button class="btn" 
   data-bind="popover: {template: 'popoverBindingTemplate', 
   title: 'Oh Yea Binding', 
   value:someObject}">
Launch Binding Popover
</button>

<script type="text/html" id="popoverBindingTemplate">
<button class="close pull-right" type="button" data-dismiss="popover">×</button>
<form>
<label>Property</label>
<input type="text" data-bind="value: SomePropertyOfObject, valueUpdate:'afterkeydown'" />
</form>
</script>

It depends on how your view model is setup on the page you should be able to reference children of an object inside the popover without passing in any additional parameters. It would be great if you could attempt what you want to accomplish with the current plugin in a JS fiddle and I can have a better idea of what limitation you are running into.

I'll get back to you with a fiddle, but to be more clear, imagine showing details, in a popup, of an item that is in a foreach list.

That should be possible I would suggest using something like foreach: {data: items, as: 'item'} in your loop. I created this fiddle to demonstrate http://jsfiddle.net/K4uMh/ let me know if I am missing something.

Man that's great - I didn't know about "as". Thanks!
