binding as virtual element

[kirtapatrik]

How is it possible, to use the binding as a virtual element?

[mbest]

It's not possible currently. What's your use-case?

[kirtapatrik]

I generate n <td> depends on a variable count. Actually i create them with a dummy array with length n and a virtual foreach. But this is not really fast.

So why can't you use an element for the repeat?

[kirtapatrik]

Because the repetition is in the middle of the table. <tr><td>fix</td><td>fix</td> repetition--> <td>n</td> <td>fix</td></tr>

[mbest]

You should be able to do this: <tr><td>fix</td><td>fix</td><td data-bind="repeat: n">n</td><td>fix</td></tr>

I ran into this same issue but I also need to set the id of the td. I tried:

<td  data-bind="repeat:{foreach:$root.titlePlant.displayDefinition().sourcesToProcess[$data.SearchableIndexDisplayFieldID],item: '$field'},attr:{'class':'MemberField Field' + $field().SearchableIndexFieldID + ' FieldSource' + $field().SearchableIndexDisplayFieldSourceID}">

I got $field doesn't exist. With a virtual binding I could get a ref to each item and set the id.

repeat should generally be the only binding in data-bind. The bindings for each repeated item should be in data-repeat-bind.

<td 
  data-bind="repeat:{foreach:$root.titlePlant.displayDefinition().sourcesToProcess[$data.SearchableIndexDisplayFieldID], item:'$field'}" 
  data-repeat-bind="attr:{'class':'MemberField Field' + $field().SearchableIndexFieldID + ' FieldSource' + $field().SearchableIndexDisplayFieldSourceID}">
