Filters with custom bindings

[alexswan10k]

So I know I can do:

<span data-bind="text: name | fit:20 | uppercase"></span>

but what I really want to do is:

<div data-bind="someCustomBinding: data | transform | transform2:param"></div>

where data is an array of a known thing, or other complex object. It looks like currently the punches syntax is only supported for text and css.

Is this possible?

As described in the documentation, you'd use ko.punches.textFilter.enableForBinding('someCustomBinding') or ko.punches.textFilter.enableForBinding(ko.bindingHandlers.someCustomBinding).

Thanks, I went over this a few times and it didn't occur to me it was what i wanted. Apologies. I think I dismissed it because applying a function off a binding that is totally unrelated to the binding I wished to target seemed counter intuitive.

Are you saying that the documentation is confusing or the API? Can you elaborate?

[alexswan10k]

The API.

I am using ko.bindings.someCustomBinding with the filter ko.punches.someCustomFilter, and it seems a little odd that i would have to go through ko.punches.textFilter (totally unrelated filter) to hook this binding up.

I understand there are perhaps implementation reasons for this, but I guess I would have expected something closer to ko.punches.enableForBinding(binding)?

Thanks for the extra details. I'll see if I can make the documentation more clear.

Much appreciated. Thanks.
