Find by ID in KnockOutJS
knockout.js
Solution
return ko.utils.arrayFirst(self.children(), function(child) {
return child.id === id;
});
Just remember to use `self.children()` to get to the underlying array.
Problem
Given the following, how do I get id 10 back out? ``` function ChildListViewModel() { var self = this; self.children = ko.observableArray([]); self.children.push({id:20,name:"Jake"}); self.children.push({id:10,name:"Jake"}); self.find = function(id) { console.log(self.children().length); setTimeout(function(){console.log(self.children().length);}, 500); found = ko.utils.arrayFirst(self.children(), function(child) { return child.id() === id; }); console.log(found); return found; } } ``` I want to do something like ``` ChildVM.find(10); ``` All attempts using `ko.utils.arrayFirst` and `ko.utils.arrayForEach` have failed me. EDIT This now works, see selected answers. Issues around loading order and AJAX meant this was not working as it should do.
