One of the challenges I encountered was using a foreach statement along with afterRender to trigger a specific function.
<div data-bind="foreach: { data: Object.keys(pricings()), as: '_propkey', afterRender: pricingTableRenderedHandler }">
Initially, _propkey was just a single string in each iteration. However, I later had to modify the foreach statement to this:
<div data-bind="foreach: { data: pricings(), as: '_propertykey', afterRender: pricingTableRenderedHandler}">
<div data-bind="foreach: { data: _propertykey.states, as: '_secondarypropkey'}">
The handler function looked like this:
self.pricingTableRenderedHandler = function (data, stateName) {
var tableSelector = "#" + stateName.states.state.replace(/\s/g, '');
hideEmptyTableColumns.hide(tableSelector);
replaceEmptyTableCells.replaceBy(self.emptyCellValue, tableSelector);
}
With the old foreach setup, the stateName parameter would receive a string value. After the update, it began receiving an object structure like this:
[
"cropYear" : "2020",
"states": [
{
"state": "Tbilisi",
"details": {
"PriceHeaders": [],
"Comment": "TBi",
"Pricings": []
}
},
{
"state": "Texas",
"details": {
"PriceHeaders": [],
"Comment": "dasdsa",
"Pricings": []
}
}
]
I realized that I only needed the value of the "state" property. Despite attempting to call the handler function within the inner foreach loop, it did not execute properly unless specified within the initial foreach statement.
