Can I pass a variable in a template binding?

I know this isn't a good method to use long term, but for troubleshooting, is there any way I can pass a simple string while binding a template and then access it as a variable within the template? For instance, if this was my binding:

<!-- ko template: { name: tmplOne }, myvar: 'apple' -->

and this was tmplOne:

<div>
    <span>Fruit: </span>
    <span data-bind="text: myvar"></span>
</div>

It would result in the folowing:

fruit: apple

Even if I have to declare an observable in the viewmodel called "fruit", can I manually set it at template binding?

Solution

  • Use

    <!-- ko template: { name: tmplOne, templateOptions: {myvar: 'apple'} } -->
