KnockoutJS observable value isn't set by select


I'm currently working on a webapp using knockoutJS + Durandal with a JEE backend but my problem is that I have the feeling that my observable aren't set when I change my select...

so I have this select for the index.html

    <label for="language" class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3 control-label no-padding-left no-padding-right"></span>
        Language selection:</label>
    <div class="col-sm-9">
        <select id="language"
                data-bind="options: possibleLanguage, optionsText: 'text', optionsValue: 'key', value: selectedLanguage"
                class="col-xs-12 col-sm-5"/>
        <span class="text-muted hidden-xs col-sm-12 no-padding-left">Select the language used to display the interaction.</span>
    </div>

and in my index.js

define(
    [
        'jquery',
        'underscore',
        'knockout',
        'services/dataservice',
        'jquery-ui',

            }
            ;

        return {

            //variable
            possibleInterventionClasses: possibleInterventionClasses,
            selectedInterventationClass: selectedInterventationClass,
            possibleLanguage: possibleLanguage,
            selectedLanguage: selectedLanguage,
            possibleCnksToTest: possibleCnksToTest,
            selectedCnksToTest: selectedCnksToTest,
            tokenValue: tokenValue,
            resultRequest: resultRequest,
            isAccessGranted: isAccessGranted,
            //function
            languageHasChanged:languageHasChanged,

            //lifecycle
            activate: activate,
            compositionComplete: compositionComplete,
            deactivate: deactivate
        };
    });

For the record, as you can see I have a subscribe on my tokenValue observable this one works and is set like following in the html

 <label for="token" class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3 control-label no-padding-left no-padding-right"></span>
                Token:</label>
            <div class="col-sm-9">
                <input id="token" type="text" data-bind="value: tokenValue, valueUpdate: 'keyup'"
                       class="col-xs-12 col-sm-5 margin-top-5"/>
                <span class="text-muted hidden-xs col-sm-12 no-padding-left">Insert the token used for authentication.</span>
            </div>

I'm sure at 99% that the value of selectedLanguage isn't set when I select something else because I added event:{ change: languageHasChanged} inside the html data-binding and toaster which should append the value of the observable appeared but was empty.

I can find a workaround using some good old jQuery but I would be grateful if you could help me getting those subscribe to work !

Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • your are passing

    optionsValue: 'key',
    

    in data binding where passing 'value' on array

    possibleLanguage.push({value: "F", text: "French"});
