Checkbox validation on select

I have the following:

                    <tbody data-bind="foreach: { data: MenuItems, as: 'tableitem' }">
                    <tr>
                        <td data-bind="html: tableitem.label"></td>
                        <td>
                            <select class="form-control" data-bind="options: $root.GroupedScorecardTypes,
                        optionsText: 'Name', optionsValue: 'Id', value: tableitem.clean"></select>
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <select class="form-control" data-bind="options: $root.GroupedScorecardTypes,
                        optionsText: 'Name', optionsValue: 'Id', value: tableitem.copy"></select>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </tbody>

Which displays the following: FrontEnd Table There are three options on the drop downs for each of them. They are : All data,Target Data and Ignore . Now when a user clicks on either All data or Target Data on the populate target column, the Clean target column for that row should change to Target Data. I tried the following but it didnt seem to work:

        self.MenuItems().forEach(function(data){
            
            if (data.copy == 2 || data.copy == 1){
                data.clean == 2
            }
            console.table(data);
        });

I need it to change instantly, any idea how i can do this? My data looks like this:

            var data = unique.map(function (item) {
            return {
                'label': item,
                'clean': DefaultItem,
                'copy': DefaultItem
            };
        });
            if (self.isSaved !== 1) {
            self.MenuItems(data);  

        }
Solution

  • I think you can take advantage of subscribing to an observable. something like the following.

    var serverData = [{
  label: 'test1',
  clean: null,
  copy: null
},{
  label: 'test2',
  clean: null,
  copy: null
},{
  label: 'test3',
  clean: null,
  copy: null
}];


function MenuItem(data) {
  var self = this;
  self.label = ko.observable(data.label || '');
  self.clean = ko.observable(data.clean || null);
  self.copy = ko.observable(data.copy || null);

  var subscription = self.copy.subscribe(function(newValue) {
    self.clean(newValue);
  });
  
  self.disposeSubscription = function dispose(){
    subscription.dispose();
  }
}

function ViewModel() {
  var self = this;
  self.MenuItems = ko.observableArray();

  self.GroupedScorecardTypes = ko.observableArray([{
      Id: 1,
      Name: 'Ignore'
    },
    {
      Id: 2,
      Name: 'Target Data'
    },
    {
      Id: 3,
      Name: 'All Data'
    },
  ]);
  
  var mappedData = serverData.map(x => new MenuItem(x));
  self.MenuItems(mappedData);
  
}

ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel());
