Dynamic name for dragzone

[saliljnr]

Am a newbie to knockout and so maybe this is a thing anyone should know but is there a way to set a dynamic name for dragzone? for instance can I bind dragzone to an observable? It seems one can only have a static name there which limits ko-dragdrop for dynamic use...

Well, I figured out where the issue is. I was binding to the id value of an object which was flagged as NOT being a string hence throwing the error "A drag zone must specify a name"... Currently am using this hack.... Maybe not good but works for now.. better suggestions? Is there a way to bind the 'name' option to a function for even more complex dynamic name generation?

var name = options.name; console.log('checking-----------------1' + name); // prints out 1 (initially flagged as not being string) name = String(name); // cast value to string var dragDistance = typeof options.dragDistance === 'number' ? options.dragDistance : 10; dropZones[name] = dropZones[name] || []; eventZones[name] = eventZones[name] || []; if (!name || typeof name !== 'string') { // crisis evaded :8ball: throw new Error('A drag zone must specify a name'); }
