Chapter 5. The Joy of Templates

A quick walk through history tells the story of how server-side code turned templates into magic. Data mixed with these templates and returned meaningful HTML for the client. These templates dynamically adapted to produce flexible and functional custom HTML pages. Along came AJAX and robbed the developer of this powerful approach to coding. But wait, templates are back again! Now they run at the client side. This chapter will teach you how to create the magic at the client side with Knockout. In this chapter, we will focus on:

Native templates
Enhanced collection handling
Render events
Third-party templates
Awesome template options

Knockout is not just about two-way binding. Done right, it is about more elegant and sustainable code. We will learn how to come around for another layer of making our page creation simpler as we learn to use the power of templating in KnockoutJS.
