Bootstrap datepicker with knockout.js databind

Question

This question is similar to knockoutjs databind with jquery-ui datepicker, but instead of the jQueryUI datepicker, I would like to use one of the Bootstrap datepickers.

Answer 1

Here is what I Ended up

ko.bindingHandlers.datepicker = {
init: function (element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor) {
    //initialize datepicker with some optional options

    var options = {
        autoclose: true,
        format: 'yyyy-mm-dd',
    }

    //var options = allBindingsAccessor().datepickerOptions || {};
    $(element).datepicker(options);

    //when a user changes the date, update the view model
    ko.utils.registerEventHandler(element, "changeDate", function (event) {
        var value = valueAccessor();

        if (ko.isObservable(value)) {
            var myDate = event.date;
            var month = myDate.getMonth() + 1;
            var monthText = month;

            if (month < 10)
                monthText = "0" + month;

            var day1 = parseInt(myDate.getDate());
            var dayText = day1;

            if (day1 < 10)
                dayText = '0' + day1;

            value(myDate.getFullYear() + '-' + monthText + '-' + dayText);
        }
    });
},
update: function (element, valueAccessor) {

    var widget = $(element).data("datepicker");
    //when the view model is updated, update the widget
    if (widget) {
        widget.date = ko.utils.unwrapObservable(valueAccessor());
        widget.setValue(widget.date);
    }
}};
