KnockoutJS ObservableArray data grouping

Question

Does KnockoutJS have a feature whereas I could take something like:

    var myArray = ko.observableArray([
      { name: \"Jimmy\", type: \"Friend\" },
              


        

Answer 1

I have simplified RP Niemeyer's version in jsfiddle to do the same without using the distinct function. Please refer here: jsfiddle

var Person = function(name, type) {
   this.name = ko.observable(name);
   this.type = ko.observable(type);    
}

var ViewModel = function() {
    var self = this; 
    this.choices = ["Friend", "Enemy", "Other" ];
    this.people = ko.observableArray([
           new Person("Jimmy", "Friend"),
           new Person("George", "Friend"),
           new Person("Zippy", "Enemy")
    ]);

    this.addPerson = function() {
        self.people.push(new Person("new", "Other"));
    };

    this.removePerson = function(person) {
      self.people.remove(person);  
    };
};


ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel());

Thanks Niemeyer.
