To implement a TypeScript class with a property as a class in Knockout.js, you can follow these steps:

  1. Define your TypeScript class with the necessary properties and methods. For example:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
class Person {
    name: KnockoutObservable<string>;
    age: KnockoutObservable<number>;

    constructor(name: string, age: number) {
        this.name = ko.observable(name);
        this.age = ko.observable(age);
    }
}


  1. Create an instance of the class in your ViewModel and bind it using Knockout.js. For example:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
class ViewModel {
    person: Person;

    constructor() {
        this.person = new Person("John Doe", 30);
        ko.applyBindings(this);
    }
}


  1. In your HTML markup, use the Knockout bindings to display and interact with the properties of the class instance. For example:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14

    <h1>Hello, <span data-bind="text: person.name"></span>!</h1>
    <p>You are <span data-bind="text: person.age"></span> years old.</p>

Make sure to compile your TypeScript code to JavaScript before running it in the browser. You can do this with a TypeScript compiler like tsc, or by setting up a build process in your IDE or build tool.
