Readme
###ko-templated is a binding for knockout.
##Description
Allows asynchronous loading of templates.
Uses jQuery for template loading.
The main idea is to use view model's or sub model's constructor name as name of template.
Binding encourages using of new for constructing view models or sub models.
So when you try to use it on plain javascript object it will load "Object.tmpl".
You may override naming convention by defining templateName property in object.
It may also be observable.
By default binding loads template from 'templates' sub directory.
You may override it with templatePath property, String or observable.
##Code
Here is sample code in viewModel.js:
function SubModel(){
this.anotherField = ko.observable('World !')
}
function ViewModel(){
this.someField = ko.observable('Hello ');
this.someSubModel = new SubModel();
}
ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel());##Markup Sample markup in main file:
