Whether you are using the Bootstrap datepicker with a JavaScript array or the jQuery datepicker, they both use the same underlying JavaScript library. So with today's example, let's explore implementing the jQuery library with an added bonus of creating a Knockout.js custom binding.
The end goal of this custom data bind jQuery tutorial is to create a form input field data bound not to the standard value binding, but instead to the custom one appropriately named: datepicker.
Having a user confirm a selection is a very common occurrence when an action is performed. In this Knockout js tutorial I'm going to demonstrate how to ask the user to confirm their choice. Only when the user has clicked OK will the observable value be changed. This example will leverage the ko.extender to create a custom Knockout extender.
