This example demonstrates passing a single option to bind data against the Grid widget.

<div data-bind="kendoGrid: items"> </div>

var ViewModel = function() {
    this.items = ko.observableArray([
        { id: "1", name: "apple"},
        { id: "2", name: "orange"},
        { id: "3", name: "banana"}
    ]);
};

                            ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel());

This example demonstrates passing additional options in the data-bind attribute with data now being explicitly specified. The Add Item button updates the underlying data and shows that the Grid remains in sync.

<div data-bind="kendoGrid: { data: items, groupable: true, scrollable: true, sortable: true, pageable: { pageSize: 10 } }"> </div>
<button data-bind="click: addItem">Add Item</button>

var ViewModel = function() {
    this.items = ko.observableArray([
        { id: "1", name: "apple"},
        { id: "2", name: "orange"},
        { id: "3", name: "banana"}
    ]);

    this.addItem = function() {
        var num = this.items().length + 1;
        this.items.push({ id: num, name: "new" + num});
    };
};

                            ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel());

This example demonstrates using Knockout templates for grid rows and alternate rows.

<div data-bind="kendoGrid: { data: items, rowTemplate: 'rowTmpl', altRowTemplate: 'altTmpl', useKOTemplates: true }"> </div>
<button data-bind="click: addItem">Add Item</button>
<script id="rowTmpl" type="text/html">
    <tr>
        <td data-bind="text: id"></td>
        <td>
            <input data-bind="value: name" />
        </td>
        <td>
            <a href="#" data-bind="click: $root.removeItem">x</a>
        </td>
    </tr>
</script>
<script id="altTmpl" type="text/html">
    <tr>
        <td>Alt Row</td>
        <td data-bind="text: name"></td>
        <td>
            <a href="#" data-bind="click: $root.removeItem">x</a>
        </td>
    </tr>
</script>

var ViewModel = function() {
    this.items = ko.observableArray([
        { id: "1", name: ko.observable("apple")},
        { id: "2", name: ko.observable("orange")},
        { id: "3", name: ko.observable("banana")}
    ]);

    this.addItem = function() {
        var num = this.items().length + 1;
        this.items.push({ id: num, name: "new" + num});
    };

    this.removeItem = function(item) {
        this.items.remove(item);
    }.bind(this);
};

                            ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel());

This example demonstrates setting global options in ko.bindingHandlers.kendoGrid.options. This helps to simplify the markup for settings that can be used as a default for all instances of this widget.

<div data-bind="kendoGrid: items"> </div>
<button data-bind="click: addItem">Add Item</button>

var ViewModel = function() {
    this.items = ko.observableArray([
        { id: "1", name: "apple"},
        { id: "2", name: "orange"},
        { id: "3", name: "banana"}
    ]);

    this.addItem = function() {
        var num = this.items().length + 1;
        this.items.push({ id: num, name: "new" + num});
    };
    
    ko.bindingHandlers.kendoGrid.options = {
        groupable: true,
        scrollable: true,
        sortable: true,
        pageable: true
    };
};

                            ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel());
