It can be sometimes painfull to have to deal with type conversion with knockout. For example, it is sometimes impossible to use the ko.mapping plugin on some viewmodels, because you want to pass the result to an AJAX call, and you need to make sure some properties are converted to the right type before being serialized as JSON. This plugin makes it easy to make some observables type-safe, and also allows you to easily wrap converter observables around your type-safe observables.
Getting Started
//enforce an observable's value type to [moment](http://momentjs.com/) objectsvar value = ko;; // value() will return yesterday's date; // throws a TypeError exception //create a string converter bound to the type-safe observable, formatting with LT (local time).//No need to specify the source type; it is detected from the type-safe observable.var converted = value;; // returns current time as a string //read converted value;; // returns current time plus one hour as a string //write converted value; // update is not propagated, because "test" is invalid; // value() returns today at 3:05 AM, as a moment objectCheck the wiki for more.
