Declare all children in the file list.html

<!– ko foreach: elems() –>

<!– ko template: getTemplate() –><!– /ko –>

<!– /ko –>

Or do for “child a” and “child b” separately as the following:

  • Declare the “child a” in the file list.html via the code snippet:
<div data-bind="scope: requestChild('child_a')">

  <!-- ko template: getTemplate() --><!-- /ko -->

</div>
  • Then, declare the “child b” via displayArea in the file list.html by the command below:
<!– ko foreach: getRegion(‘child_b’) –>
<!– ko template: getTemplate() –><!– /ko –>
<!– /ko –>
