I’m trying to use the index of the current item in a loop to grab a value from a parent object, I’m only able to get the data if I put the number directly in. However, I need to use the index instead.
So Parent object contains Library, Books and Book prices
<!-- ko foreach: value().Library -->
<ul>
<li>
<div>
<h3 data-bind="text: Name + ' - ' + Description"></h3>
</div>
<!-- ko if: $parent.value().BookPrices.length > 0 -->
<div>
<span data-bind="text: $parent.value().BookPrices[1].Dollars"></span>
</div>
<!-- /ko -->
</li>
</ul>
<!-- /ko -->
Any ideas/suggestions how I can use the index or even the ID attribute of the current item in the loop to get the value Dollars using [ ] would be appreciated.

Something like this?
function ViewModel() {
var self = this;
self.value = ko.observable({
Library: [{
Id: 1,
Name: 'Test 1',
Description: 'Test 1 Description'
},
{
Id: 2,
Name: 'Test 2',
Description: 'Test 2 Description'
},
{
Id: 3,
Name: 'Test 3',
Description: 'Test 3 Description'
}
],
BookPrices: [{
Id: 1,
Dollars: 5.99
}, {
Id: 2,
Dollars: 9.99
}, {
Id: 3,
Dollars: 15.99
}]
})
self.getBookPrice = function(item){
var result = self.value().BookPrices.filter(x=>x.Id == item.Id);
return result.length === 0 ? 0.00 : result[0].Dollars;
}
}
