Change template?

[JohnVS]

Let's say I have a DataSource of products. By default, we display the products in a list form, and that template is called "list-template". 

<tbody data-template="list-template" data-bind="source: products"></tbody>

What if we want to allow the user to see the same products but in grid form (e.g. "grid-template")? Can we change the data-template after the fact to do this?

Hello John,

changing the template reference is not supported for a given element. You may however use if/else constructs in the template based on a global flag, change that flag and re-render the element to achieve something similar.

Alternatively, you may have two elements bound to the same source and show/hide one of them.
