Knockoutjs track changes after ajax call

See JsFiddle here http://jsfiddle.net/WtgbV/2/

In words: I have some ajax call, and in the server's response I get some array of items (Items in knockout viewmodel)

I need to know that property name was changed in element with id==2 etc to save changes automatically on server (via POST request)

What is the simplest/easiest way to track changes in each element in Items array?

I co-wrote a component called DirtyFlag that detects changes in Knockout observables (or a set of them). You can grab in from my library called KoLite that you can grab off NuGet or GitHub.

https://nuget.org/packages/KoLite

dirtyFlag

// Your model
var Person = function () {
    var self = this;
    self.id = ko.observable();
    self.firstName = ko.observable().extend({ required: true });
    self.lastName = ko.observable().extend({ required: true });
    self.dirtyFlag = new ko.DirtyFlag([self.firstName,self.lastName]);
    return self;
};

Hook these into your viewmodel to detect if there were changes ...

//Property on your view model. myPerson is an instance of Person.
//Did it Change?
isDirty = ko.computed(function () {
    return myPerson().dirtyFlag().isDirty();
}),

Then to resync the changes ...

//Resync Changes
dirtyFlag().reset();
