knockout.js - Access knockout binding from child element -

lets have this:

<div data-bind="enable: false">     <div data-bind="somecustombinding: myvalue"></div> </div> 

is possible me access 'enable' binding of parent container within custom binding?

== clarification: ==

in custom binding can gain access current binding value valueassessor. can gain access other bindings through allbindings , values on different related contexts via bindingcontext.

i wondering if access binding of parent html element within custom binding (in similar way valueaccessor)

something (sudo code):

ko.bindinghandlers.somecustombinding= {     init: (element, valueaccessor, allbindings) =>     {         var parentisenabled =               ko.getcontextfor($(element).parent()).get('enable');     } } 

you access parent node , parse data-bind attribute:

json.parse('{' + $(element).parent().data("bind") + '}') 

be careful put double quote (") in binding definition, in following jsfiddle

sadly can't find more elegant way it.

ko lets access viewmodel of dom element using datafor/contextfor, don't see method binding definition of dom element.

edit: after further investigation, can access parents binding following:

ko.bindingprovider.instance.getbindings($(element).parent().get(0), bindingcontext) 

it return object bindings. example if declare data-bind="style: { backgroundcolor: mybackgroundcolor }" able access observable through ko.bindingprovider.instance.getbindings($(element).parent().get(0), bindingcontext).style.backgroundcolor

the problem can not observable name within viewmodel (or @ least don't know how, except if compare each property viewmodel idiom comparing knockout observables)
