All the examples at ko.js site are build manually and models and views are handcrafted.
What if I want to use ko.js on site that doesn't create data-binding attributes in the backend? Is it possible to apply bindings dynamically in document?
Otherwise it seems like ko.js would support only custom projects and not e.g. CMS sites such as WordPress or Drupal (without extensive customization).
Say I have a nice form rendered from CMS that I would like to use together with ko.js to provide functionality. How do I add ko.js to it?
From what I can ascertain from your description, I don't think knockout or indeed any MVVM binding framework is correct for you. It would be good to understand more about what you are trying to do, with some sample code, before we help any further.
The samples over at knockout's page are a little simple, you may want to check out http://www.scottlogic.com/blog/2014/07/30/spa-angular-knockout.html for a more in-depth article with code.

I have a project handling in which already built most of its features and uses laravel and knockout js. But I want to use Vuejs on this one because I dont know yet about knockout and I like vuejs. My concern is, is it possible that I can use both witout conflicting, or im thinking to use vue for specific part of the applicaiton like, live web alerts.
please let me know the pros and cons about this, thank you.
I'm thinking about making a sort of admin panel in angularjs. I need a way to edit the content of the site, like e.g. Wordpress offers (basically a CMS).
The confusing bit is how the CMS and Angular would integrate together
In other CMSs, the creation of the views happens on the server side. In Angular we creare a HTML template, which you can populate with data in an angular controller.
I am a bit stuck as to how to define templates and then on click position the templates accordingly..
Please suggest a way to help achieve this
Althought you seem to have an understanding how Angular works, some fundamental information is missing in your question. I guess you want to persist the content of the CMS, so you have to provide some details about the server part (I don't think you are going to use clientside storage solutions).
Additionally your question how to position templates is a bit confusing. Typically you are not dynamically positioning templates. Rather you have a template and position some elements inside of the templates. You should concretise your problem here.
Maybe you want to use some existing CMS solutions based on Angular like:

feel like this is kind of weird question but still,
I want to create studio where people can create cards using different kind of contents, like Text, Images, Video, Audio, Links etc. and save them, so that I should be able to render them as they designed through some other view.
I am planning to built it with ReactJS Framework. I am new bee to ReactJS, just went through TODO tutorials. And done some work around to understand Drag and Drop features with ReactJS.
But I am still confused about How and Where to begin coding for my requirement. What should be the structure of my application. What all properties each components should have, totally got blocked.
I am not asking here exactly to give the structure for my application, I am looking for some resources/documents where it explains how to structure application for these kind of requirements.
Something like beefree.io is what I want to build.
Many Many Thanks for all your feedback.
I very recommend TinyMCE editor: https://www.tinymce.com/download/. This editor has a lot of features. I can also recommend http://hammerjs.github.io/, https://github.com/yabwe/medium-editor and http://premiumsoftware.net/cleditor/.
If you want to create standalone HTML5 editor, you should research GitHub sources of recommended editors and learn mainly jQuery and AngularJS.
Instructions how to create from basics HTML5 editor:

I recommend trying out Unroll.io's react-email-editor: https://github.com/unroll-io/react-email-editor
It has a lot of features that you are looking for and is super easy to use in your web app. Also good documentation is available.
This React component is focused towards emails but if you plan to use it for HTML pages instead of emails, you can easily create a similar React component and change displayMode to web as per Unroll.io docs.
I have seen this being used in production on EmailMonster's email editor.
I saw a few blog articles saying that AngularJS and jQuery could be used together in one app. That seems good as jQuery has some functionalities Angular doesn't have and Angular allows us to make a greatly structured logic for a web app.
The fact is, as I'm french I also take a look at french blog articles about that, and french tends to say that we should never use jQuery and Angular together. I asked why on a forum and people said that it's probably because beginners usually use jQuery and Angular for the same things : adding elements dynamically, use ajax requests, etc... But I'd like to use jQuery for some things Angular does not do and to allow bootstrap js to work on my app.
What do you think, are jQuery and Angular bad at working together in one single app? Or does it just depend on how we make them work together?
AngularJS uses JQuery itself, the major reason not to mix and match is just what you described of them stepping on each other's toes.
While I was learning Angular a lot of the time I would end up using JQuery alongside it because I didn't understand Angular or know it's full capabilities. After learning it better my code has continuously less JQuery in it, but if I can't figure it out in angular, I'll make sure it works with JQuery until I can get it.
I guess it depends on what you're aiming for. If you want to develop an Angular app, then Angular already includes a version of jQuery called jQlite, but you can still use jQuery in your Angular app if you want to.
You can actually "wrap" jQuery code into custom Angular directives, which is pretty sweet.
In an Angular app it's safe to include jQuery if you want to implement some Bootstrap functionality. Currently, I'm doing that to implement Bootstrap's collapse component. I have only just begun developing in Angular, so I am not an expert as to all the ins-and-outs of using jQuery with Angular.
After reading some of the jQuery vs ext js questions here and google search result, my understanding is that ext js is a UI building library and jQuery is a more fundamental javascript framework. I've used jQuery for a while now. It's pretty cool but in general a better (much better) javascript.
So my question is: how easy is it to use jQuery for DOM navigation/manipulation and Ext.js for UI in the same project?
There is a page on jQuery website. But the demo is too simple and the external links to Ext.js are all dead.
I'm sure it's possible, but what sort of problems and challenges would I be facing?
You might be wondering why I want to do this. Well, the Ext.js set of UI just looks much better/more polished/more feature rich then jQuery UI. I'm particularly interested in the grid.
Thanks!
Using both libraries side by side is not an issue in the technical way (just add the jquery within a script-tag, that's it!). However, you should not use jQuery for ExtJS' stuff or vice versa. Well, unless you know exactly what you do.
The actual issue can be DOM manipulations (jQuery or ExtJS Core) outside of an ExtJS component that affect an existing component.
So, in a nutshell: You can use DOM manipulations when it will not affect the ExtJS components. Otherwise use the proper way within the component itself.
Well you dont need both the libraries to live together.. Extjs has DOM manipulation api too probably not as vast as jquery but it does have the basic stuff.
Coming to Jquery, jquery has UI building APIs too if not rolled into the library there are vast no of extensions for all kinds of problems. Just try googling whatever UI you are building now with respect to jquery and you will find a library for sure.. There is jquery templates too that lets you generate HTML markup from a template defined by you and applying data objects (json) to it.. Jquery has a vast community too so most of your questios or concerns will be addressed by the community almost instantly..
So yea my suggestion would be to choose one library and stick to it and contribute to the library if there are many missing features..
Lastly I would suggest you choose Jquery.. It rocks.. period..
I think you would have no problem do this stuff... Make Ext.js your main jQuery library and jQuery as the data manipulation library for the DOM.
There would be no problem or conflicts because jQuery is compatible with other javascript libraries.
