Use with knockout.js

ko.components.register('dashboard-grid', {
    viewModel: {
        createViewModel: function (params, componentInfo) {
            var ViewModel = function (params, componentInfo) {
                var grid = null;

                this.widgets = params.widgets;

                this.afterAddWidget = function (items) {
                    _.each(items, function (item) {
                        item = $(item);

                        if (grid == null) {
                            grid = $(componentInfo.element).find('.grid-stack').gridstack({
                                auto: false
                            }).data('gridstack');
                        }

                        grid.add_widget(item);
                        ko.utils.domNodeDisposal.addDisposeCallback(item[0], function () {
                            grid.remove_widget(item);
                        });
                    }, this);
                };

            };

            return new ViewModel(params, componentInfo);
        }
    },
    template: [
        '<div class="grid-stack">',
        '   <!-- ko foreach: widgets, afterRender: afterAddWidget -->',
        '       <div class="grid-stack-item" data-bind="attr: {',
        '           \'data-gs-x\': x,',
        '           \'data-gs-y\': y,',

        '       }">',
        '           <span data-bind="text: $index"></span>',
        '       </div>',
        '   <!-- /ko -->',
        '</div>'
    ].join('\n')
});
