This part of code is not in checkout step but there is in product details page, so i've tried to use checkout config provider but it only run in checkout step so it didn't work for my case.

Do anyone know how to add a block in knockout html other than using check config provider?

Answer 1

Well, I spent a lot of hours looking at how templates and other stuff are related with knockout.js, I will try to explain how to subtotal price format is displayed to order summary at checkout module but is the same to other things too. My current version is Magento ver. 2.0.4.

First, if you navigate to the corresponding layout file for checkout at

vendor/magento/module-checkout/view/frontend/layout/checkout_index_index.xml
