A HowTo question: I have a view that I want to be reusable – selectCustomer. when i call router.navigateTo(‘selectCustomer’)

what is a good way to supply a callback, to be used in selectCustomer, to be called when the customer is selected.

Currently I have an appNavigation service to set a selectCustomer Callback property and then navigate to it, but its kind of global so no stack (the viewModels are all singletons) … a bit cludgy. I would rather call:

router.navigateTo(‘selectCustomer’, new selectCustomerVm(callback))

note i am a js noob, so I dont actually know how to expose the selectCustomerVm class and get a new instance with the require injection mechanism

Rody – Without named modules using AMD, it doesnt work well in VS. I use Resharper and it helps greatly.

John, in your pluralsight video it seems you have intellisense using durandal. But I’m not sure, because it shows really fast. When I use the HotTowel template in my own project, I don’t get the correct intellisense from modules I load in using durandal.

Is this resharper working? Or do you have specific settings to get this working?

Andre – I have not tested Kendo’s MVVM pattern with Hot Towel. But it could certainly work.

I started to follow the videos on `pluralsight` about this template. But I have already a question: Can I use Kendo UI MVVM pattern to do the bindings instead of using knockout? Or need I to use knockout with this kind of template? Sorry if this is a basic question, but I’m starting now in the web development.

Thanks in advance!

CB – Thanks for the feedback. I am glad you are enjoying the course. The example code is available with a Pluralsight Plus subscription.

Hi,
I’m enjoying your SPA pluralsight course… Well, I was, right up to the part after installing the entityframework.sqlservercompact and you say, “Now, we go to our fragments folder and bring in….”
Where the heck is the “code/fragments” folder? You never say in the video!
Thanks for any pointers…

Fred – I haven’t taken the exact HotTowel stack to phonegap yet. But the concepts should translate well. Sounds like a great idea for a new course

John, Thanks for this great framework.
one of my clients requires an app to run on iPad and the web, but when running on the iPad we require offline data. I plan to use phonegap, is hottowel the best framework to do it in ?

TIA
Fred
