I am developing an mvc4 app with multiple spa's. I am using the hot towel template for my spa. What I want to do is have a anchor link within my views for a spa go to the index action for another controller, so my users can exit one spa and open another. Not all actions will start a spa some are regular mvc style pages. I have put code like like the following in my spa html pages: <a href="/controller/action">Navigate to another controller</a> This will change the url in the browser but always reloads the default html page for the spa. If I hit the refresh button in the browser then if will go

I work with ASP.NET MVC With Durandal/Breeze templates. Let's say I have the following class: public class Person { public int Id { get; set; } public string Firstname { get; set; } public string Lastname { get; set; } public virtual List<Person> Friends { get; set; } } With the following EF Fluent API: modelBuilder.Entity<Person>() .HasMany(m => m.Friends) .WithMany() .Map(m => m.ToTable("Friends")); The database is generated successfully. The problem is when I perform a que ry with Breeze (client side) I have no data for the Friends property. var query = entityQuery.from('Person') .where('id

Could someone explain why the transitions (at least the default one - entrance) are not starting right away when a user clicks on a link (navigate) with Durandal? In other words, do we need two mechanisms (loader animation + transition) to indicate that there is an action underway (ex. ajax call inside the activate method). I'm sure there's a good reason, or maybe I just have to modify the entrance transition? daedalus28 It seems like Durandal's transitions run once the activate function resolves. I asked a similar question where I enumerated some of the possible solutions that I found which

I am working hottowell template to create spa application and I am getting a nice error from jquery. Basically my problem start at the moment to try bind my view from viewModelBinder.js (from durandal library). viewModelBinder.beforeBind(obj, view); action(); viewModelBinder.afterBind(obj, view); at the moment to call beforeBind this code is executed (main.js of my own app) kendo.ns = "kendo-"; viewModelBinder.beforeBind = function (obj, view) { kendo.bind(view, obj.viewModel || obj); }; where kendo.bind is something like (kendo.web.js from kendo ui library): function bind(dom, object) { var

What I Have Trying to understand what's going on and how to control it. I have a "public" view for users that have not yet been authenticated, and a "home" view for users that are authenticated. Here's my route config: app.start().then(function() { //Replace 'viewmodels' in the moduleId with 'views' to locate the view. //Look for partial views in a 'views' folder in the root. viewLocator.useConvention(); //configure routing router.useConvention(); router.mapRoute('home', 'viewmodels/home', 'Test App', true); router.mapRoute('public', 'viewmodels/public', 'Test App', true); router.mapRoute('set

I have a SPA application (durandaljs), and I have a specific route where I map the "id" of the entity that I want to fetch. The template is "/#/todoDetail/:id". For example, "/#/todoDetail/232" or "/#/todoDetail/19". On the activate function of viewmodel, I get the route info so I can grab the id. Then I create a new instance of breezejs EntityManager to get the entity with the given id. The problem is when I call manager.fetchEntityByKey("Todos", id), the EntityManager doesn't have yet the metadata from the server, so it throwing exception "Unable to locate an 'Type' by the name: Todos". It

I am trying to figure out how to use a custom view location strategy, I have read the documentation at this page http://durandaljs.com/documentation/Using-Composition/ but I don't exactly understand what the strategy function should look like. Can anybody give me a quick example of what the implementation of this function would be like and the promise that returns (even a simple one) etc? Thanks in advance, Gary p.s. This is the code in my html: <div> <div data-bind="compose: {model: 'viewmodels/childRouter/first/simpleModel', strategy: 'viewmodels/childRouter/first/myCustomViewStrategy'}"><
