durandal-2.0

Let's say I have the following durandal code: define(['durandal/app', 'plugins/http'], function (app) { var vm = function(){ var self = this; self.myData = ko.observableArray([]); } }; vm.activate = function() { this.myData([]); }; vm.deactivate = function(){ }; return vm; }; I know by returning a constructor function, every time the view model is activated, it will return a new instance. My question is: is there anyway that when I access, if there's myData() from previous access, then I don't want to set this.myData([]); but to use the previous myData() ? I know by returning a singleton

In a single page app built using Durandal, I have a settings view, with different sections. I use a childRouter to resolve the different sections. In this application, a lot of code hooks into the composition lifecycle events that Durandal uses. For example, this custom binding: ko.bindingHandlers.autoFocus = { init: function (element) { var $element = $(element), setFocus = function () { $element.focus(); }; router.on('router:navigation:composition-complete', setFocus); ko.utils.domNodeDisposal.addDisposeCallback(element, function () { router.off('router:navigation:composition-complete',

I wish to make a Durandal custom dialog that adds a window frame with title and footer around an existing composable viewmodel. I have made a customModal.html template <div class="messageBox"> <div class="modal-header"> <h3 data-bind="text: title"></h3> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <!--ko compose: { model: model, template: view }--> <!--/ko--> </div> <div class="modal-footer" data-bind="foreach: options"> <button class="btn" data-bind="click: function () { $parent.selectOption($data); }, text: $data, css: { 'btn-primary': $index() == 0, autofocus: $index() == 0 }"></button> </div> </div> As

I can easily show a loading message while the activate method is doing its thing like so: <div data-bind="compose:ActiveVm"> <div class="text-center" style="margin : 75px"> <i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i> </div> </div> However if I then update my ActiveVm property with a different viewmodel, the splash content does not show. I understand that the splash content is only designed to show on 'initial' load, but what options do I have for displaying such a message when transitioning from one viewmodel to another? Note that this composition does not participate in routing... Update: Related
