Durelia

A simple Durandal (AMD) VM Wrapper for the Aurelia Framework

Installation

1. Open up your terminal and go into your projects root
2. Type following command:

jspm install github:zewa666/durelia

3. Copy a DurandalVM into your Project (e.g. root/amd/testmodule.js)
4. Create a new AureliaVM inside src (e.g. src/testmodule.js)
5. (Optional) Create a View for your new VM (e.g. src/testmodule.html)
6. Add this code into your AureliaVM:

// Importing Durelia's wrapper
import {Wrapper} from 'durelia';

// create a local instance of your DurandalVM
let VM = new Wrapper('../amd/testmodule');

// export as function so router nows how to use your VM
export let TestModule = () => { return VM; };

You can pass a second argument to Wrapper which is the path to the View you'd like to leverage. If none is provided, following Aurelia's convention, a View with the same name as the module will be taken.

Knockout support

The updated version provides support for Knockout. If your Durandal VMs contain references to Knockout (take a look at the unit test stub), you have to do one additional step.

1. Open the file config.js of your project
2. In the System.config.paths section add this line at the end:

"knockout": "jspm_packages/github/zewa666/durelia@master/test/knockout.js"

so it looks like:

System.config({
  "paths": {
    "*": "*.js",
    "github:*": "jspm_packages/github/*.js",
    "npm:*": "jspm_packages/npm/*.js",
    ...
    "knockout": "jspm_packages/github/zewa666/durelia@master/test/knockout.js"
  }
});

This will add a Polyfill for Knockout, which translates Observables and ObservableArray back to the original value.
