In ‘nav.html’ is an example of how Knockout.js is leveraged
for rich model binding:
Hot Towel SPA
activate: activate,
title: ‘Home View’
};
return vm;
function activate() {
logger.log(‘Home View Activated’, null, ‘home’, true);
return true;
}
});
Services
All the application specific services are found in the
‘App/services’ folder. HotTowel comes standard with the
‘logger.js’ service responsible for logging messages and also
displaying it on the screen as toast notifications. The ‘services’
folder is the ideal place to put logic like data-retrieval for
instance.
Running the template
Out of the box, HotTowel is ready to run. Just hit F5 and you’ll

ViewModels
The application’s viewmodels are found in the ‘App/viewmodels’
folder. Inside the ‘shell.js’, ‘home.js’ and ‘details.js’ are
properties and functions bound to ‘shell.html’, ‘home.html’ and
‘details.html’ respectively. For example, let’s explore ‘home.html’:
And ‘home.js’:
define([‘services/logger’], function (logger) {
var vm = {
Hands on example
Let’s say you want to create a page called ‘Tweets’ that shows
the latest tweets from DotNetCurry.
Implement the service
We will need some kind of service that will be responsible
for retrieving tweets from Twitter, given a certain search term.
Right-click the ‘App/services’ folder and add a new JavaScript file
called ‘twitter.js’ with the following contents:
