Durandal 2.1 - accessing view from viewmodel?

Question

I have the following in my viewmodel:

 dialog.getContext().reposition(vm);

But it's not working, because I'm supposed to be passing the view, not the viewmodel. How can I - from within a viewmodel - get access to its corresponding view?

Answer 1

To Access the view from your viewModel You have detached,compositionComplete, attached, and compositionComplete handlers to choose from.

For example from attached:

function attached(view, parent) {
   console.log("This is the current view",view);//this will log the view HTML
  $(view).find(".smallLoader").fadeOut();// Now fadeOut .smallLoader from this view
}

var viewModel = {
    activate: activate,
    title: 'Home',
    attached: attached
};

return viewModel;
