This little module is used to load knockout templates from the server.

It has dependencies on the require plugin text, knockout.js and the stringTemplateEngine by Ryan Niemeyer.

Basically it is used to get a template and add it to knockout.

It is used something like the following:

define("MenuModule", ["Core", "knockout", "loadKoTemplate!./menuTemplates/menuItem.html"], function (core, knockout, template) {
   
   core.register("MenuModule", function (sandbox) {
      var ko = sandbox.getObservable(),
      viewModel = {
         templateName: "menuItem-html",
         menuItemArray: ko.observableArray()
      };

      return {
         activate: function () {
            sandbox.bind(viewModel);
            viewModel.menuItemArray.push({
               name: "Item One"
            });
            viewModel.menuItemArray.push({
               name: "Item Two"
            });
            viewModel.menuItemArray.push({
               name: "Item Three"
            });
         },
         destroy: function () {
            sandbox.unbind();
         }
      };
   });
});

You can also override the default template name that is used:

define("MenuModule", ["Core", "knockout", "loadKoTemplate!./menuTemplates/menuItem.html!myCustomName"], function (core, knockout, template) {
   
   core.register("MenuModule", function (sandbox) {
      var ko = sandbox.getObservable(),
      viewModel = {
         templateName: "myCustomName",
         menuItemArray: ko.observableArray()
      };

      return {
         activate: function () {
            sandbox.bind(viewModel);
            viewModel.menuItemArray.push({
               name: "Item One"
            });
            viewModel.menuItemArray.push({
               name: "Item Two"
            });
            viewModel.menuItemArray.push({
               name: "Item Three"
            });
         },
         destroy: function () {
            sandbox.unbind();
         }
      };
   });
});
