IT:AD:Durandal.JS:HowTo:Conditional Anchor CLicks

Summary

As per good UX design patterns, Buttons are good for Primary Actions. Anchors are better for Secondary Actions.

If the Action is a Conditional Navigation, you need to perform logic before navigating to a destination, or cancelling the navigation and showing an error message.

Process

<a data-bind="click: goToMyLink">Go</a>


goToMyLink: function() {
     //decide what to do...then:
    location.assign('myLink.php'):
}
