Use WinJS.Namespace.define asynchronously

Question

I am constructing WinJS classes based on a XSD, which happens asynchronously. Of course until the construction is complete no part of the app can use those classes. Is there a pattern that makes the other parts of the app wait until the classes are available?

Answer 1

From a general perspective there is a concept called promises which you can use in your app to perform certain activity when a previous activity completes. Are you looking for something else?

I am using promises. Just thought there is pattern in WinJS apps that make this even more easier.
