To use the router, you should add an activate function to your shell and return the result from that. The application startup infrastructure of Durandal will detect your shell's activate function and call it at the appropriate time, waiting for it's promise to resolve. This allows Durandal to properly orchestrate the timing of composition and databinding along with animations and splash screen display.
