###* Custom JavaScript ================= Every app needs a way to pair JavaScript snippets with certain HTML elements, in order to integrate libraries or implement custom behavior. Unpoly lets you organize your JavaScript snippets using [compilers](/up.compiler). For instance, to activate the [Masonry](http://masonry.desandro.com/) jQuery plugin for every element with a `grid` class, use this compiler: up.compiler('.grid', function($element) { $element.masonry(); }); The compiler function will be called on matching elements when the page loads or when a matching fragment is [inserted via AJAX](/up.link) later. @class up.syntax ### up.syntax = (($) -> u = up.util DESTRUCTIBLE_CLASS = 'up-destructible' DESTRUCTORS_KEY = 'up-destructors' compilers = [] macros = [] ###* Registers a function to be called whenever an element with the given selector is inserted into the DOM. Use compilers to activate your custom Javascript behavior on matching elements. You should migrate your [jQuery ready callbacks](https://api.jquery.com/ready/) to compilers. \#\#\# Example Let's say that any element with the `action` class should alert a message when clicked. We can implement this behavior as a compiler function that is called on all elements matching the `.action` selector: up.compiler('.action', function($element) { $element.on('click', function() { alert('Action was clicked!'); }); }); The compiler function will be called once for each matching element when the page loads, or when a matching fragment is [inserted](/up.replace) later. \#\#\# Integrating jQuery plugins `up.compiler()` is a great way to integrate jQuery plugins. Let's say your JavaScript plugin wants you to call `lightboxify()` on links that should open a lightbox. You decide to do this for all links with an `lightbox` class: River Ocean This JavaScript will do exactly that: up.compiler('a.lightbox', function($element) { $element.lightboxify(); }); \#\#\# Custom elements You can use `up.compiler()` to implement custom elements like this: Here is the JavaScript that inserts the current time into to these elements: up.compiler('clock', function($element) { var now = new Date(); $element.text(now.toString())); }); \#\#\# Cleaning up after yourself If your compiler returns a function, Unpoly will use this as a *destructor* to clean up if the element leaves the DOM. Note that in Unpoly the same DOM ad JavaScript environment will persist through many page loads, so it's important to not create [memory leaks](https://makandracards.com/makandra/31325-how-to-create-memory-leaks-in-jquery). You should clean up after yourself whenever your compilers have global side effects, like a [`setInterval`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowTimers/setInterval) or [event handlers bound to the document root](/up.on). Here is a version of `` that updates the time every second, and cleans up once it's done. Note how it returns a function that calls `clearInterval`: up.compiler('clock', function($element) { function update() { var now = new Date(); $element.text(now.toString())); } setInterval(update, 1000); return function() { clearInterval(update); }; }); If we didn't clean up after ourselves, we would have many ticking intervals operating on detached DOM elements after we have created and removed a couple of `` elements. \#\#\# Attaching structured data In case you want to attach structured data to the event you're observing, you can serialize the data to JSON and put it into an `[up-data]` attribute. For instance, a container for a [Google Map](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial) might attach the location and names of its marker pins:
The JSON will parsed and handed to your compiler as a second argument: up.compiler('.google-map', function($element, pins) { var map = new google.maps.Map($element); pins.forEach(function(pin) { var position = new google.maps.LatLng(pin.lat, pin.lng); new google.maps.Marker({ position: position, map: map, title: pin.title }); }); }); \#\#\# Migrating jQuery event handlers to `up.compiler()` Within the compiler, Unpoly will bind `this` to the native DOM element to help you migrate your existing jQuery code to this new syntax. So if you had this before: $(function() { $('.action').on('click', function() { $(this).something(); }); }); ... you can reuse the callback function like this: up.compiler('.action', function($element) { $element.on('click', function() { $(this).something(); }); }); @function up.compiler @param {String} selector The selector to match. @param {Number} [options.priority=0] The priority of this compilers. Compilers with a higher priority are run first. Two compilers with the same priority are run in the order they were registered. @param {Boolean} [options.batch=false] If set to `true` and a fragment insertion contains multiple elements matching the selector, `compiler` is only called once with a jQuery collection containing all matching elements. @param {Boolean} [options.keep=false] If set to `true` compiled fragment will be [persisted](/up-keep) during [page updates](/a-up-target). This has the same effect as setting an `up-keep` attribute on the element. @param {Function($element, data)} compiler The function to call when a matching element is inserted. The function takes the new element as the first argument (as a jQuery object). If the element has an [`up-data`](/up-data) attribute, its value is parsed as JSON and passed as a second argument. The function may return a destructor function that destroys the compiled object before it is removed from the DOM. The destructor is supposed to [clear global state](/up.compiler#cleaning-up-after-yourself) such as timeouts and event handlers bound to the document. The destructor is *not* expected to remove the element from the DOM, which is already handled by [`up.destroy()`](/up.destroy). The function may also return an array of destructor functions. @stable ### compiler = (args...) -> insertCompiler(compilers, args...) ###* Registers a [compiler](/up.compiler) that is run before all other compilers. You can use `up.macro()` to register a compiler that sets other UJS attributes. \#\#\# Example You will sometimes find yourself setting the same combination of UJS attributes again and again: Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 We would much rather define a new `content-link` attribute that let's us write the same links like this: Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 We can define the `content-link` attribute by registering a macro that sets the `up-target`, `up-transition` and `up-duration` attributes for us: up.macro('[content-link]', function($link) { $link.attr('up-target', '.content'); $link.attr('up-transition', 'cross-fade'); $link.attr('up-duration', '300'); }); Examples for built-in macros are [`up-dash`](/up-dash) and [`up-expand`](/up-expand). @function up.macro @param {String} selector The selector to match. @param {Object} options See options for [`up.compiler()`](/up.compiler). @param {Function($element, data)} compiler The function to call when a matching element is inserted. See [`up.compiler()`](/up.compiler) for details. @stable ### macro = (args...) -> insertCompiler(macros, args...) buildCompiler = (selector, args...) -> callback = args.pop() options = u.options(args[0], priority: 0) if options.priority == 'first' options.priority = Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY else if options.priority == 'last' options.priority = Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY selector: selector callback: callback priority: options.priority batch: options.batch keep: options.keep insertCompiler = (queue, args...) -> # Silently discard any compilers that are registered on unsupported browsers return unless up.browser.isSupported() newCompiler = buildCompiler(args...) index = 0 while (oldCompiler = queue[index]) && (oldCompiler.priority >= newCompiler.priority) index += 1 queue.splice(index, 0, newCompiler) applyCompiler = (compiler, $jqueryElement, nativeElement) -> up.puts ("Compiling '%s' on %o" unless compiler.isDefault), compiler.selector, nativeElement if compiler.keep value = if u.isString(compiler.keep) then compiler.keep else '' $jqueryElement.attr('up-keep', value) returnValue = compiler.callback.apply(nativeElement, [$jqueryElement, data($jqueryElement)]) for destructor in discoverDestructors(returnValue) addDestructor($jqueryElement, destructor) discoverDestructors = (returnValue) -> if u.isFunction(returnValue) [returnValue] else if u.isArray(returnValue) && u.all(returnValue, u.isFunction) returnValue else [] addDestructor = ($jqueryElement, destructor) -> $jqueryElement.addClass(DESTRUCTIBLE_CLASS) destructors = $jqueryElement.data(DESTRUCTORS_KEY) || [] destructors.push(destructor) $jqueryElement.data(DESTRUCTORS_KEY, destructors) ###* Applies all compilers on the given element and its descendants. Unlike [`up.hello()`](/up.hello), this doesn't emit any events. @function up.syntax.compile @param {Array} [options.skip] A list of elements whose subtrees should not be compiled. @internal ### compile = ($fragment, options) -> options = u.options(options) $skipSubtrees = $(options.skip) up.log.group "Compiling fragment %o", $fragment.get(0), -> for queue in [macros, compilers] for compiler in queue $matches = u.findWithSelf($fragment, compiler.selector) $matches = $matches.filter -> $match = $(this) u.all $skipSubtrees, (element) -> $match.closest(element).length == 0 if $matches.length up.log.group ("Compiling '%s' on %d element(s)" unless compiler.isDefault), compiler.selector, $matches.length, -> if compiler.batch applyCompiler(compiler, $matches, $matches.get()) else $matches.each -> applyCompiler(compiler, $(this), this) ###* Runs any destroyers on the given fragment and its descendants. Unlike [`up.destroy()`](/up.destroy), this doesn't emit any events and does not remove the element from the DOM. @function up.syntax.clean @internal ### clean = ($fragment) -> u.findWithSelf($fragment, ".#{DESTRUCTIBLE_CLASS}").each -> $element = $(this) destructors = $element.data(DESTRUCTORS_KEY) # Although destructible elements should always have an array of destructors, we might be # destroying a clone of such an element. E.g. Unpoly creates a clone when keeping an # [up-keep] element, and that clone still has the .up-destructible class. if destructors destructor() for destructor in destructors $element.removeData(DESTRUCTORS_KEY) $element.removeClass(DESTRUCTIBLE_CLASS) ###* Checks if the given element has an [`up-data`](/up-data) attribute. If yes, parses the attribute value as JSON and returns the parsed object. Returns an empty object if the element has no `up-data` attribute. \#\#\# Example You have an element with JSON data serialized into an `up-data` attribute: Bob Calling `up.syntax.data()` will deserialize the JSON string into a JavaScript object: up.syntax.data('.person') // returns { age: 18, name: 'Bob' } @function up.syntax.data @param {String|Element|jQuery} elementOrSelector @return The JSON-decoded value of the `up-data` attribute. Returns an empty object (`{}`) if the element has no (or an empty) `up-data` attribute. @stable ### ###* If an element with an `up-data` attribute enters the DOM, Unpoly will parse the JSON and pass the resulting object to any matching [`up.compiler()`](/up.compiler) handlers. For instance, a container for a [Google Map](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial) might attach the location and names of its marker pins:
The JSON will parsed and handed to your compiler as a second argument: up.compiler('.google-map', function($element, pins) { var map = new google.maps.Map($element); pins.forEach(function(pin) { var position = new google.maps.LatLng(pin.lat, pin.lng); new google.maps.Marker({ position: position, map: map, title: pin.title }); }); }); Similarly, when an event is triggered on an element annotated with [`up-data`], the parsed object will be passed to any matching [`up.on()`](/up.on) handlers. up.on('click', '.google-map', function(event, $element, pins) { console.log("There are %d pins on the clicked map", pins.length); }); @selector [up-data] @param {JSON} up-data A serialized JSON string @stable ### data = (elementOrSelector) -> $element = $(elementOrSelector) json = $element.attr('up-data') if u.isString(json) && u.trim(json) != '' JSON.parse(json) else {} ###* Makes a snapshot of the currently registered event listeners, to later be restored through `reset`. @internal ### snapshot = -> setDefault = (compiler) -> compiler.isDefault = true u.each(compilers, setDefault) u.each(macros, setDefault) ###* Resets the list of registered compiler directives to the moment when the framework was booted. @internal ### reset = -> isDefault = (compiler) -> compiler.isDefault compilers = u.select(compilers, isDefault) macros = u.select(macros, isDefault) up.on 'up:framework:booted', snapshot up.on 'up:framework:reset', reset compiler: compiler macro: macro compile: compile clean: clean data: data )(jQuery) up.compiler = up.syntax.compiler up.macro = up.syntax.macro
