jQuery reusable component library

Download: more than 70 jComponents for free for everyone. www.componentator.com

YOU HAVE TO SEE:



Library

jComponent offers 3 libraries for development rich web applications:

If you want to use jComponent on your presentation website - use jcomponent.min.js only. If you create a rich web application, then use jcta.min.js because it contains template engine and for SPA use jctajr.min.js because it contains template engine and HTML 5 history API.

The components work is the browser window. scope. So each path in the form of path.to.something is automatically routed into window.path.to.something. The library automatically creates values according the binding path.

The library can be loaded with async attribute.


HTML definition

The library searches all components according data-component attribute which must contain a component name and the component must be defined in JavaScript.

IMPORTANT: +v8.0.0 supports shorter names of attributes e.g. data-jc="" instead of data-component="" or data-jc-path instead of data-component-path.

IMPORTANT: +v8.0.0 supports declaring of multiple components like this <div data-jc="component1,component2,component3" ....

Simple declaration of the component

<div data-component="textbox">Name</div>

<!-- OR -->
<b data-component="timer"></b>

<!-- OR -->
<span data-jc="email-decoder">your(AT)mail(DOT)com</span>

<!-- OR -->
<table>
    <tbody data-jc="pricelist"></tbody>
</table>

<!-- OR multiple declaration of components +v8.0.0 -->
<div data-jc="binder,exec"></div>

Declaration with binding

Binding is represented as data-component-path attribute. jComponent has own buil-in mechanism for binding values to/from component (you can rewrite it).

<div data-component="textbox" data-component-path="contactform.name">Name</div>

<!-- empty "data-component" can write only raw output according binding path -->
<div data-component="" data-component-path="contactform.name"></div>

The value contactform.name is linked to window.contactform.name (window is meant as a browser window instance). The library automatically creates value in window scope if the value doesn't exist.


HTML attributes

<element data-component="" />
<!--
    Must contain a component name. If the value of this attribute is empty then jComponent
    writes only raw output according binding path attribute.
-->

<element data-component-path="" />
<!--
    It's not required. The attribute contains the binding path for binding values between
    the component and a model, e.g. `form.name` (is binded to `window.form.name`) or
    `user.age` (is binded to `window.user.age`).
-->

<element data-component-type="" />
<!--
    It's not required. The attribute can contain a type of the component and you must define
    own types manually e.g. `date`. jComponent internally supports `number` and `currency` type, so each string value is automatically converted into the `Number`.
-->

<element data-component-id="" />
<!--
    It's not required. This attribute is an identificator of the component for the searching.
-->

<element data-component-class="" />
<!--
    When is the component ready then the library automatically toggles the element
    `class` according this attribute. It's not required.
-->

<element data-component-import="" />
<!--
    Must contain a valid URL address and the element must contatin data-component="" attribute. This attribute download HTML or JS content and evaluates its. E.g. jComponent downloads
    the content !!! only onetime !!! but the content can be used in many components.

    E.g.:

    // First component
    <div data-component="editor" data-component-import="/editor.html"></div>

    // Second component
    <p data-component="editor" data-component-import="/editor.html"></p>

    // etc..
-->

<element data-component-init="" />
<!--
    It's not required and must contain name of the function which is executed when the
    component is ready. `function init(component) {}`.
-->

<element data-component-template="" />
<!--
    It's not required and can contain only URL address to the component template. The
    library automatically downloads the content and sends it to the component (into
    the `make` delegate). IMPORTANT: uf the value starts with `.` or `#` or contains `[` then
    jComponent uses DOM selector and the HTML of the selector will be the template.
-->

<element data-component-dependencies="" />
<!--
    Can contain multiple [path] or [component-id] or [component-name] divider with comma ",".
    This feature is only for broadcasting. Look to: BROADCAST() or component.broadcast();
    E.g. data-component-dependencies="#component-id, .path.to.property, component-name"
-->

<element data-component-scope="" />
<!--
    A scope attribute updates the `data-component-path` in all nested components.
    With the scope works `data-component-init` and `data-component-class`.
    If the scope value `data-component-scope` is `?` then the `data-component-path`
    is generated automatically. IMPORTANT: this element MUST CONTAIN some jComponents,
    otherwise the scope won't be initialized.

    ::: E.g.:
    <element data-component-scope="users">
        <element data-component="textbox" data-component-path="form.name" />
    </element>

    <element data-component-scope="?">
        <element data-component="textbox" data-component-path="form.name" />
    </element>

    <element data-component-scope="?">
        disables scope manually
        <element data-component="textbox" data-component-path="form.name" data-component-noscope="true" />
    </element>


    ::: Result for imagination:
    <element data-component-scope="users">
        <element data-component="textbox" data-component-path="users.form.name" />
    </element>

    <element data-component-scope="scope343983">
        <element data-component="textbox" data-component-path="scope343983.form.name" />
    </element>

    <element data-component-scope="scope584948">
        <element data-component="textbox" data-component-path="form.name" data-component-noscope="true" />
    </element>
-->

<element data-component-noscope="true" />
<!--
    Disables main scope for this component.
-->

<element data-component-value="" />
<!--
    This is an initial value (NEW: and default value) for the component or scope. Value is evaluated as JavaScript.

    ::: E.g.
    <element data-component-scope="?" data-component-value="{ name: 'jComponent', tags: ['node.js', 'jComponent', 'total.js'] }">
    ...
    </element>

    <element data-component="a-component-string" data-component-value="'String value'">
    ...
    </element>

    <element data-component="a-component-number" data-component-value="10">
    ...
    </element>

    Look into `DEFAULT()`, `component.default()` or `$.components.default()` functions.
-->

<element data-component-controller="CONTROLLER_NAME">
<!--
   +v3.9.0 - automatically calls the controller initialization. Look into the
   controller section in this manual.
-->

<element data-component-singleton="true" />
<!--
   +v3.9.3 - sets the current component as singleton. Singleton can be set manually in
   the component instance like this: `instance.singleton()`.
-->

<element data-component-released="true" />
<!--
   +v7.0.0 - sets state of this current component as released.
-->

Special HTML attributes

<element data-component-url="" />
<!--
    The library downloads a full HTML template with the component and its JavaScript
    declaration. The content will be inserted into the current element and then will
    be evaluated.

    This attribute can be used with `data-component-path`: the library automatically
    rewrites `$` char in all attributes [data-component-path] of all injected components
    according to `data-component-path`.

    If the URL starts with `ONCE http://...` then the content will downloaded only one time.
-->

<element data-component-bind="" />
<!--
    This attribute can be used only in `<input`, `<textarea` and `<select` tags. If the
    component contains a said tag then the attribute ensures two way binding between
    the input (in component) and the model. You don't need to declare `setter` and
    `getter` because the library to create it automatically. The value of this attribute
    is empty like this `data-component-bind=""`.
-->

<element data-component-keypress="" />
<!--
    Works only with `<input` and `<textarea` tags and enables/disables keypress real-time
    bindings of values. Default: `true` and the tags must have `data-component-bind`
    attribute.
-->

<element data-component-keypress-delay="" />
<!--
    It's delay / sleep time for real-time bindings of values in milliseconds.
    Default: `300`.
-->

<element data-component-keypress-only="" />
<!--
    This attribute can enable only real-time bindings. That means: `blur` and `change`
    event is skipped in `<input`, `<textarea` tags. Suitable for autocomplete fields.
    Default: `false`.
-->

Component definition

The definition of the component must be defined in JavaScript. You can define the component in a HTML template (in <script> tag) or in your own JavaScript libraries.

Simple example:

COMPONENT('my-component-name', function() {

    // A component instance
    var instance = this;

    // component definition
    this.make = function(template) {
        this.element.html('Hello world!');
    };

});

Properties

COMPONENT('my-component-name', function() {
    var instance = this;

    instance.global;
    // Returns {Object}. The global object is the shared object for all instances
    // of this component.

    instance.name;
    // This property contains the component name, e.g. my-component-name.
    // If you use multiple // same components then this value will be same like other.

    instance.path;
    // This property contains a binding path, it's read-only. The library
    // binds value between component and the scope / model according this path.

    instance.id;
    // This property contains the component identificator from 'data-component-id`
    // attribute. By default contains internal ID of the current component instance.

    instance.type;
    // This property contains the component type from `data-component-type` attribute.
    // Default: ""

    instance.template;
    // This property contains the current `String` template. You can change the value
    // of this property for anything. This property can contain URL address and the
    // library download the template automatically.

    instance.element;
    // The HTML element of this component.

    instance.dependencies;
    // String Array. Can contain multiple [path] or [component-id] or [component-name].
    // Only for broadcasting.

    instance.caller;
    // This property contains the brodcast caller (e.g. other component)
    // Works only with broadcasting.

    instance.trim;
    // This property affects trimming of string values and works only with [data-component-bind]
    // and default `.instance.setter`. Default value: true.

    instance.usage = { init: 0, manually: 0, input: 0, default: 0, custom: 0, valid: 0, dirty: 0 };
    // Component last usage, the number is Date.now().
    // The object has a prototype .convert(type)
    // instance.usage.convert('minutes')
    // instance.usage.convert('seconds')
    // instance.usage.convert('hours')
    // instance.usage.convert('minutes')
    
    instance.scope;
    // The property contains data-component-scope element if exists.
    
    instance.pathscope;
    // The property contains value of data-component-scope element if exists.
    
    instance.siblings;
    // Returns {Boolean} and it indicates whether the element contains multiple
    // declaration of components.
});

Delegates

COMPONENT('my-component-name', function() {

    var instance = this;
    
    instance.init = function() {
        // Is executed onetime for all same components.
    };

    instance.prerender = function(template) {
        // A prerender delegate is executed when the `data-component-template` attribute
        // contains URL to template. Is executed once.

        this.template = Tangular.compile(template);
    });


    instance.make = function(template) {
        // This delegate is executed when the component is creating an own instance.
        // Is executed once.

        // if instance.prerender is not defined then the template will be {String}
        // (only when the template will be defined).
        this.template = Tangular.compile(template);

        // If you return "true" then jComponent compiles new components now.
        // return true;
    };


    instance.done = function() {
        // This delegate is executed when the component is ready to use
        // (after the making).
    };


    instance.destroy = function() {
        // This delegate is executed when the component is destroyed.
    };


    instance.validate = function(value, isInitialValue) {
        // Very important degelate for the validation of values. The library executes
        // this delegate when the value is changed in the current component
        // with `<input data-component-bind` or `<textarea data-component-bind`
        // or `<select data-component-bind` elements. Otherwise you must call
        // this delegate manually.

            return true;

        return value.length > 0;
    };


    instance.state = function(type, who) {
        // This delegate watches the value state. In this delegate you can change
        // the `design` of the component according the value state.

        // type === 0 : init
        // type === 1 : manually
        // type === 2 : by input
        // type === 3 : by default

        // contain `<input data-component-bind` or `<textarea data-component-bind`
        // or `<select data-component-bind` elements. If the value is changed
        // according `data-component-path` then the library executes this delegate.

        // Argument: value
        // value === new value

        // Argument: path

        instance.element.html(JSON.stringify(value));
    };


    // This method is called when the component uses built-in `setter`
    // +v6.0.0
    instance.setter2 = function(value, path, type) {

        // `<textarea data-component-bind` or `<select data-component-bind` change
        // the value in the current component. `getter` means --> get value
        // from the input. This delegate has an own implementation, but you can
        // rewrite it like that:

    // type: xs, sm, md, lg
    // new size
});

// Remove media query listener: "id" must be number
MEDIAQUERY(id);

Operations

Operations are predefined functions. The operation can be executed automatically in the component attribute e.g. data-component-init="#operation-name".

OPERATION(name, fn);
// Creates the operation.

OPERATION(name);
// Returns the operation.

Example

// CREATING
OPERATION('get.users', function(filter, callback) {
    AJAX('GET /api/users/', filter, callback);
});

OPERATION('now', function() {
    return new Date().format('HH:mm:ss');
});

// EXECUTING
OPERATION('get.users')({}, 'db.users');
console.log(OPERATION('now')());

GET('#get.users')({}, 'db.users');
console.log(GET('#now')());

Waiter

Waiter waits for a checker argument and if the checker value returns true then evaluates callback function. Time

WAIT(checker, callback, [interval], [timeout])
// @checker Function or String
// @callback(again) Function (again(sleep) --> is a function and sets new watcher for same condition)
// @interval Number default: 500
// @timeout Number default: undefined

WAIT(function() {
    return window.d3 !== undefined;
}, function(err, again) {
    // err can be timeout
    console.log('OK, D3.js loaded');

    // Re-calls this WAIT again with the sleep time
    // again(1000);
});

// is same as

WAIT('d3', function(again) {
    console.log('OK, D3.js loaded');

    // Re-calls this WAIT again with the sleep time
    // again(1000);
});

Keypress

+v4.0.0 The method KEYPRESS is a great feature for e.g. filters. When a user types a fulltext search then you can create delay between sending data and user interaction.

// KEYPRESS(fn, [timeout], [key]);
// default timeout: 300
// default key: "fn".toString()

var count = 0;
var interval = setInterval(function() {
    if (count++ > 100)    
        clearInterval(interval);
    KEYPRESS(function() {
        console.log('When count will be great then 100');
    });
}, 100);

Controllers

Controllers don't know any special features. Their implementation is very simple:

// CONTROLLER returns initialization function.
var controller = CONTROLLER('users', function(patcher, arg) {

    // "this" === controller
    // "patcher" argument can replace only paths
    // "arg" additional init argument

    console.log(patcher('{name}.datasource'));
    // Output: users.datasource

    this.page = 1;

    console.log(patcher('{name}.datasource and {name}.{page}'));
    // Output: users.datasource and users.1
    
    this.getName = function() {
        return 'jComponent';
    };
});

// Init controller
// Executes its declaration
controller('ADDITIONAL ARGUMENT');

// Get controller object
console.log(CONTROLLER('users').getName());

        won't be initialized.
    -->
    ... A CONTENT ...
</div>

<script>
    function init_function(path, scope) {

    }
</script>

jQuery

$('#my-component').component();
// Returns the component (Object) or components (Array) when the element contains
// multiple declaration of components.

$(document).on('components', function(count) {
    // New components are ready.
});

// Gets all components in an element
$(document).components(function(component, index) {
    console.log(component);
});

Special cases

Copy "data-component-path" to nested component

Usage:

<div data-component-url="/templates/grid.html" data-component-path="grid.datasource"></div>

Component /templates/grid.html:

<!--
    The library copies "data-component-path" and replaces "$" in
    a new template.
-->
<div data-component="grid" data-component-path="$"></div>

<script>
    COMPONENT('grid', function() {
        this.make = function() {
            // It will be "grid.datasource"
            console.log(self.path);
        };
    });
</script>

Extending components

  • v5.0.0 offers a great way how to extend existing components:
COMPONENT_EXTEND('component-name', function(component) {
    component.element.append('<div>EXTENDED 1</div>');
});

COMPONENT_EXTEND('component-name', function(component) {
    component.element.append('<div>EXTENDED 2</div>');
});

Tools

Cookies

jC.cookies.get('cookie_name');

jC.cookies.set('cookie_name', 'cookie_value', expiration);
// {Number} expiration = method sets days for the expiration
// {Date} expiration

jC.cookies.rem('cookie_name');

Tangular Helpers

Date formatting:

{{ created | format('yyyy-MM-dd') }}   :: {{ FIELD | format(DATE_TIME_FORMAT) }}
{{ created | format('!yyyy-MM-dd') }}  :: "!" converts date to half day hours format (12 hours per day)

YY/YYYY - year
M/MM    - month
d/dd    - day

h/hh    - hours
m/mm    - minutes
s/ss    - seconds
a       - AM/PM

Number formatting:

<!-- price = 1234.567 -->
{{ price | format(2) }} :: {{ FIELD | format(DECIMALS, [SEPARATOR], SEPARATOR_DECIMALS) }}
<!-- OUTPUT: 1 234.56 -->

<!-- price = 1234.567 -->
{{ price | format(2, ',', '.') }}
<!-- OUTPUT: 1,234.56 -->

<!-- price = 1234.567 -->
{{ price | format(2, ',') }}
<!-- OUTPUT: 1 234,56 -->

Pluralize

{{ count | pluralize('no users', '# user', '# users', '#users') }}

### Async

Simple usage:

var arr = [];

arr.push(function(next, index) {
    console.log('FN 1');
    next();
});

arr.push(function(next, index) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        console.log('FN 2');
        next();
    }, 1000);
});

// Array.prototype.async([context], [callback()]);
// context is by default: empty plain object.
arr.async();

// Second another example
var items = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4];

// Array.prototype.waitFor(fn_each, [callback]);
items.waitFor(function(item, next, index) {
    console.log(item);
    setTimeout(next, 100);
});

Advanced usage:

var arr = [];

arr.push(function(next, index) {
    this.counter++;
    next();
});

arr.push(function(next, index) {
    this.counter++;
    next();
});

arr.push(function(next, index) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        this.counter++;
        next();
    }, 1000);
});

// arr.async([context], [callback(err, response)]);
// context is by default: empty plain object.
arr.async({ counter: 0 }, function(response) {
    console.log(response);
    // or
    // console.log(this);
});

+v4.0.0 Middleware everywhere

  • middleware for all setters
<div data-component="your_component" data-component-path="path.to.property #MIDDLEWARE1 #MIDDLEWARE 2"></div>
AJAX('GET /api/users/ #MIDDLEWARE1 #MIDDLEWARE2 #MIDDLEWARE3', 'users');
SET('path.to.property #MIDDLEWARE1 #MIDDLEWARE2', 'new value');
UPDATE('path.to.property #MIDDLEWARE1 #MIDDLEWARE2');
REWRITE('path.to.property #MIDDLEWARE1 #MIDDLEWARE2', 'new value');

+v4.0.0 Async loading components

<script async src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script async src="jctajr.min.js"></script>
<script async src="ui.js"></script>
if (!window.jComponent)
    window.jComponent = [];

// jComponent executes each function automatically in `window.jComponent` when the jComponent library is ready
window.jComponent.push(function() {

    // This context will be executed when the jComponent library is ready
    
    COMPONENT('label', function() {
        // ... 
    });

    COMPONENT('textbox', function() {
        // ... 
    });

});
