coins-jquery-ui-utilities

Common GUI actions and objects, standardized and simplified for constructing jQ UI widget instances

why

So modals, buttons, datepickers, etc get created through a common interface to yield improved consistency through the FE app.

interface

button

All button functions, accessible via .button.FUNCNAME accept a common set of options to override the default behavior.

All button functions accept the options hash, and most provide some helpful defaults. Apply any button options usually fed the jQuery button API to the options hash. Additional actions supported are:

• class ['string'] (default: 'default') - a button class to apply. see btnClasses
• el [Element] - element to buttonize. If no element provided, the button config (see returnConfig) is returned by default
• returnConfig [boolean] - return the button configuration object, vs the button instance
• closeDialog [booean] (default: false) - If button is fed to a dialog, buttons: [] array, the button will close the dialog after any click function has executed, and after any action function(s) have executed. This will auto-enable click regardless if no click is defined.
• destroyDialog [boolean] (default: false) - See closeDialog, but destroys widget instance
• action [Function | [Function]] - additional action function(s) to be performed on button click. This will auto-enable click regardless if no click is defined. All actions are run synchronously.

btnClasses

String indexed hash of boostrap correllated classNames. Available classes are: 'default', 'danger', 'info', 'primary', 'success', 'warning'

See jquery bootstrap classes.

base

All button constructors below utilize base. Can be used directly with above configurations as needed.

close

Sugar for a button titled "Close" that will attempt to close a Dialog instance on click.

destroy

Sugar for a button titled "Close" that will attempt to destroy a Dialog instance on click.

delete

Sugar for a red button titled "Delete" that ensures that a click or action attr is defined.

dialog

All dialog functions accept the options hash, and most provide some helpful defaults. Apply any dialog options usually fed the jQuery dialog API to the options hash. Additional actions supported are:

base

All dialog constructors below utilize base. Can be used directly with above configurations as needed. Close buttons in the button pane destroy the dialog by default.

fail

Generates a dialog with a default title of "Operation Failed", a friendly error message, and a red close button.

api

[Deprecated] Passed an api error, builds a fail dialog with details from the failed API call. Not recommended for use.

This is a dated means of dependency management, however, until all COINS tools migrate to a FE DI system, it shall suffice.

demo

run npm run demo and open the posted url! demo/index.html should load with some helpful examples.
