jquery-ajax-markup
This is a petite jQuery plugin that allows you to make ajax calls directly from HTML elements without writing any JavaScript. The idea came from the need to load and display data on a page in multiple places after the page was all loaded up. It's usage is inspired a bit by AngularJS, but obviously much simpler and lighter.
##Usage
To use simply add data-ajax-url="http://example.com/api"
to any element. By default the response from the url will be inserted
into the element as text.
###HTML data
If the expected response of the ajax call is HTML specify data-ajax-type="html"
. With this markup the contents of the div will be filled by the response of the url.
<div data-ajax-url="http://example.com/api/product" data-ajax-type="html"></div>
###JSON data
If the expected response of the ajax call is JSON then specify data-ajax-type="json"
. The properties of the JSON object will be accessible like ~property~
. In this example the ~name~
and ~sku~
text will be replaced by the name
and sku
property of the returned JSON. This works in attribute values as well as inner text.
<div data-ajax-url="http://example.com/api/product" data-ajax-type="json" class="~sku~ active">
~name~
</div>
Note that urls are only requested once even if multiple elements use the same one.
