only.js: Write everything in javascript
only.js allows HTML and CSS to be written inline in Javascript code using JSON representation.
For example, this HTML:
<div>
<p>Food:</p>
<ul class="cake">
<li>Milk</li>
<li>Spinach</li>
<li>Tacos</li>
<li>Peas</li>
</ul>
</div>can become this javascript:
only.setHtml([
{div: [
{ul: [
{li: "Milk"},
{li: "Spinach"},
{li: "Tacos"},
{li: "Peas"}
],
class: "cake"
}]//ul
}//div
]);###CSS This CSS:
.cake {
color: red;
display: inline-block;
}becomes this javascript:
only.makeCss(".cake",{
color: "red",
display: "inline-block"
});or, put css style inline with javascript
only.setHtml({
p: "Hello World",
css: {
color: "red",
display: "inline-block"
}
})###Inline javascript This allows you to put any code you want into your HTML representation directly, just like a templating engine but in Javascript:
only.setHtml([
{p: String(new Date())}
]);Will be displayed as:
###Keep all code for one component together This HTML+javascript+CSS, spread between three files:
<body>
<!-- ... -->
<button id="button1" class="button"></button>
<!-- ... -->
</body>//...
$(".button1").click(
alert("I just got clicked!");
)
//.../* ... */
.button {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 5px;
}
/* ... */can become just one thing in one file:
//create button
var button = only.html(
{button: "ima button",
css: {
borderStyle: "solid",
borderWidth: "5px"
}
}
);
//add listener
button.addEventListener("click", function(e){
console.log("button clicked!");
})
//add to page
only.setHtml([
button
])###Reuse Elements Easily To reuse an element, all you need to do is save it in a var:
//create reusable error message
var errorMsg = {
div: [
{p: "there has been an error"},
{img: "",
src: "error.png"}
],
style: "border-width:10;border-style:solid;"
};
//use it:
only.setHtml([
//...
errorMsg,
//... more stuff
errorMsg
]);
###Another example Simple user interaction:
var input = only.html({input: ""});
var submit = only.html({button: "Submit Name"})
var response = only.html({p: ""});
//no need for an id on the button
submit.onclick = function(){
var name = input.value;
response.innerHTML = "Hello " + name, " how are you today?";
}
only.setHtml([
{p: "Please enter your name"},
input,
submit,
response
]);
