ractive-ractive

Experimental ractive adaptor for ractive objects. This makes it possible to use template-less Ractive objects as models.

Find more Ractive.js plugins at docs.ractivejs.org/latest/plugins

Note for v0.x users:

v1.0.0 changes the behavior of doing require('ractive-ractive') (eg, in Browserify). See the changelog for upgrade instructions.

Example

Ractive.defaults.adapt.push('Ractive');

parent = new Ractive();
user   = new Ractive();

parent.set('user', user);

Changes in children are propagated to the parent:

user.set('name', 'Jake');
parent.get('user.name')   //=> "Jake"

Changes in the parent are propagated to the children:

parent.set('user.name', 'Matt');
user.get('name')   //=> "Matt"

Features

Everything you'd expect to work will work.

• bi-directional propagation
• observers
• templates
• computed properties

However, these things are not supported, but may be in the future:

• circular dependencies (an error will be thrown)
• events (see ractive#1249)

Wrap events

It will trigger a few events:

• wrap - called when the instance is set as an attribute of another instance
• unwrap - called when the instance has been unset from its parent
• wrapchild - called when the instance gets an Ractive attribute set
• unwrapchild - called when the instance gets an Ractive attribute unset

To illustrate:

parent = new Ractive();
child  = new Ractive();

parent.set('x', child);
// triggers `wrap(parent, 'x')` on child
// triggers `wrapchild(child, 'x')` on parent

parent.set('x', undefined);
// triggers `unwrap(parent, 'x')` on child
// triggers `unwrapchild(child, 'x')` on parent

Usage

ractive-ractive is available via npm.

$ npm install --save ractive-ractive

In CommonJS:

Ractive.adaptors.Ractive = require('ractive-ractive');
Ractive.defaults.adapt = ['Ractive'];

Without module loaders, the adaptor is available as "Ractive" under Ractive.adaptors.Ractive.
