• Using the Text Plugin With RequireJS To Load Remote HTML Templates

    Updated: 2011-10-28 16:57:00
    Earlier this week, I started looking into the RequireJS library as a way to manage JavaScript dependencies and modular application design . In addition to the core functionality of loading modules, RequireJS also has a plugin architecture that enables the loading of non-JavaScript data types. The "Text" plugin, for example, allows text files t ... ead More raquo;

  • Using RequireJS For Asynchronous Script Loading And JavaScript Dependency Management

    Updated: 2011-10-26 19:50:00
    Traditionally, when I've needed to load multiple JavaScript files into an application, I've used multiple Script tags. This works, but is less than optimal when it comes to load times and organization. A while back, I experimented with LABjs for more efficient asynchronous script loading . LABjs has a dead-simple API and allows for good dependency management. As a fu ... ead More raquo;

  • jQuery Can Provide Queue-Based Promise Objects

    Updated: 2011-10-24 16:23:00
    Last week, I was looking up some Promise information in the jQuery API when I came across the .promise() fn-method. While I have worked with promises in the context of AJAX and explicit Deferred objects, it seems that jQuery provides implicit promise functionality around their queues and dequeuing functionality . This allows for promise objects to be returned for animations ... ead More raquo;

  • Creating A Timer (Timeout) Using jQuery Deferred Objects

    Updated: 2011-10-11 17:01:00
    When I talk about using jQuery's new Deferred objects in the context of AJAX, people will often ask my why I don't just use the "success" and "error" callbacks in the AJAX configuration hash. To this, I can only say that I find the deferred / promise aspects create more readable and enjoyable code. Along the same lines, I wanted to see if I could create a Deferred wrapper for the native JavaScript timeout functions (setTimeout() and clearTimeout()). While this does add a bit of new functional ... ead More raquo;

  • Appending An Array Of jQuery Objects To The DOM

    Updated: 2011-10-07 16:42:00
    Often times, when I am creating HTML in a thick-client application, I am merging the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data returned from an AJAX call with a client-side template. The resultant DOM (Document Object Model) nodes are then initialized and appended to the visible document tree. As an intermediary step in this process, I am typically creating a collection of jQuery objects, each of which represents a newly formed DOM node. The problem with this approach, however, is that the jQuer ... Read More raquo;

    Over the weekend, I attended the jQuery Conference 2011 up in Boston. In the CoffeeScript presentation by Mark Bates , I saw something very interesting. When he showed us how the CoffeeScript was compiled down into JavaScript, I saw the conversion using an approach that I had never seen before: the compiler was explicitly setting the context of self-executing function blocks.
