Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Client side binding implemented with Object.observe

Readme

I'm shooting for the binding functionality of knockout.js, the template syntax of Handlebars, without the overhead of Angular.

Feel free to read the docs, but the best way to get a feel is to play with the demo.

Live Demo

This is a very simple implementation but it does support nested Objects and Arrays (including Array.push()). IE9+ support when using polyfill version, /dist/droopy-binding.polyfill.js

Two-way Binding

Automatically both your UI and javascript object properties when things get changed.

HTML

Reference a property anywhere in your HTML using double curly braces {{property}}

<div id='container' data-id='{{id}}' style='visibility: {{visibility}}'>
	<h1>{{title}}</h1>
	The id is: {{id}}
	<p>{{details}}</p>
	<!-- Reference nested properties with dot notation-->
	<strong>Author: {{author.firstName}} {{author.lastName}}</strong>

	<!-- To iterate through an Array, use the data-each attribute-->
	<ul data-each='complexItems'>
    		<!-- If you want to reference a property on the current item as you loop through,
         	use a square bracket instead of a curly brace. '{[itemProperty]}'-->
		<li>{[name]}</li>
	</ul>

	<!-- use an underscore to reference the current scope -->
	<!-- for example, each item in items is just a string, no properties to reference -->
	<ul data-each='stringItems'>
		<li>{[_]}</li>
	</ul>
</div>
  • Reference a property anywhere in your HTML using double curly braces {{property}}
  • Reference nested properties with dot notation {{author.firstName}}
  • Loop through Arrays using the data-each attribute, data-each='arrayName'
  • When looping through an Array, reference a property on the current item with a curly brace then a square bracket, {[property]}
  • To reference the current scope, use an underscore,{{_}}. For example, if you are iterating an array of strings, there would no property to reference on each item, so use the underscore to use the current item's value, <div data-each='names'><h3>{[_]}</h3><div>.
JavaScript

Create your binding by passing:

  1. The id of the HTML element that contains all of your placeholders
  2. The object you want to bind to
var binding = new DroopyBinding('container', viewModel);

In the above example, viewModel would be an object like this

// setup the initial object to bind to
var viewModel = {
    id: 123,
    title: "Initial Title",
    details: "These are the details",
    visibility: "visible",
    author: {
        firstName: "Andrew",
        lastName: "Petersen",
        id: "12"
    },
    stringItems: [
        "one",
        "two",
        "three",
        "four"
    ],
    complexItems: [
        {
            name: "itemOne",
            id: 1
        }, {
            name: "itemTwo",
            id:2
        }
    ]
};

Update Examples

Lots of times we'll make an AJAX request, get new data, then have write UI code to show the new data in the view. With binding, as soon as you update the viewModel with new data, the view automatically updates. No UI code required

// Make an AJAX request for new data, and automatically update view when the new data is applied to the viewModel
$.getJSON("/api/mydata").then(function(responseData) {
	viewModel.title = "New Title",
	viewModel.details = "The details have changed to:" + resonseData.details;
	viewModel.complexItems = responseData.items;	
});

// Updating a specific array item's nested property will update that item in the view
viewModel.complexItems[0].name = "I'm an array item nested property!";

// Adding a new item to the array will automatically add it to the view
viewModel.complexItems.push({name: "And I'm a whole new item"});
