Microjs

What is microjs?

Microjs (ujs) is a lightweight utility library written in JavaScript. The aim is to provide minimal but useful utility features. There are also a few extensions to extend existing features.

Features

• Trigger an event on a DOMElement
• Add/Remove attributes
• Add/Remove styles
• Ajax method for GET and POST (IE9+)
• Some aliases
• [Extension] ArrayList
• [Extension] Dictionary

Examples

Ajax

ujs.ajax({
  method: "POST",
  url: "process.php",
  params: "action=1&user_id=45",
  success: function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  }
});

Trigger events

<div id="btnValidate" class="button red">OK</div>

// Gets the button
var button = ujs.getById("btnValidate");
 
// Trigger a click event
ujs.triggerEvent(button, "click");

[Extension] The ArrayList class

// Creates a list
var list = new ujs.ArrayList(); 
 
// Adds an array
list.add([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]);
 
// Adds an element
list.add(45);
 
// Removes the element at the fourth position
list.removeAt(4);
 
// Inserts the element 42 at the fourth position
list.insertAt(4, 42);
 
// Starts a loop on all elements.
list.forEach(function (el) { elements.push(el); });

[Extension] The Dictionary class

// Creates the dictionary
var dictionary = new ujs.Dictionary();
 
// Adds an element.
dictionary.add("chat", { name: "Boby", age: 1 });
 
// Creates an array of keys and values.
var keys = ["animaux", "humains", "reptiles"];
var values =  [{ name: "animal", age: 25 }, { name: "humain", age: 48 }, { name: "reptile", age: 18 }];
 
// Adds them.
dictionary.addRange(keys, values);
 
// Removes an element.
dictionary.remove("humains");
 
// Clones the collection.
var dico2 = dictionary.clone();
 
// Edits the element with the key cat
dico2.getElement("cat").foo = "bar";
dico2.getElement("cat").age = 42;
dico2.getElement("cat").name = "Miaou";
dico2.getElement("cat").bar = "foo";
 
// Merges a collection into another.
dico2.merge(dictionary);
