Matreshka v0.2
Download
Matreshka - is the small and powerful client-side Javascript framework that allows you to build your applications a new way. The main advantages of Matreshka are:
- Data-DOM bindings
- Firing events when data changes
- Improved data types (Matreshka.Array and Matreshka.Object)
Forget that you have an UI, because it changes automatically when the data changes!
Getting started
Plug in Matreshka to your app
More info about how to attach Matreshka to your page you can find on documentation
<script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/matreshka.min.js"></script>
Matreshka (main class) using
var mk = new MK;
mk.bindElement( 'myKey', '.my-element' ); // you just bound element to your key "myKey"
mk.on( 'change:myKey', function() {
alert( 'yeah' );
});
mk.myKey = 5; // changes DOM element (".my-element") and alerts "yeah"
Matreshka.Object (inherits Matreshka) using
var mkObject = new MK.Object({
a: 3,
b: 4
});
mkObject.bindElement({
a: '.a-element',
b: '.b-element'
});
mkObject.on( 'modify', function() {
alert( 'yeah' );
});
mkObject.a = 5; // changes DOM element (".a-element") and alerts "yeah"
console.log( mkObject.toJSON() ); // logs { a:5, b:4 }
Matreshka.Array (inherits Matreshka) using
mkArray = new MK.Array( 1, 2, 3, 4 );
mkArray.on( 'push', function() {
alert( 'yeah' );
});
mkArray.push( 5 ); // adds 5 to the end of given array and alerts "yeah"
console.log( mkArray.toString() ); // logs "1,2,3,4,5"
Cool?
Documentation
Known issues in Internet Explorer 8
- .toString method doesn't work (fixable)
- MK.Object: for..in cycle works buggy because of restriction of Object.defineProperty in IE8. Use .each method instead
Known issues because of Internet Explorer 8
These bugs will be fixed in Matreshka v1.0 when IE8 support will be removed
MK.Array: Standard iterators (.forEeach, .map, .some) takes native array as third callback's element. For example
var array = new MK.Array( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 );
array.forEach( function( item, index, self ) {
alert( array === self ); // false
});
