I know jQuery. Now what?

I've always been a big believer in using jQuery as a shortcut route to adding interactivity to web sites. You don't need to know the intricacies of browsers bugs around the DOM. But now you've got that essential jQuery knowledge, what's next? How do you live without jQuery? Are we even there yet? And what about your colleagues and peers - how do they progress with you?

  34. ax

  35. function request(type, url, opts, callback) { var xhr = new

    XMLHttpRequest(); if (typeof opts === 'function') { callback = opts; opts = null; } xhr.open(type, url); // serialise post data if (type === 'POST' && opts) { // <snip...so I can make the slide smaller> } xhr.onload = function () { callback(JSON.parse(xhr.response)); }; xhr.send(opts ? fd : null); } var get = request.bind(this, 'GET'); var post = request.bind(this, 'POST');

  36. function request(type, url, opts, callback) { var xhr = new

  62. jQuery plugin. Just because.

  63. None
  64. None

  65. $.fn.fitText = function( kompressor, options ) { // Setup options

    var compressor = kompressor || 1, settings = $.extend({ 'minFontSize' : Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, 'maxFontSize' : Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY }, options); return this.each(function(){ // Store the object var $this = $(this); // Resizer() resizes items based on the object width divided by the compressor * 10 var resizer = function () { $this.css('font-size', Math.max(Math.min($this.width() / (compressor*10), parseFloat(settings.maxFontSize)), parseFloat(settings.minFontSize))); }; // Call once to set. resizer(); // Call on resize.

Opera debounces their resize by default. $(window).on('resize orientationchange', resizer); }); }; 1. extend 2. each 3. width 4. css

  70. $.fn.fitText = function( kompressor, options ) { // Setup options

    var compressor = kompressor || 1, settings = $.extend({ 'minFontSize' : Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, 'maxFontSize' : Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY }, options); return this.each(function(){ // Store the object var $this = $(this); // Resizer() resizes items based on the object width divided by the compressor * 10 var resizer = function () { $this.css('font-size', Math.max(Math.min($this.width() / (compressor*10), parseFloat(settings.maxFontSize)), parseFloat(settings.minFontSize))); }; // Call once to set. resizer(); // Call on resize. Opera debounces their resize by default. $(window).on('resize orientationchange', resizer); }); }; 1. extend 2. each 3. width 4. css 5. on

  71. if (options === undefined) { options = {}; } if

    (options.minFontSize === undefined) { options.minFontSize = Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY; } if (options.maxFontSize === undefined) { options.maxFontSize = Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY; } .extend becomes init default options

  72. // assuming polyfill or IE9+ nodes.forEach(function (node) { // where

    we used `this`, we now use `node` // ... }) .each becomes regular loop

  73. var resizer = function () { var width = node.clientWidth;

    // ... }; .width becomes .clientWidth property Note: clientWidth != .width() - but will do for our solution

  74. node.style.fontSize = Math.max(...); .css becomes se ing style property

  75. // assuming polyfill or IE9+ window.addEventListener('resize', resizer, false); .on becomes

    .addEventLister Polyfill: h ps://gist.github.com/eirikbacker/2864711

  76. Idea: Why not use PE to support jQuery?

  77. Recap querySelectorAll for DOM navigation Think about when to use

    jQuery / a library Ditch document.ready Use this.value Try .classList Really grok ajax No more JavaScript animations Maybe no-jQuery first?

  78. Your turn.
