Installation
shnpm install modujs
Why
Just what's missing from JavaScript to seamlessly work in a modular way with the DOM and ES modules.
- Automatically init visible modules.
- Easily call other modules methods.
- Quickly set scoped events with delegation.
- Simply select DOM elements scoped in their module.
Usage
Main file
jsimport modular from 'modujs'; import * as modules from './modules'; const app = new modular({ modules: modules }); app.init(app);
Module example
html<div data-module-example> <h2>Example</h2> <button data-example="button">Button</button> </div>
jsimport { module } from 'modujs'; export default class extends module { constructor(m) { super(m); this.events = { click: { button: 'doSomething' } } } doSomething() { console.log('Hello world'); } }
Modules file
jsexport {default as example} from './modules/example';
Objects
| Object | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
this.el | The module element. | this.el.classList.add('is-open') |
this.events | The module events. | this.events = { click: 'open' } |
Methods
| Method | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
this.$('query'[, 'context']) | Module scoped query selector. | this.$('dropdown', e.currentTarget) |
this.parent('name', 'context') | Module scoped parent selector. | this.parent('item', e.currentTarget) |
this.call('function', arg, 'module'[, 'id']) | Call another module method. | this.call('scrollTo', section, 'scroll', 'main') |
this.on('event', 'module', function[, 'id']) | Listen to another module event. | this.on('select', 'Select', this.changeSomething, 'first') |
this.getData('name'[, 'context']) | Get module or target data attribute. | this.getData('name', e.currentTarget) |
this.setData('name', 'value'[, 'context']) | Set module or target data attribute. | this.setData('name', 'value', e.currentTarget) |
Custom methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
init() { [...] } | Automatically called on app init. Use this instead of the constructor, if you want to use the methods above. |
destroy() { [...] } | Automatically called on app destroy. Use this if you need to destroy anything specific. The events are already destroyed. |
App methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
this.call('init', 'app') | Init all modules. |
this.call('update', scope, 'app') | Update scoped modules. |
this.call('destroy'[, scope], 'app') | Destroy all or scoped modules. |
Examples
Modal example
html<div data-module-modal="one"> <h2 data-modal="text">Modal</h2> <button data-modal="accept">Ok</button> <button data-modal="cancel">Cancel</button> </div>
jsimport { module } from 'modujs'; export default class extends module { constructor(m) { super(m); this.events = { click: { accept: 'accept', cancel: 'close' } } } init() { // Init is called automatically this.open(); } open() { this.el.classlist.add('is-open'); } accept() { this.$('text').textContent = 'Thank you!'; this.$('accept').style.display = 'none'; this.$('cancel').textContent = 'Close'; } close() { this.el.classlist.remove('is-open'); } }
Call example
html<div data-module-example> <button data-example="one">One</button> <button data-example="all">All</button> </div>
jsimport { module } from 'modujs'; export default class extends module { constructor(m) { super(m); this.events = { click: { one: 'openSpecificModal', all: 'openAllModals' } } } openSpecificModal() { this.call('open', false, 'modal', 'one'); } openAllModals() { this.call('open', 'modal'); } }
Accordion example
html<div data-module-accordion data-accordion-open="true"> <section data-accordion="section"> <header data-accordion="header"> <h2>Title</h2> </header> <div data-accordion="main"> <p>Content</p> </div> </section> <section data-accordion="section"> <header data-accordion="header"> <h2>Title</h2> </header> <div data-accordion="main"> <p>Content</p> </div> </section> </div>
jsimport { module } from 'modujs'; export default class extends module { constructor(m) { super(m); this.events = { click: { header: 'toggleSection' } } } init() { if (this.getData('open')) { this.$('section')[0].classList.add('is-open'); } } toggleSection(e) { const target = e.currentTarget; const section = this.parent('section', target); const main = this.$('main', target); if (section.classList.contains('is-open')) { section.classList.remove('is-open'); } else { this.$('section.is-open').classList.remove('is-open'); section.classList.add('is-open'); this.call('scrollto', section, 'scroll', 'main'); } } }
