avoid-js

AvoidJS is a simple experimental library the main purpose of which is too provide a tool and the code style that helps to separate HTML and JS code completely.

Overview

Actions and Events instead of interacting with UI from JavaScript.

So if regular JS code usually looks like this:

if(myObject.doSomething()) {
	something.show(".success");
} else {
	something.show(".failed");
}

With AvoidJS it can be like this:

if(myObject.doSomething()) {
	AvoidJS.Eventer.fire(AvoidJS.Events.MyComponent.success, {
		message: "We good."
	});
} else {
	AvoidJS.Eventer.fire(AvoidJS.Events.MyComponent.failed, {
		message: "That's not good."
	});
}

<div class="success" 
     avj-action="hide, draw" 
     avj-draw-wait="event" 
     avj-draw-event-when="AvoidJS.Events.MyComponent.success" 
     avj-draw-content="this" 
     avj-draw-after="show">
	{{event.message}}
</div>
<div class="error" 
     avj-action="hide, draw" 
     avj-draw-wait="event" 
     avj-draw-event-when="AvoidJS.Events.MyComponent.failed" 
     avj-draw-content="this" 
     avj-draw-after="show">
	{{event.message}}
</div>

With this approach JS code can be 100% UI-agnostic and only be responsible for application logic, while HTML code becomes explicit and straightforward about UI dynamics.
