conditioner-js v1.2.3

ConditionerJS

ConditionerJS is a JavaScript library for loading and unloading behavior based on the current user context.

Example

Load a Google Map module only if the screen is wider than 40em and the HTML element has been seen by the user.

<a href="http://maps.google.com/?ll=51.741,3.822"
   data-module="ui/Map"
   data-conditions="media:{(min-width:40em)} and element:{was visible}"> ... </a>

When the module has loaded ConditionerJS will automatically unload it once the conditions are no longer valid (for instance when the user resizes the viewport).

Installation

Package

npm install conditioner-js

bower install conditioner-js

Manual

Add the conditioner.js file (found in the dist/dev folder) to your project. You'll also have to add the monitors and utilities folder. The dev version of the conditioner framework includes logging statements, the dist/min folder contains a minimized version without these statements to limit file size.

Running tests

Run gulp test to spin up the test suite.

Requirements

Conditioner expects an AMD loader to be available. It's been tested with RequireJS, Almond and Curl. As long as your AMD loader follows the AMD spec it should be fine.

If you're not into AMD and prefer Browserify that's fine too but keep in mind that your optimized file should contain all modules. If you want the best of both worlds you might be interested in WebPack.

• AMD Loader / CommonJS Preprocessor
• Modern browser, IE8 is supported but requires a bit of shimming.
