Domr-a NPM | npm.io

Domr

Component Based JavaScript Micro-Framework equipped with a static Router. Made for modern web, it is powered by ES6 iteration of JavaScript and has a very little footprint.

Getting Started

Install Domr from npm.

npm i --save domr-a

Usage

domr modules can be called using ES6 import statement

import { Component } from 'domr-a';

Router

Built-in Hash Router with wild card and query support. Hot Content Swap which replaces div content rather than refreshing page on route change

import { Router } from 'domr-a';

const router = new Router();

const routes = [
  {
    path: '/counter/',
    view: Counter,
  },
  {
    path: '/got/:house/',
    view: DynamicRouteName,
  },
  {
    path: '/tree/',
    view: TreeView,
  },
  {
    path: '/404',
    view: Error404,
    isDefault: true,
  },
];

const config = {
 redirectDefault: true,
};

const router = new Router(routes, config);
router.start();

Params

config Optional parameter for Router() class in the form of an object

Option	Description
redirectDefault	set `true` to enable default redirection page
refreshPage	set `true` to disable hot content swap and enable full refresh instead
clearLog	set `true` to clear log after path change

Methods

.start() - Start Router .showRoutes() - Log the list of Routes

Data response

a function without () passed as view of a route gets route data as a response. and it can be passed as function parameter.

the url http://mysite/#/got/stark/?name=arya&alias=no_one with path set as /got/:house/ will generate response

{
  'path' : '/got/:house/',
  'metadata': {
    'house' : 'stark'
  },
  'query': {
    'name' : 'arya',
    'alias' : 'no one'
  }
}

Component

Element (javascript class) with support for events and different add methods

import{ Component } from 'domr-a';

export default class extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.orderno = 5;
  }

  dom() {
    return `
        <div class="examples-list" data-order="${this.orderno}">
          <h1>Examples</h1>
          <ul>
            Something
          </ul>
        </div>
    `;
  }
  
  events() {
    this.addEvent('click', (self, e) => {
      e.preventDefault();
      const parent = self.parentElement;

      parent.classList.toggle('expanded');
    });
  
  this.addEventOn('ul', 'mouseover', (self, e) => {
      console.log(self);
    });
  }
  
  delay() {
    console.log('I was delayed');
  }
}

import SomeComponent from './someLocation/SomeComponent';

const someComponent = new SomeComponent();

document.querySelector('.root-elm').innerHTML = someComponent.render();

Internal Methods

dom() Hosts and returns the HTML DOM structure.

events() Container for the built-in this.addEvent() and this.addEventOn() methods.

this.target() refers to self / top level element in dom()

this.addEvent() Specify events on the top level HTML element defined in dom()

this.addEvent({'Event Name'}, (self, e) => {});

this.addEventOn() Specify events on the child elements

this.addEventOn({'child tagname/class'}, {'Event Name'}, (self, e) => {});

delay() As the name suggests, delay() executes few seconds after rendering the dom() content.

Add/Render Methods

Renders Component and events to the given parent

.render() Replace innerHTML of the parent

const parent = document.querySelector('.root-elm');
parent.innerHTML = ourExtendedComponent.render();

.replaceContentOf() Replace innerHTML of the parent (same as .render())

const parent = document.querySelector('.root-elm');
ourExtendedComponent.replaceContentOf(parent);

.addTo() Add To (append to) the parent

const parent = document.querySelector('.root-elm');
ourExtendedComponent.addTo(parent);

.addFromStartTo() Add From Start To (prepend to) the parent

const parent = document.querySelector('.root-elm');
ourExtendedComponent.addFromStartTo(parent);

.addBefore() Add before a Sibling

const sibling= document.querySelector('.sibling');
ourExtendedComponent.addBefore(parent);

.addAfter() Add after a Sibling

const sibling= document.querySelector('.sibling');
ourExtendedComponent.addAfter(parent);

.replaceWith() Replace Sibling with ourExtendedComponent

const sibling= document.querySelector('.sibling');
ourExtendedComponent.replaceWith(parent);

DataComponent (beta)

A special element made for looping through ajax loaded JSON data. The best way to use it is to call it inside the delay() method of a regular Component()

import { DataComponent } from 'domr-a';

const JSON = `https://api.tvmaze.com/search/shows`

export default class extends DataComponent {
  constructor() {
    super(JSON);
  }

  dom(elm) {
    return `
        <div class="examples-list">
          <h1>${elm.name}</h1>
          <ul>
            ${elm.description}
          </ul>
        </div>
    `;
  }
  
  events() {
    this.addEvent('click', (self, e) => {
      e.preventDefault();
      const parent = self.parentElement;

      parent.classList.toggle('expanded');
    });
  
  this.addEventOn('ul', 'mouseover', (self, e) => {
      console.log(self);
    });
  }
  
  delay(elm) {
    console.log(elm);
  }
}

Adding it inside a Regular Component()'s delay() method.

import { Component } from 'domr-a';
import SomeDataCompoenent from './SomeDataCompoenent ';

export default class extends Component {
  constructor(showId) {
    this.showId = showId;
  }

  dom() {
    return `
      <div class="tv-show-extended-holder" id="tv-show-extended-holder">
      </div>
    `;
  }

  delay() {
    const target = this.target();
    const tvShowExtendedCard = new SomeDataCompoenent();
    tvShowExtendedCard.replaceContentOf(target);
  }
}
