jquery-boot v1.1.0

Introduction

It's a manager that allows you to register jobs to be executed when the page is loaded and at will in case you're appending elements to the DOM later. It's useful when you're cloning elements that need to be manipulated by those some jobs that were executed when the page was loaded.

Registering a Job

This job will be executed automatically once the page is loaded:

jQuery.register('buttons', function ($) {
    this.find('button').each(function () {
        // Do something about these buttons...
    });
});

jQuery.register('inputs', function ($) {
    this.find(':input').each(function () {
        // Do something about these inputs...
    });
});

The keyword this refers to the current scope given by the method boot. If not supplied, jQuery(document) will take place.

Manually Booting Jobs

jQuery.get('/a-piece-of-page', function (source) {
    var choice,
        piece = $(source).appendTo(document.body);

    switch (choice) {
        case 'boot-all-jobs':
            return jQuery.boot(piece);

        case 'boot-one-job':
            return jQuery.boot(piece, 'buttons');

        case 'boot-some-jobs':
            return jQuery.boot(piece, ['buttons', 'inputs']);

        case 'boot-some-jobs-with-unbind':
            return jQuery.boot(piece, ['buttons', 'inputs'], true);

        case 'boot-all-jobs-from-element':
            return piece.boot();

        case 'boot-one-job-from-element':
            return piece.boot('buttons');

        case 'boot-some-jobs-from-element':
            return piece.boot(['buttons', 'inputs']);

        case 'boot-some-jobs-from-element-with-unbind':
            return piece.boot(['buttons', 'inputs'], true);

        default:
            return jQuery.boot(); // Boot everything again... I don't know why.
    }
});

The argument unbind of the method boot allows you to unbind all the handlers of the given scope.
