Bind 6
Bind 6 builded from scratch and it's something different compared to earlier versions. The main concept of Bind is to bind between dom elements and js variables and methods.
- Dom and BindData (form v5, will be published as separated package)
Bind includes 3 classes:
- Bind - for bind variables in frontend
- BindCollection - for bind collection on frontend
- BindNode - for building binds in node.js and then managing it on frontend
Basics
After you have install Bind, include the script in your html and run Bind.bind(vars:object) with your vars.
Then, just give bind name to element, and add your variables anywhere on any attribute or innerHTML.
Here is the example, how it works:
<head>
<script src="node_modules/als-bind/bind.js"></script>
<script>Bind.bind({test:'Hello world',testClass:'test'})</script>
</head>
<body>
<div bind="test" class="some {{ testClass }} some1">some {{ $test }} some</div>
<button onclick="Bind.vars.$test = 'Hello again'">change</button>
</body>As shown on example above, variable test inside vars binded on element with bind="test". And can be changed by Bind.vars.$test to any other string.
Bind.vars includes all vara you have addede with bind method, but in addition if variable is binded, it has the setter with $ too.
For example, you can do the folowing
Bind.vars.$test = Bind.vars.test + 'Have a good day'.Variables inside objects
You can bind variables from objects and arrays. Here is example how it works:
<script>
let users = [{name:'Alex', age:20}]
Bind.bind({users})
</script>
<div bind="test">Hello {{ $users[0].name }}. You are {{ $users[0].age }} years old.</div>
<input type="text" oninput="Bind.vars.users[0].$name = this.value">Methods inside binds
You can add any method you want, like this:
<script>
function hello(name,age) {
return `Hello ${name}. You are ${age} years old.`
}
let users = [{name:'Alex', age:20}]
Bind.bind({users,hello})
</script>
<div bind="test">{{ Bind.vars.hello($users[0].name,$users[0].age) }}</div>
<div bind="test1">{{ $hello($users[0].name,$users[0].age) }}</div>
<div bind="test2">{{ hello($users[0].name,$users[0].age) }}</div>
<input bind="input" type="text"
oninput="Bind.vars.users[0].$name = this.value"
value="{{$users[0].name}}">On example above, shown that you can use fuction from Bind.vars (test and test1) or as function outside the Bind (test2). Also, you can bind the same variables on other binded elements too (bind=input,test,test1,test2)
Binded elements
All binded elements stored inside Bind.binds as Bind.binds{bindName:element}.
For example you can do the folowing:
Bind.binds.test2.remove()Bind innerHtml with elements
In case you bind variable inside child of bind element, every time you set new value, all bind element changing.
<div bind="test">
some
<span>{{$test}}</span>
some
</div>On example above, every time you will change Bind.vars.$test, [bind="test"]'s innerHtml will change include the element inside.
BindCollection
BindCollection is a separated class inside bind.js. To use it, you need to set seccond parameter on Bind.bind as true and then to use template for bindidng array.
Here is the example:
<script>
Bind.bind(
{colors:['red','green','blue']},
true
)
</script>
<body>
<template collection-template="colors">
<div>
<span bind="color" style="color:{{ $colors[index] }};">{{ $colors[index] }}</span>
</div>
</template>
</body>On example above, second parameter is true, and Bind look for template[collection-template] elements.
It takes first element in template as template and then place binded clones before the template element.
Now you can mange the collection with :
Collection methods:
Bind.vars.colors.remove(index)
Bind.vars.colors.add(object)
Bind.vars.colors.next(index)
Bind.vars.colors.prev(index)
Bind.vars.colors.move(from,to)index stored in clone main element as clone.index.
Here another example:
<script src="users.js"></script>
<script>Bind.bind({
users,
getUserName: index => Bind.vars.users[index].name,
},true)</script>
</head>
<body>
<template collection-template="users">
<div>
<div id="test">Some</div>
<div bind="user">User name: {{ $users[index].name }}</div>
<div bind="user">User name: {{ $users[index].age }}</div>
<button onclick="console.log(this.parentNode.index)">index</button>
<button onclick="Bind.vars.users.remove(this.parentNode.index)">remove</button>
<button onclick="Bind.vars.users.prev(this.parentNode.index)">prev</button>
<button onclick="Bind.vars.users.next(this.parentNode.index)">next</button>
</div>
</template>
<hr>
<div><input type="text" oninput="Bind.vars.users[2].$name = this.value"></div>
<div><button onclick="add()">Add</button></div>
<script>
function add() {
Bind.vars.users.add({
"age": 25,
"name": "Super puper",
})
}
</script>
</body>BindNode
let BindNode = require('als-bind')
let newDocument = BindNode.bind(/*html*/`
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script src="/node_modules/als-bind/bind.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div bind="aa">{{ $hello($user.name,$user.age) }}</div>
<div bind="aa1">{{ $user.name }}</div>
<button onclick="Bind.vars.user.$age = Bind.vars.user.age+1">older</button>
<button onclick="Bind.vars.user.$age = Bind.vars.user.age-1">younger</button>
</div>
<input bind="input" type="text" oninput="Bind.vars.user.$name = this.value" value="{{ $user.name }}">
</body>
</html>
`,{
user:{name:'Alex',age:35},
hello:(name,age)=>`Hello ${name}. How are you? Your age is ${age}.`,
})
require('fs').writeFileSync('test.html',newDocument)
