Javascript Class

Rewrite this paragraph: jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript Library that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax interactions to your web pages. CodeIgniter provides a library to help you with certain common functions that you may want to use within jQuery. Please note that CodeIgniter does not require the jQuery library to run, and that any scripting library will work equally well. The jQuery library is simply presented as a convenience if you choose to use it.

Initializing the Class

To initialize the jQuery class manually in your controller constructor, use the $this->load->library function. Currently, the only available library is jQuery, which will automatically be loaded like this:

Once loaded, the jQuery library object will be available using: $this->javascript

Setup and Configuration

Set these variables in your view

As a javascript library, your files must be available to your application. For your convenience, the needed files to run this library are available for download from our site.

As javascript is a client side language, the library must be able to write content into your final output. This generally means a view. You'll need to include the following variables in the <head> sections of your output.

As Javascript is a client side language, the library must be able to write content into your final output. This generally means a view. You'll need to include the following variables in the <head> sections of your output.

$library_src, is where the actual library file will be loaded, as well as any subsequent plugin script calls; $script_head is where specific events, functions and other commands will be rendered.

Set the path to the librarys with config items

There are some configuration items in javascript library. These can either be set in application/config.php, within its own confg/javascript.php file, or within any controller usings the set_item() function.

There are some configuration items in Javascript library. These can either be set in application/config.php, within its own config/javascript.php file, or within any controller usings the set_item() function.

An image to be used as an "ajax loader", or progress indicator. Without one, the simple text message of "loading" will appear when Ajax calls need to be made.

$config['javascript_location'] = 'http://localhost/codeigniter/themes/js/jquery/');

 		$config['javascript_ajax_img'] = 'images/ajax-loader.gif';

If you keep your files in the same directories they were downloaded from, then you need not set this configuration items.

For information on outputting events, effects, etc., refer to the jQuery Class documentation.

The jQuery Class

To initialize the jQuery class manually in your controller constructor, use the $this->load->library function:

You may send an optional parameter to determine whether or not a script tag for the main jQuery file will be automatically included when loading the library. It will be created by default. To prevent this, load the library as follows:

jQuery Events

Effects

The query library supports a powerful Effects repertoire. Before an effect can be used, it must be loaded:

$this->jquery->effect([optional path] plugin name);
+// for example
+$this->jquery->effect('bounce');
+

hide() / show()

Each of this functions will affect the visibility of an item on your page. hide() will set an item invisible, show() will reveal it.

$this->jquery->hide(target,  optional speed, optional extra information);

+	$this->jquery->show(target,  optional speed, optional extra information);

toggle()

toggle() will change the visibility of an item to the opposite of its current state, hiding visible elements, and revealing hidden ones.

animate()

$this->jquery->animate(target, parameters, optional speed, optional extra information);

Here is an example of an animate() called on a div with an id of "note", and triggered by a click using the jQuery library's click() event.

 $params = array(

+	'height' => 80,

+	'width' => '50%',

+	'marginLeft' => 125

+);

+$this->jquery->click('#trigger', $this->jquery->animate('#note', $params, normal));

fadeIn() / fadeOut()

$this->jquery->fadeIn(target,  optional speed, optional extra information);

+	$this->jquery->fadeOut(target,  optional speed, optional extra information);

toggleClass()

fadeIn() / fadeOut()

$this->jquery->fadeIn(target,  optional speed, optional extra information);

+	$this->jquery->fadeOut(target,  optional speed, optional extra information);

slideUp() / slideDown() / slideToggle()

$this->jquery->slideUp(target,  optional speed, optional extra information);

+	$this->jquery->slideDown(target,  optional speed, optional extra information);

+$this->jquery->slideToggle(target,  optional speed, optional extra information);

The jQuery library is simply presented as a convenience if you choose to use it.

- -

Initializing the Class

- -

To initialize the jQuery class manually in your controller constructor, use the $this->load->library function:

- -$this->load->library('jquery'); - -

- -$this->load->library('jquery', FALSE); - -

Once loaded, the jQuery library object will be available using: $this->jquery

- -

Setup and Configuration

- -

As a javascript library, jquery.js must be available to your application. For your convenience, the needed files to run this library are available for download from our site.

- -

<?php echo $jquery_script;?> -<?php echo $script_head;?>

- -

There are 2 configuration items in jQuery library. These can either be set in application/config.php, or within any controller. The first is the path from the root of your site to the jquery library ('js' is the default) and the second is an image to be used as an "ajax loader", or progress indicator. Without one, the simple text message of "loading" will appear when Ajax calls need to be made.

- -

$config['javascript_folder'] = 'js'; - $config['javascript_ajax_img'] = 'images/ajax-loader.gif';

- -

If you keep your files in the same directories they were downloaded from, then you needed set this configuration items.

- -

Events

- -

Events are set using the following syntax.

- -

$this->jquery->event('element_path', code_to_run());

- -

In the above example:

- -

"event" is any of blur, change, click, dblclick, error, focus, hover, keydown, keyup, load, mousedown, mouseup, mouseover, mouseup, resize, scroll, or unload.
"element_path" is any valid jQuery selector. Due to jQuery's unique selector syntax, this is usually an element id, or CSS selector. For example "#notice_area" would effect <div id="notice_area">, and "#content a.notice" would effect all anchors with a class of "notice" in the div with id "content".
"code_to_run()" is script your write yourself, or an action such as an effect from the jQuery library below.
