Xui-Framework

A 'MVC' javascript framework

Usage

Copy xui.js and its required framework: jquery and underscore to your app.

Example usage

In general, the functionalities of Xui are quite similar to Backbone framework.

Model

movie = Xui.Model.extend({
    defaults: {
        id: 0,
        summary: "",
        title: "",
        updated_at: "",
        img_url: "",
        user: {}
    },

    url: function() {
        return 'http://cs3213.herokuapp.com/movies/{0}.json'.format(this.id);
    }
});

movie.fetch();
console.log(movie.to_json());

View

movie_view = Xui.View.extend({
    template: JST["movie"],
    model: movie_model,
    render: function() {
        var renderedHtml = this.template(this.model.attributes);
        this.$el.html(renderedHtml);
        this.delegateEvents();
        return this;
    },
    events: {
        "click img#viewMovie": "viewMovieDetail"
    },
    viewMovieDetail: function() {
        mainRouter.navigate("movies/" + this.model.attributes.id, { trigger: true });
    }
});

Collection View

Pass in the subView as the view of each model for the collection view:

moviesView = Xui.CollectionView.extend({
    template: JST["movies"],
    subView: Xuimovie.Views.Movie,
    events: {
        "click a#new-movie-btn": "toNewMoviePage"
    },

    _navigateToPage: function(page) {
        this.undelegateEvents();
        mainRouter.navigate("/" + page, {
            trigger: true
        });
        this.destroy();
    },

    toNewMoviePage: function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        this._navigateToPage('new_movie');
    }
});

Router

router = Xui.Router.extend({
    routes: {
        ""                  : "mainPage",
        "#loggedout"        : "redirectToMain",
        "movies/:id"        : "getMovie",
        "movies/:id/#edit"  : "editMovie",
        "new_movie"         : "createMovie",
        ":moviePage"        : "mainPage"
    }
});
