shakakira / router.js-1

automatically instantiates your class and fires your method, usefull for Rails

Router.js

This allows you to include your js files and it will instantiate the correct javascript package/class based on the route you have in your config. this is helpful in frameworks where you don't really want to have to instantiate a different class for each page, and forces everyone to use correct packaging and naming conventions based on the controller / view you are currently on. It also allows you to have a default page, in this case AppPage which gets instantiate if there is no javascript controller class present.

example 1 with a nested package

<script src="dpm/app_page.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="dpm/admin/other_items_.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="../router.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  window.router = new window.Router('admin/items/index', dpm, dpm.AppPage);
</script>

the above would instantiate window.dpm.admin.Items javascript class, and fire the index method on that class

• the controller url will be modified to ControllerName from controller_name
• Namepsace is optional, just omit or pass in Null, and Router will use window as the namespace.
• Default Page is also optional, if you omit nothing will be instantiated if no Class.action match is found.

example 2 a controller action example

<script src="dpm/app_page.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="dpm/items.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="../router.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  window.router = new window.Router('items/index', dpm, dpm.AppPage);
</script>

Example use with Ruby On Rails, just put this script at the end of your layout and the router will instantiate the proper javascript class and fire the correlating action.

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  window.router = new window.Router('<%= "#{params[:controller]}/#{params[:action]}" %>', dpm, dpm.AppPage);
</script>
