Reusable UI: jComponent v14

jComponent is aswesome client-side library for creating reusable JavaScript UI components. It's primary targeted for creating single page applications (SPA). New version 14 brings really great improvements.

• Documentation
• jComponent source-code on GitHub
• Components on GitHub

New improvements

• improved stability
• improved performance
• improved controllers and scopes
• improved compilation

New documentation

I have created a new jComponent documentation on Total.js Wiki. It's not completed, but I'll add missing things step-by-step.

New componentator

I have re-designed portal and now the portal supports real-time code modification of selected components like JS Fiddle. Componentator contains more than 100 jComponents and components are still growing.

Versioning

This version brings killer feature: versioning UI components. You can define same components in different version. For more info read jComponent documentation.

• Documentation

Declaration:

COMPONENT('textbox', function(self, config) {
    self.make = function() {
        console.log('textbox');
    };
});

COMPONENT('textbox@1', function(self, config) {
    self.make = function() {
        console.log('textbox v1');
    };
});

COMPONENT('textbox@2', function(self, config) {
    self.make = function() {
        console.log('textbox v2');
    };
});

// Or multiple version at once
COMPONENT('textbox, textbox@1, textbox@2', function(self, config) {
    self.make = function() {
        console.log('3 versions of textbox');
    };
});

Usage:

<!-- MAIN VERSION -->
<div data-jc="textbox"></div>

<!-- VERSION 1 -->
<div data-jc="textbox@1"></div>

<!-- VERSION 2 -->
<div data-jc="textbox@2"></div>

<script>
    // Travelsing for all version
    SETTER('textbox', 'setter', 'test');

    // Travelsing for version 1
    SETTER('textbox@1', 'setter', 'test');

    // Travelsing for version 2
    SETTER('textbox@2', 'setter', 'test');
</script>

All components on CDN

I have prepared CDN with all components. So you can import components which you are really need. Components are always up-to-date and they are stored under different versions.

• Documentation
• Live example

You can change repository to own:

// Default URL for fallback:
DEF.fallback = 'https://cdn.componentator.com/j-{0}.html';

New CDN

I have created a new CDN for jComponent and UI components registered on KeyCDN. For long term projects are prepared stable versions of components and main library:

• jQuery + jComponent + Tangular + jRouting v14 https://cdn.componentator.com/spa.min@14.js
• Bootstrap Grid System + Font-Awesome v14 https://cdn.componentator.com/spa.min@14.css
• Components in the form e.g. https://cdn.componentator.com/j-textbox@1.html

I recommend to use specific versions:

// Sets this version for all components
DEF.version = '1';

// or you can specify version for each component like this:
VERSION('textbox@1', 'dropdown@3', 'textarea@2');
