Enumerables/Arrays

['Austria','Europe','World'].map(function(location){
return 'Hello '+location+'!';
}).sortBy(Math.random).invoke('toUpperCase').join(' ');

"HELLO WORLD! HELLO AUSTRIA! HELLO EUROPE!"


returns a new array
Array#map




Math.random is a
standard
JavaScript
functions returns
number [0..1]



Array#sortBy
sorts by the result
order given by
calling a function
reference



Array#invoke
call a method on
each item




Array#join
join items in a
string (standard
JavaScript)



√ No need for loop variables
√ Much higher readability than
“classic” statement-based
iteration
√ Object-oriented and extensible

√ Shorter code (chaining)


Why Frameworks?

√ DOM API is clunky
√ Cross-browser differences
√ Utility functions
√ “Don’t repeat yourself”

// DOM API
document.getElementById('some_element').style.display = 'none';


// DOM API
document.getElementById('some_element').style.display = 'none';

// Prototype
$('some_element').hide();


“hide all p elements that have a
‘important’ CSS class”

$$('p.important').invoke('hide');

CSS selector

/**
* Element#morph(@element, style[, options]) -‐> element
*
* Dynamically adjust an element's CSS styles to the CSS properties given
* in the `style` argument.
*
* This method is the preferred way to invoke CSS-‐based effects:
*
* $('element_id').morph('width:500px');
* $('element_id').morph('width:500px', 'slow');
* $('element_id').morph('width:500px', function(){ alert('finished!'); });
* $('element_id').morph('width:500px', 2); // duration 2 seconds
*
* Complex options can be specified with an Object literal:
*
* $('element_id').morph('width:500px;height:500px', {
* duration: 4,
* transition: 'linear',
* delay: .5,
* propertyTransitions: {
* width: 'mirror', height: 'easeInOutCirc'
* },
* after: function(){ alert('finished'); }
* });
*
* Morphs can be chained:
*
* // the height morph will be executed immediately following
* // the width morph
* $('element_id').morph('width:500px').morph('height:500px');
*
* By default, `morph` will create a new [[S2.FX.Queue]] for the
* element if there isn't on already, and use this queue for queueing
* up chained morphs. To prevent a morph from queuing at the end,
