norjs

A lightweight (~1.3KB) easy to use Javascript Library to build fast web applications

Support: (IE 10+, Firefox 3.6+, Chrome 8+, Safari 5.1+, Opera 12.1+)

How to install

Just bind it in the 'head' or generally before you wanna use it

<head>
  ...
  <script src="nor.js"></script>
</head>

How to use it

Events

// adding a event to an element with an id
nor.on("#someId", "click", (event, element) => {
    /* do your thing */
});

// adding multiple functions with multiple triggers
nor.on("#someId", {mouseenter: someFunction, click: clickFunction});

// target multiple elements with a single event manager
nor.on([".side-bar", ".toggle-button"], {
  click (e, btn) {
    btn.classList.toggle("open");
  }
});

// handle an event once and once only
const newsComponent = document.querySelector('.news-component')

nor.once(newsComponent, 'dataLoaded', ({detail: {data}}, el) => {
  newsComponent.removeSkeleton()
  newsComponent.populate(data)
})

// emit a custom event after fetching some data using .request and .emit
nor.request('/news/latest/', data => {
  nor.emit(newsComponent, 'dataLoaded', {data: JSON.parse(data)})
})

The event function returns a manager/handler object.

var manager = nor.event('#someId', 'click', e => {
  console.log('ya clicked me! What say you?')
});

manager.off() // stops listening to events
manager.on() // start listening again
manager.once() // listen once and then stop

// add another listener to the previous listener's target(s)
nor.once(manager.target, 'i-say', e => {
  console.log(`I say ${e.detail}`);
})

// emit a custom event on the target element
// straight from the event manager
// .emit(eventName: String, =detail: Any)
manager.emit(
  'i-say',
  'event handling and emitting has never been this easy'
)

// do stuff with the event's target element
manager.target.style.color = 'red';

Create HTML Objects

// create a simple HTML Heading 1 Element
var myBigTitle = nor.createObject("h1", "An awesome title");

// ...lets make it a little bit complex
var myContainer = nor.createObject("div", {
  id: "main-container", // set the id
  className: "container flex", // give it some classes
  'data-somedata': 12, // add a data attribute
  parent: document.body, // attach this element to the DOM via document.body
  style:  "background-color:red;color:yellow" // and some stylistic flair
  on: { // add some events
    scroll: smoothScrollingMagicFunction
  }
},
  myBigTitle // this is our title we created before
);

Now you may want to dynamically add more child nodes created asynchronously

setTimeout(() => { // no problem at all
  nor.createObject("h2", {parent: myContainer}, "A subtitle");
});

And Voila! In the <body> you should now see

<div id="main-container" class="flex container" data-somedata="12" style="background-color:red;color:yellow">
  <h1>An awesome title</h1>
  <h2>A subtitle</h2>
</div>

Ajax Calls (httpRequest)

// make a GET call and see what it returns
nor.request("http://localhost/somephpFileorSomethingElse.txt", success, "GET");
function success(result) {
  console.log(result); // <- result = (request.responseText)
}

// you can send parameters too
nor.request("http://localhost/getUserData.php", iGotTheUser, "POST", "userId="+userId);
function iGotTheUser(user) {
  // do something with user e.g.
  // var myUser = JSON.parse(user);
}

Overview

nor.event/on/once(target String|EventTarget|Array, type String|Object, =handle Function, =options Object|Boolean);

nor.event(document, 'DOMContentLoaded', e => {/* do something on load */})

const manager = nor.on('.cards', {
  animationEnd (event, element) {
    element.classList.remove('shuffle-effect')
  }
})

manager.target // <- EventTarget|NodeList|EventTargets[]

if (catastrophyOccurs) {
  manager.off();
  Array.from(manager.target).forEach(card => {
    card.remove();
  })
}

if (miracleHappens) {
  const deck = document.querySelector('.deck')
  deck.append(...manager.target)
  manager.on(); // listen again
}

nor.createObject(tag String, =config Object, ...children String|Node|Array|Function);

var myTitle = nor.createObject("h1", {
  className: "foo bar",
  style: "color:#4a4; font-size:18px",
  parent: document.body // NOTE: attribute order doesn't matter
},
  "An awesome title"
);

nor.request(url String, callback Function, =method String, =params Any);

  // NOTE: The default method is "GET"
  nor.request('https://imgur.com/random', handleImageDataAndAppendImageToDom);
