Adding handlers and events to router

[Satya Suman Saridae]

Hi, can we add the events and the handler objects like the below

var eventsAndMethods = {};
eventsAndMethods.test = {};
eventsAndMethods.events = "bs";
eventsAndMethods.handler = "showIndexPage"; // This method will be available in the handlerObj

jqmRouterInstance.add([eventsAndMethods], handlerObj);

This is in continuation to the above question.I am trying to implement a wrapper over the jqmRouter for my application

var baseRouter =  (function(){
    var routeControllerObjStore = [];
    var jqmRouterInitialized = false;
    var registeredBeforeInitialize = false;
    var baseRouter = {
        version: "0.1",
        registerRouteController: function (routeControllerObj, handlerEventObjsArray) {
            registeredBeforeInitialize = !jqmRouterInitialized;
            var handlerEventArray = new RouterHelper(handlerEventObjsArray).processEventsObj();
            routeControllerObjStore.push({"controller":routeControllerObj, "handlerEventArray":handlerEventArray});
            if(jqmRouterInitialized)
                this.addToRouter(handlerEventArray, routeControllerObj);
        },
        addToRouter: function(handlerEventArray, routeControllerObj){
            this.jqmMobileRouter.add(handlerEventArray, routeControllerObj);
        },
        initializeRouter: function(){
            this.jqmMobileRouter = new $.mobile.Router();
            jqmRouterInitialized = true;
            var tempStore = routeControllerObjStore;
            routeControllerObjStore = [];
            if(registeredBeforeInitialize){
                $.each(tempStore, function(index, controllerObj){
                    baseRouter.addToRouter(controllerObj.handlerEventArray, controllerObj.controller);
                })
            }
        }
    }
    var RouterHelper = function(handlerEventObjsArray){
        this.processEventsObj = function(){
            var jqmRouteControllerObj = {};
            $.each(handlerEventObjsArray, function(index, handlerEventObj){
                jqmRouteControllerObj[handlerEventObj.url] = {handler:handlerEventObj.handler, events: handlerEventObj.events.join(",")};
            });
            return [jqmRouteControllerObj];
        }
    }
    return baseRouter;
});

RouteController = RouteController.extend({
name: "MBARouteController",
initialize: function(){
console.log("Initializing the MBA app route controller");
},
showIndexPage: function(){
console.log("showing the index page");
}
});
baseRouter.registerRouteController(new RouteController(), [{"url":"Test.html","handler":"showIndexPage","events":[Router.Events.PAGE_BEFORE_SHOW]}]);

However the event doesn't seem to be firing and there is no error on my console too. How can i check if the event has been added to JQM router with out any issue.

Hi,
the right syntax should be (I've changed the example a little):

var eventAndMethod = {}, eventAndMethod2 = {};
eventAndMethod["/test.html"] = {};
eventAndMethod["/test.html"].events = "bs";
eventAndMethod["/test.html"].handler = "showIndexPage";
eventAndMethod2["/test2.html"] = {};
eventAndMethod2["/test2.html"].events = "bs";
eventAndMethod2["/test2.html"].handler = "showIndexPage2";

jqmRouterInstance.add([eventAndMethod, eventAndMethod2], handlerObj);

If you still have problems with your code, please write again and I'll dig some more into your code.

Cheers,
Andrea
