Amelie.JS

Minimalistic lib for organising Javascript code in your applications. The idea behind this, is to create a simple way to organise Javascript code in applications like Wordpress. Since WP already handles Templates, Routing and Data, only thing missing is organisation and event handling. Exactly what Amelie.JS provides. Only dependency is jQuery.

Syntax

var MyApp = Amelie.extend({

  // If el exists, binds the events to el, otherwise to document
  el: '.my-class',

  // 'eventType selector': 'callback function'
  events: {
    'click .hello': 'helloClicked'
  },

  // Automatically initialized upon literal creation
  initialize: function() {
    this.sayHello();
  },

  //Sample Method
  sayHello: function() {
    alert('Hello');
  },

  // Callback Function
  helloClicked: function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    alert('Hello Clicked');
  }

});

Example

var Page = Amelie.extend();

var Homepage = Page.extend({
  modal: {},

  el: '.homepage',

  events: {
    'click .homepageModal': 'triggerModal'
  },

  initialize: {
    this.modal = new Modal();
  },

  triggerModal: function(e) {
    e.preventDefault(e);
    this.modal.open();
  }
});
