CL-js
Below are the javascript files that form cl-js
library.
Individually
- CL-core.js
-
forms the first part of the CL.js library. Core focuses on the low level
plumbing of retrieving and pipelining data for processing.
- CL-ui.js
-
provides functions for generating ui elements as well as a simple
handlebars-like template substitution scheme for describing HTML
elements. E.g. a template string of
"<input value="{{catname}}"> which is given an object
like {"catname": "fred"} would be rendered
<input value="fred">. The substituion happens at
function envocation.
- CL-feeds.js
-
provides the low level content retrieval functions needed to integration
content from https://feeds.library.caltech.edu. If you are reading the
source to understand how to integrate content from
feeds.library.caltech.edu in other languages (e.g. Go, Python, PHP, R or
Julia) this is the place to look.
- CL-feeds-ui.js
-
forms third part of CL.js. It is UI focused. It wraps DOM manipulations
to provide support for configurable views of the data retrieved by
CL-feeds.js. It’s main purpose is to support building other widgets as
well as making the code generated by the widgets easy to understand when
embedding in your own pages.
All together
- CL.js
-
is a concatenation of CL-core.js, CL-ui.js, CL-feeds.js, and
CL-feeds-ui.js into a single file for
faster download.
Widgets are JavaScript libraries for generating HTML, CSS and
JavaScript for integrating system specific Caltech Library content
(e.g. feeds.library.caltech.edu).
- CL-BuilderWidget.js
-
is our first widget built to generate HTML and JavaScript to make it
easier to embed or re-use our content in your webpage. It makes
extensive use of CL.js. The generated code is for
making the library content embeddable in your own webpage.
