jQuery and “Organized Code”

问题


I've been struggling lately with understanding the best way to organize jQuery code. I asked another question earlier and I don't think I was specific enough (found in this question here).

My problem is that the richer you make an application, the quicker your client side gets out of control. Consider this situation...

//Let's start some jQuery
$(function() {        
    var container = $("#inputContainer");

    //Okay let's list text fields that can be updated
    for(var i=0; i < 5; i++) {

        //okay let's add an event for when a field changes
        $("<input/>").change(function() {

            //okay something changed, let's update the server
            $.ajax({
                success:function(data) {

                    //Okay - no problem from the server... let's update
                    //the bindings on our input fields
                    $.each(container.children(), function(j,w) {

                        //YIKES!! We're deep in here now!!
                        $(w).unbind().change(function() {

                            //Then insanity starts...

                        }); // end some function

                    }); //end some loop

                } // what was this again?

            }); //ending something... not sure anymore

        }).appendTo(container); //input added to the page... logic WAY split apart

    }; //the first loop - whew! almost out!

});  //The start of the code!!

Now this situation isn't too far from impossible. I'm not saying this is the right way to do it, but it's not uncommon to find yourself several levels down into a jQuery command and starting to wonder how much more logic can add before the screen begins to melt.

My question is how are people managing this or organizing to limit the complexity of their code?

I listed how I'm doing it in my other post...


回答1:


Just want to add to what was mentioned previously that this:

$.each(container.children(), function(j,w) {
    $(w).unbind().change(function() { ... });
});

can be optimized to:

container.children().unbind().change(function() { ... });

It's all about chaining, a great way to simplify your code.

So far, I do it like this:

// initial description of this code block
$(function() {        
    var container = $("#inputContainer");

    for(var i=0; i < 5; i++) {
        $("<input/>").changed(inputChanged).appendTo(container);
    }; 

    function inputChanged() {
        $.ajax({
            success: inputChanged_onSuccess
        });
     } 

     function inputChanged_onSuccess(data) {
        $.each(container.children(), function(j,w) {
          $(w).unbind().changed(function() {
             //replace the insanity with another refactored function
          });
        });
      }
});

In JavaScript, functions are first-class objects and can thus be used as variables.

Well, for one, having a good IDE that understands javascript can help tremendously, even if just to identify matching demarcations (braces, parens, etc).

If your code starts to really get that complex, consider making your own static object to organize the mess - you don't have to work so hard to keep everything anonymous.

var aCustomObject = {
    container: $("#inputContainer"),
    initialize: function()
    {
        for(var i=0; i < 5; i++)
        {
            $("<input/>").changed( aCustomObject.changeHandler );
        }
    },
    changeHandler: function( event )
    {
        $.ajax( {success: aCustomObject.ajaxSuccessHandler} );
    },
    ajaxSuccessHandler: function( data )
    {
        $.each( aCustomObject.container.children(), aCustomObject.updateBindings )
    },
    updateBindings: function( j, w )
    {
        $(w).unbind().changed( function(){} );
    }
}
aCustomObject.initialize();

In my opinion the method described by BaileyP is what I use to start off with then I normally abstract everything into more re-usable chunks, especially when some functionality expands to the point where it's easier to abstract it into a plugin then have it specific to one site.

As long as you keep the large blocks of code in a seperate file and coded nicely you can then end up with some really clean syntax.

// Page specific code
jQuery(function() {
    for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
         $("<input/>").bindWithServer("#inputContainer");
    }
});

// Nicely abstracted code
jQuery.fn.bindWithServer = function(container) {
     this.change(function() {
             jQuery.ajax({
                 url: 'http://example.com/',
                 success: function() { jQuery(container).unbindChildren(); }
             });
     });
}
jQuery.fn.unbindChildren = function() {
    this.children().each(function() {
        jQuery(this).unbind().change(function() {});
    });
}

Somebody wrote a post on the similar topic.

jQuery Code Does not have to be Ugly

For instance, the author, Steve Wellens, suggests to not use anonymous functions, as it makes code harder to read. Instead, push the function reference into the jQuery methods, like so:

$(document).ready(DocReady);

function DocReady()
{       
    AssignClickToToggleButtons();
    ColorCodeTextBoxes();
}

Another takeaway from the article is to assign a jQuery object to a concrete variable, which makes the code look cleaner, less dependent on the actual jQuery object, and easier to tell what a certain line of code is doing:

function ColorCodeTextBoxes()
{
    var TextBoxes = $(":text.DataEntry");

    TextBoxes.each(function()
    {
        if (this.value == "")
            this.style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
        else
            this.style.backgroundColor = "White";
    });
}

Stick some of the anon functions into global scope functions (or your own "namespace" object), especially the re-used functions, and it begins to look less like what you posted. Kind of like what you linked to.

I described my approach in your other post. Short form:

  • do not mix javascript and HTML
  • use classes (basically start to see your application as a collection of widgets)
  • only have a single $(document).ready(...) block
  • send jQuery instances into your classes (instead of using plugins)

Use http://coffeescript.com/ ;)

$ ->
  container = $ '#inputContainer'
  for i in [0...5]
    $('<input/>').change ->
      $.ajax success: (data) ->
        for w in container.children()
          $(w).unbind().change ->
            alert 'duh'
