Category: JavaScript
, Library, Prototype
<
>p
>James Coglan has ported ideas from ideas from Ruby's Symbol#to_proc and
Methodphitamine to create
Reiterate, a library for Prototype.
The library means that instead of code like this:
JAVASCRIPT:
-
-
var value = radioGroup.find(function(radio) {
-
return radio.checked;
-
}).value;
-
-
var divs = someDivs.findAll(function(div) {
-
return div.hasClassName('myClass') && div.visible();
-
});
-
you can write:
JAVASCRIPT:
-
-
var value = radioGroup.find('checked').value;
-
-
var divs = someDivs.findAll({hasClassName: 'myClass', visible: true});
-
Download Reiterate.

forget jqueery.
have you guys tried moo?
sorry, couldn’t resist.
@Glen, you must mean more like ruby. This has nothing todo with another framework, ktnxbye
@Steve: how can I go to my boss and tell him we should try a library called ‘Moo Tools’? You guys need a better name to be taken seriously.
@Les, i was just kidding about the moo comment. i think the framework wars are pretty silly (as is the name “moo”)
@Glen: indeed, I had some strange déja vu feeling ;-)
@Steve and @Frank: mootools = my object oriented tools, if your boss makes his decisions based on how cool of a name something has, then I suggest you find a new job … since the company won’t be around for much long.
Woopsie … I need more sleep … above comment for Steve and Les … sorry Frank … blah! Ajaxian needs a better comment system, like the one on Engadget, where you can reply to comments.
jquery
@Marat
Considering that Ruby on Rails is usually used based on the name or hype rather than an actual business case, maybe judging by a name isn’t so bad. ;-)
Plus, mootools sounds pretty cool.
You could just call it “moot-ools”. Now that is just Moot ools of fun… :)
Thanks for that
