jQuery Design Patterns

By: Greasidis

Overview of this book

jQuery is a feature-rich JavaScript library that makes HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a variety of browsers. With a combination of versatility and extensibility, jQuery has changed the way that millions of people write JavaScript. jQuery solves the problems of DOM manipulation, event detection, AJAX calls, element selection and document queries, element attribute and data management, as well as object management utilities. This book addresses these problems and shows you how to make the best of jQuery through the various design patterns available. The book starts off with a refresher to jQuery and will then take you through the different design patterns such as facade, observer, publisher/subscriber, and so on. We will also go into client-side templating techniques and libraries, as well as some plugin development patterns. Finally, we will look into some best practices that you can use to make the best of jQuery.

What you need for this book

In order to run the examples in this book, you will need to have a web server installed on your system to serve the code files. For example, you can use Apache or IIS or NGINX. In order to make the installation process of Apache easier, you can use more complete development environment solutions, such as XAMPP or WAMP Server.

In terms of technical proficiency, this book assumes that you already have some experience of working with jQuery, HTML, CSS, and JSON. All the code samples in the book use jQuery v2.2.0 and some of the chapters also discuss the respective implementation in jQuery v1.12.0, which can be used in case support for older browsers is needed.
