Find out what the inspiration was for jsbin. Find out how you can use jsbin to share JavaScript code with others. What is planned for future features and the challenges in making jsbin work on mobile devices like iPad/iPhone.

Plugin of the week

Signs of a poorly written jQuery Plugin

When you’re evaluating plugins for use in your application how do you know if the plugin you are using is any good. Remy Sharp wrote up a quick guide of some “red flags” to look for in poorly written plugins. Here are just a couple great tips on things to look for in a poor plugin:

Double jQuery
When you create a function on the jQuery.fn namespace this actually refers to the jQuery Collection being passed in so there is no need to wrap it again in a jQuery wrapper.

Wasteful each
Don’t bind an event on each element individually within the jQuery collection just bind it to the whole collection and forget the each. Binding it to each item individually is wasteful and slow.

“jQuery Theme” created by Jonathan Neal

Microsoft has submitted it’s second proposal to the jQuery Project outlining a plugin that allows properties within objects to be linked to each other. Termed “data linking”, the new plugin would allow changes made to a property of one object to effect a change on the property of a secondary object. The plugin leverages jQuery’s “special events” API to create a new event that will trigger when a change occurs on a bound object property. This would allow a developer to link properties in the following way:

var person = {};

$(“#name”).linkTo(“val”, person, “name”);

$(“#name”).val(“foo”);

alert(person.name); // foo

// … user changes value …
alert(person.name); // user typed value

The proposal has been submitted via the jQuery forums and Microsoft is actively soliciting community feedback:

http://forum.jquery.com/topic/proposal-for-adding-data-linking-to-jquery

A prototype of the data linking is available for review via Github:

http://github.com/nje/jquery-datalink

We’re pleased to see Microsoft’s continued contribution to our open source community and ask that you provide feedback in guiding this effort along.

This week we have our second Rey Bomb episode and we discuss JSConf, Microsoft/jQuery relationship, Rey’s new job at Microsoft, the jQuery Conference that starts this weekend and news with Elijah.

Ralph’s Plugin of the week

The jQuery UI Growl is a plugin that uses the jQuery UI Modal Widget to simulate the Mac Growl notification effect. This plugin takes advantage of the jQuery Theme Roller, so you can easily change the look and feel of the plugin.

Elijah mentioned that you may also want to take a look at the Pines Notify jQuery Plugin, which also has jQuery Theme Roller support. In addition you can always check out the classic jGrowl jQuery Plugin.

Elijah’s Tutorial of the week

We briefly covered the topic of the jQuery Templating Proposal a couple of weeks ago, but this past week a short screencast was posted on Nettuts+ by Andrew Burgess entitled Quick Tip: An Introduction to jQuery Templating. In the short 5 minute screencast Andrew shows how to render the template, how to pass options, and how to reference the template index value. It is important to note that the content covered is currently only a proposal and the final Templating piece may be different from what is shown.
