Stay

Stay is a small but effective module for the creation of dynamic xhr-driven web applications. It expects the server to be able to send the page content as a JSON string in which the key names correspond with the IDs of the target DOM containers.

Installation

Download the minified library and include it in your project:

<script src="/js/stay.min.js"></script>

You can also install this module with npm.

$ npm install @zayesh/stay

Usage

import Stay from "@zayesh/stay";

var stay = new Stay({

	// Logs to console by default
	stderr: "myDomElement",

	// Default is "/json"
	infix: "/urlPatternForAsyncRequests",

	// Default is 60000ms, 0 means no timeout
	timeoutPost: 0,

	// Default is 5000ms
	timeoutGet: 0,

	// Default is true
	autoUpdate: false

});

stay.addEventListener("navigate", function() {

	alert("Page navigation has started.");

});

stay.addEventListener("receive", function(event) {

	/* If autoUpdate is set to false, the programmer can 
	 * decide when to update the page content.
	 * The response is the parsed JSON string from the server.
	 */

	stay.update(event.response);

});

stay.addEventListener("load", function() {

	alert("The requested page has been loaded.");

});
