Choosery

A jQuery plugin to activate certains element based on the current URL.

Building

Use gulp and just type gulp to build the source. The output will be placed in the dist directory. The dist directory is tracked, you may also skip the building steps and just use the js in the dist directory.

Quick Example

<ul class="list-group" id="navs">
    <li data-choosery-url="my/home$" class="list-group-item">Home Sweet Home</li>
    <li data-choosery-url="my/open$" class="list-group-item">Open the Door</li>
    <li data-choosery-url="my/save$" class="list-group-item">Save the World</li>
    <li data-choosery-url="my/ok$" class="list-group-item">OK vs KO</li>
    <li data-choosery-url="my/cancel$" class="list-group-item">Cancel the Dinner</li>
    <li data-choosery-url="my/abort$" class="list-group-item">Abort World.exe</li>
</ul>

 $('#navs').choosery({
            target: 'li'
        });
    });

It means all li inside #navs will be activated if the current URL match with its data-choosery-url attributes.
