fruitmachine-ftdomdelegate

fruitmachine-ftdomdelegate

A ftdomdelegate FruitMachine helper.

This helper:

• Instantiates the dom-delegate when a fruitmachine module is instantiated;
• Binds that dom-delegate to the module's El when the fruitmachine module is setup;
• Unbinds the dom-delegate instance from the El when the fruitmachine module fires its teardown event;
• And destroys the dom-delegate when the fruitmachine module is destroyed.

Usage examples

var Apple = fruitmachine.define({
  name: 'apple',
  helpers: [require('fruitmachine-ftdomdelegate')],
  initialize: function() {
    this.onButtonClick = this.onButtonClick.bind(this);
  },
  setup: function() {
    this.delegate.on('click', 'button', this.onButtonClick);
  },
  onButtonClick: function() {
    this.fire('buttonclick');
  }
});

Note: as long as you properly destroy your fruitmachine modules after you're finished with them, you need not worry about detached DOM nodes because dom-delegate will ensure any event listeners added are removed when destroy is called on it.

Demonstration 'todo' app

There is a rework of the TODO example from the main fruitmachine project.

The modules that make use of the fruitmachine-ftdomdelegate helper are located here and here.
