Records are pure JSON objects that have a 1:1 representation with function Javascript code, but, unlike imperative code, can be stored and manipulated as configuration. Records are tested with polymaps, openlayers, Modest Maps and Google Maps API v3, but the system (/lib/record.js) is generalized beyond mapping tools of any sort, to exist as a basic Javascript AST interpreter.
Currently records support several control techniques:
@new instantiates objects@chain runs functions, changing the value of this with each run@inject runs a function in a @chain without changing the reference to this@call runs a function from the global scope changing the value of this@literal allows an object attribute to be referenced@group runs a set of record statements (e.g. using the keywords above) in orderThese techniques (with arbitrary levels of nesting), are sufficient to construct maps in each mapping framework.
Samples of usage can be found in examples/. These depend on localizing copies of each API code.
To set up the examples first run:
make ext
Then check out the example html files.
For wax users, a minified library is already provided in build/.
But for developers you can rebuild a minified library by running:
make build
Install mainline UglifyJS:
npm install https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS/tarball/master
Make the combined & minified OpenLayers & Google Maps libraries:
rm -r build
make build
Wax uses docco for documention. Install it like:
npm install docco
Make the docs:
make doc
Wax includes two libraries in /lib which are included in builds
boxselect including removability..boxselect(function()).zoombox() and hash() controls for Modest Maps.Controls object are now lowercase.WaxProvider's signature: now takes an object of settings and supports multiple domains, filetypes and zoom restrictions.wax.g.MapType's signature: now accepts an object of settings in the same form as WaxProvider.interaction() now supports clicks, with the same clickAction setting as the OpenLayers version..fullscreen() sizing./examples directory: examples will be in manuals..legend(), .interaction(), .fullscreen(), and .zoomer() controls for Modest Maps.addedTooltip event to tooltip.js to allow for external styling code.addedtooltip event for binding/extending tooltip behavior.
