Version 3.10.3
Example: Adding Node Content - Burger Builder
This example demonstrates how to insert content when working with NodeList instances.
Click buttons to build your burger.
Setting up the NodeList
First we need some HTML to work with.
<ul class="demo">
<li class="bun-top"><img src="assets/images/bun_top.png"/></li>
<li class="bun-bottom"><img src="assets/images/bun_bottom.png"/></li>
</ul>
Next we'll add some buttons to be clicked.
<ul class="buttons-list">
<li><button class='yui3-button patty'> Patty · Before Last Bun</button></li>
<li><button class='yui3-button lettuce'> Lettuce · Before Last Bun</button></li>
<li><button class='yui3-button cheese' disabled="disabled"> Cheese · Before First Patty</button></li>
<li><button class='yui3-button tomato'> Tomato · After First Bun</button></li>
<li><button class='yui3-button onions'> Onions · After First Bun</button></li>
<li><button class='yui3-button pickles'> Pickles · After First Bun</button></li>
<li><button class='yui3-button ketchup'> Ketchup · After First Bun</button></li>
<li><button class='yui3-button done'> Done</button></li>
<li><button class='yui3-button another'> Another Please</button></li>
</ul>
Adding Content
After defining some vars, we'll
add a buttonClicks handler to run when an event is fired.
It will add content to the demo node.
Note that the this in the handler is the object that was clicked.
var demo = Y.one('.demo'),
btnList = Y.all('.buttons-list .yui3-button'),
...;
// This inserts burger parts and manages the display of buttons
var buttonClicks = function (e) {
var obj;
if (this.hasClass('patty')) {
// Create a node with an image of the burger part
obj = Y.Node.create('<li class="patty"><img src="' + imgPath + 'burg_patty.png"/></li>');
// Insert it before the bottom bun
demo.insert(obj, Y.one('.bun-bottom'));
// ...
} else if // other buttons follow...
The handler inserts different objects into the demo container object
in different places based on these methods:
prepend- as firstChildappend- as lastChildinsert- before a specified node or childNode index
Attaching Events
We assign our handler to all of the yui3-button objects through
event subscription to the matching selector.
Y.on('click', buttonClicks, '.example .buttons-list .yui3-button');
Transitions
When an event handler simply inserts an object, it appears instantly, and other DOM objects are rendered in their new locations, which can be a visually jarring experience.
In this example, we've added a transitionObject function to smooth things out.
Inserted burger elements have an initial CSS height of 0.
After each insertion, we call the transitionObject function,
passing the inserted object. It begins growing to a height equal to the image
it contains (the images are different heights). This gradually pushes open a space
for itself, while it moves in from offscreen left, and fades in.
var transitionObject = function (obj) {
obj.transition({
duration: 0.8,
// height grows from initial 0, to height of contained image
height: obj.one('img').getStyle('height'),
marginLeft: '0px', // transition into place from offscreen left.
opacity: {
delay: 0.2,
duration: 0.5,
value: 1
}
});
}
Here's more code in the buttonClicks handler where we call transitionObject,
and do some special handling for the cheese button state.
// This inserts burger parts and manages the display of buttons
var buttonClicks = function (e) {
var obj;
if (this.hasClass('patty')) {
// Create a node with an image of the burger part
obj = Y.Node.create('<li class="patty"><img src="' + imgPath + 'burg_patty.png"/></li>');
// Insert it before the bottom bun
demo.insert(obj, Y.one('.bun-bottom'));
// Smooth out insert with transition
transitionObject(obj);
// Cheese button becomes available
// only when there's a patty to insert before
Y.one('.buttons-list .cheese')._node.disabled = false;
} else if // other buttons follow...
Complete Example Source
In the complete source you'll see we also added handling for:
- Removing elements from the burger
- Clicking the Done button to vertically compress the burger
- Requesting another
