I don't think you should decide on one library, and then make KSS even
larger by adding native support for that one library. Instead, keep
kss.core as small as possible, and add a kss.jquery, kss.mochikit,
kss.dojo, and so forth, as users need them. That way, a user who is
going to need to do a few complicated things in raw JavaScript, but
who wants to adopt KSS for all of the other actions on his web page,
gets to choose which Javascript library gets pulled in.
I suppose that there's probably not time for me to write a kss.jquery
before my article is due this weekend. :-) How difficult is it to add
KSS actions to core KSS from another module? The goal here, as I
understand it, would be for a new action like show() to appear as an
action that could be called both from a .kss file:
... {
client-action: show;
show-kssSelector: #magicalAppearingPanel;
show-speed: 2;
}
and could also be called from inside of Python code:
jquery = self.getCommandSet('jquery')
jquery.show('#magicalAppearingPanel', 2)
I'm not sure what to think of getCommandSet() taking an argument; I
guess that keeps different command sets from conflicting, since there
might be several that want to use the same method name? It just looks
like it could be a lot of work, as I write out eight actions that need
to happen, to remember which one comes from which command set:
core = self.getCommandSet('core')
jquery = self.getCommandSet('jquery')
core.replaceInnerHTML('#magicPanelTitle', title)
core.replaceInnerHTML('#magicPanelContent', content)
jquery.show('#magicalAppearingPanel', 2)
core.replaceInnerHTML('#myFormText', title)
jquery.slideDown('#myForm', 1)
Well, okay, maybe that example wound up looking not-as-bad as I'd
thought. :-)
