Problem to F2E • Large scale application never seen on
Web
But • The problem F2Es face today already exists
What is Pattern • A general reusable solution to a
commonly occurring problem within a given context in software design. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_design_pattern
GOF Book, 1994
Browser Environment • Async • Event Driven • Async •
Source Code from Internet • Async • Business Logic on Server
Patterns to Talk Today • Custom Event • Deferred •
PubSub
Custom Event http://www.flickr.com/photos/swehrmann/6009646752
Event • Something happens to an element, to the main
document, or to the browser window and that event triggers a reaction. http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2007/01/17/event-plan/
Native Events • DOM Events • UI • UI logic
• mutation • ... • BOM Events • load • error • history • ...
Problem of IE • Didn’t follow the W3C DOM standard
• Memory leaks • Not support bubbling/capturing • ‘this’ is window, not element • ‘event’ is different http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2005/08/addevent_consid.html
Dean Edward’s Add Event • Manage callback functions • Fallback
to elem.onevent = function () { ... } • Only one function for each event http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2005/10/add-event2/
jQuery’s Event • Normalize event object • ‘trigger’ method to
fire specific event
‘trigger’ Method • Can fire any event as you wish
• Even none native event name works
Custom Event • An event name is defined by you,
triggered by you
When to Trigger • State/Value change
Observer • Define a one-to-many dependency between objects so that
when one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically. GoF Book
Example: Backbone • A driver model • A car model
• Driver’s tension will get higher when shift gear
Driver var Driver = Backbone.Model.extend( defaults: { tension: 0 },
tensionUp: function () { this.set({ tension: this.get('tension') + 1 }); } );
Car var Car = Backbone.Model.extend( defaults: { gear: 'P' }
);
Observer var driver = new Driver(), car = new Car();
car.on('change:gear', function () { driver.tensionUp(); }); //GO car.set({ gear: 1 });
Advantages • Loose coupling • Prevent nested codes
Deferred http://www.flickr.com/photos/gozalewis/3256814461/
History • a.k.a Promise • Idea since 1976 (Call by
future) • Dojo 0.9 (2007), 1.5 (2010) • jQuery 1.5 (2011) • CommonJS Promises/A
What is Deferred • In computer science, future, promise, and
delay refer to constructs used for synchronization in some concurrent programming languages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises
Example: Image Loader function imgLoader(src) { var _img = new
Image(), _def = $.Deferred(); _img.onload = _def.resolve; //success _img.onerror = _def.reject; //fail _img.src = src return _def; }
Use Image Loader imgLoader('/images/logo.png').done(function () { $('#logo').fadeIn(); }).fail(function () {
document.location = '/404.html'; });
jQuery Deferred • Multiple callback functions • Add callbacks at
any time • jQuery.when http://api.jquery.com/category/deferred-object/
Image Loader with Cache function imgLoader(src) { if (imgLoader[src]) {
return imgLoader[src]; } var _img = new Image(), _def = $.Deferred(); imgLoader[src] = _def; _img.onload = _def.resolve; //success _img.onerror = _def.reject; //fail _img.src = src return _def; }
Use Image Loader imgLoader('/images/logo.png').done(function () { $('#logo').fadeIn(); }).fail(function () {
document.location = '/404.html'; }); imgLoader('/images/logo.png').done(function () { App.init(); }); imgLoader('/images/logo.png').fail(function () { App.destroy(); });
jQuery.when $.when( $.getJSON('/api/jedis'), $.getJSON('/api/siths'), $.getJSON('/api/terminators') ).done(function (jedis, siths, terminators) {
// do something.... });
Advantages • Manage callbacks • Cache results • $.when
PubSub http://www.flickr.com/photos/birdfarm/519230710/
Case • A module know when user signin • X,
Y modules need to know when user signin • A should not fail when X or Y fails
Without PubSub
signin signin A Y X Z B
X, Y depends on A
PubSub Subscribe Event Only
PubSub A Y X Z B
PubSub subscribe ‘signin’ subscribe ‘signin’ A Y X Z B
PubSub publish ‘signin’ A Y X Z B
PubSub signin signin A Y X Z B
Publish/Subscribe • Mediator + Observer • Easy to implement
http://addyosmani.com/blog/jqcon-largescalejs-2012/ $(document).trigger('eventName'); //equivalent to $.publish('eventName') $(document).on('eventName',...); //equivalent to $.subscribe('eventName',...) //
Using .on()/.off() from jQuery 1.7.1 (function($) { var o = $({}); $.subscribe = function() { o.on.apply(o, arguments); }; $.unsubscribe = function() { o.off.apply(o, arguments); }; $.publish = function() { o.trigger.apply(o, arguments); }; }(jQuery)); // Multi-purpose callbacks list object // Pub/Sub implementation: var topics = {}; jQuery.Topic = function( id ) { var callbacks, topic = id && topics[ id ]; if ( !topic ) { callbacks = jQuery.Callbacks(); topic = { publish: callbacks.fire, subscribe: callbacks.add, unsubscribe: callbacks.remove }; if ( id ) { topics[ id ] = topic; } } return topic; }; //Using Underscore and Backbone var myObject = {}; _.extend( myObject, Backbone.Events ); //Example myObject.on('eventName', function( msg ) { console.log( 'triggered:' + msg ); }); myObject.trigger('eventName', 'some event');
When to Use • Module and module have dependency but
not really depend on it.
Example: Error Handler • An module to control the behavior
when error occurs • All other module should call it when something went wrong • No module should fail because error handler fails
Error Handler Code //Error Handler $.subscribe('AJAXfail', function () { alert('Something
wrong!!'); }); //Code $.get('/api/siths').fail(function () { $.publish('AJAXfail'); });
Advantages • Loose coupling • Scalability
Summary • Control async process using deferred • Modulize your
application • Decouple using custom event • Decouple more using pubsub
