jQuery Mobile: Good Support
Dislike
Just a library. No architecture behind.
Performance.
None
Like
Ext.application({ name: 'MyApp', profiles: ['Phone', 'Tablet'] }); ! Ext.define('MyApp.profile.Phone', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Profile', ! views: ['Main'], ! isActive: function() { return Ext.os.is('Phone'); } }); Sencha Touch: Device Profiles
Dislike
Mobile only iOS, Android, BB, WP
Size matters
None
User don’t need the whole app from the start.
User don’t need the whole app at all.
None
Like
• Flexible • Small & Simple • Possibility to define
any architecture style
Dislike
• No architecture defined • No UI representation
Concept.
1. Independent customizable modules 2. Lazy loading 3. Device profiles
4. Device dependent templates 5. Easy UI elements
Device Profiles
XF.define(‘My App', function () { ! return new XF.App({ initialize:
function() { }, ! device: { types : [ { name : 'tablet', range : { max : 1024, min : 569 }, templatePath : 'tablet/', defaultAnimation: 'fade' }, !
XF.define(‘MyApp’, function () { ! return new XF.App({ ! device:
{ types : [ { name : 'ios', range : { max : 1024, min : 320 }, supports : ['isIOS'], templatePath : 'ios/', defaultAnimation: 'slideleft' }, !
Modules
Module View Collection Model Model Model
Module View Model
XF.define('componentClassName', function () { ! return XF.Component.extend({ Collection: XF.Collection.extend({ url:
'/rest/cities' }), // View Class === XF.View by default initialize: function() { // do some stuff here } }); ! });
XF.define('componentClassName', ['collections/collectionClass', 'collections/viewClass'], function (Collection, View) { return XF.Component.extend({ Collection:
Collection, View: View, initialize: function() { // do some stuff here } }); });
Module loading
<div data-component="componentClass" data-id=“componentID"> ! This text is visible while component
is loading ! </div>
<div data-component="componentClass" data-id="componentID" data-device-type="desktop"> ! This text is visible while
component is loading ! </div>
Customization
<div data-component="componentClass" data- id=“componentID"> ! <script> XF.setOptionsByID('componentID', {foo: 'bar'}); </script>
! </div>
Device-dependent templates
<div data-component="componentClass" data-id="componentID"> <script> XF.setOptionsByID('componentID', {foo: 'bar'}); </script> </div> components/componentClass.js
new ComponentClass(options); tmpl/deviceProfile/componentClass.tmpl tmpl/mobile/componentClass.tmpl // is visible rest/c
<div data-component="componentClass" data-id=“componentID" /> components/componentClass.js // is visible new ComponentClass(options);
tmpl/ deviceProfile/ componentClass.tmpl rest/componentClass/ // loading JS if it’s needed // rendering <div data-component="componentClass" data-id="componentID"> <ul class="xf-list" data-role="listview">
! Progressive Enhancement?
! Progressive Enhancement? Look ma, we still need backend
UI Elements
None
<ul data-role="listview"> <li data-role="divider">A</li> <li> <h2>Header</h2> <p>No link</p> </li> <li><a
href="#">Simple link</a></li> <li data-role="divider">Divider</li> <li> <h2>Header</h2> <p>Header and description</p> </li> </ul> Write Less
<ul data-role="listview" data-skip-enhance="true" id="xf-8293" class="xf-listview"> <li class=" xf-li xf-li-divider">A</li> <li
class="xf-li-static xf-li"> <div class="xf-li-wrap"> <h2 class="xf-li-header">Header</h2> <p class="xf-li-desc">No link</p> </div> </li> <li class=" xf-li"> <a href="#" class="xf-li-btn"> Simple link <div class="xf-btn-text"></div> </a> </li> <li class=" xf-li xf-li-divider">Divider</li> <li class=" xf-li"> <a href="#" class="xf-li-btn"> <div class="xf-btn-text"> <h2 class="xf-li-header">Header</h2> <p class="xf-li-desc">Header and description</p> </div> </a> </li> </ul> …do nothing
Wrapping up.
Pages.
What if page switching could work together with router?
<div class="xf-page" data-id="home">…</div> XF.define(function () { return new XF.App({ router:
{ routes: { '/': 'home' }, ! home: function() { // ... } },
