Package Exports

builder

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (builder) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Builder

Liberal JavaScript DOM builder

Builder(tag_name, attributes = {}, elements = [], content = '', callback)

Generate a DOM Element. Accepts a variable number of arguments which may be:

Hashes of attributes
Elements
Strings of content
Arrays (which can be nested) of any of the above
Function to call, which should return any of the above

div = Builder 'div', className: 'tasty' ul = Builder.ul Builder.li 'Item One'

All HTML5 tag names are available as functions on the Builder object which will generate the corresponding element. For maximum readability when generating multiple elements it can be useful to a function with Builder as the context:

table = (->
  @table cellpadding: 0, cellspacing: 0,
    @tbody(
      @tr(
        @td 'Cell One'
        @td 'Cell Two'
      )
    )
).call Builder

Builder.document

If no document is present in the global scope (i.e. on Node), you can explicitly set the document element:

jsdom = require 'jsdom'
Builder = require 'builder'
window = jsdom.createWindow()
Builder.document = window.document
div = Builder.div()

Builder.$

Setting $ on Builder will make Builder return a wrapped object containing the element (i.e. a jQuery/Zepto/Ender array). Builder will always look inside these objects for the actual elements so in practice you can use them as if they were the Element objects, with the added benefit of attaching event handlers inline, etc:
Builder.$ = jQuery list = (-> @ul @li @a('Link',href:'#').click -> ).call Builder
Ender

When including builder in an Ender build, it becomes available as $.builder:

div = $.builder 'div'
