Fence

A minimal yet very useful synchronization primitive on top of jQuery Deferreds that is available as a jQuery plugin client-side and a npm package for node server-side.

Latest version of Fence is version 0.4.0

What is it?

See our Introduction to Fence.

Installation

Server-Side: Node

• use npm: npm install fence
• or put fence as a dependency in package.json

Fence itself depends on JQDeferred an automated port of jQuery Deferreds to node.

Once Fence is installed, require it in your code:

var Fence = require( "fence" );

Client-Side

Download the minified or full-text version of the plugin and drop it into your project.

Then:

• put a script tag to load the plugin in your html: <script src="path/to/js/fence.0.4.0.js"></script>
• OR use your favorite script loader: yepnope( "path/to/js/fence.0.4.0.js" );

After that, Fence is available as jQuery.Fence, that simple.
