YUI Bootstrapper for Node.js

This node.js module attempts to setup and bootstrap a working YUI 3 instance.
It does not support any DOM manipulation, but it gives you our class management
and language extras.

This module includes support for remote script loading via Y.Get.script() and remote data fetching via Y.io.

Setup this repo

git clone git://github.com/davglass/nodejs-yui3.git

git clone git://github.com/yui/yui3.git

cd nodejs-yui3/lib

ln -s ../../yui3 ./

That should pull in the latest build of the /yui/yui3 repo.

Including the files

    // get the exported YUI object
    var YUI = require('./lib/node-yui3')).YUI;

Using YUI

// load YUI
var YUI = require("./lib/node-yui3").YUI;

//sys.puts('After: ' + sys.inspect(process.memoryUsage()));

//Now use non-DOM related YUI utilities
YUI({
    filter: 'debug',
    debug: true
}).use('gallery-yql', 'json', 'base', 'io-nodejs', function(Y) {

    //sys.puts('Inside: ' + sys.inspect(process.memoryUsage()));
    //Logger outputs with sys.puts
    Y.log('This is a test');
    //Lang is available
    Y.log('Test: ' + Y.Lang.isBoolean(true), 'debug', 'myapp');

    //Creating a simple class
    var One = function() {
        One.superclass.constructor.apply(this, arguments);
    };
    //Extending it with Y.Base so we have Custom Events and a lifecycle
    Y.extend(One, Y.Base, {
        test: function() {
            this.publish('foo', {
                emitFacade: true
            });
            this.fire('foo');
        }
    }, {
        NAME: 'one'
    });

    //Create a new instance of our new class
    var o = new One();
    o.on('foo', function(o) {
        Y.log('Foo Fired', 'debug', 'myapp');
        //Y.log(o, 'debug');
    });
    o.test(); //Should fire the one:foo Event.
    
    //Make a YQL query
    var q1 = new Y.yql('select * from github.user.info where (id = "davglass")');
    q1.on('query', function(r) {
        //Do something here.
        sys.puts(sys.inspect(r));
    });

    var url = 'http:/'+'/yuilibrary.com/gallery/api/user/davglass';
    //url = 'http:/'+'/query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20location%3D90210&format=json';
    
    Y.io(url, {
        xdr: {
            use: 'nodejs'
        },
        on: {
            start: function() {
                Y.log('Start IO', 'info', 'TEST');
            },
            success: function(id, o) {
                //Y.log(o.responseText);
                Y.log(Y.JSON.parse(o.responseText));
            }
        }
    });


});

Now you can run node ./test.js
