Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'epi_js'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install epi_js

Usage

AJAX Modal

A usage guide is available here

Add to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require ajax_modal

Via data attribute

Add data-toggle=ajax-modal to your link

Via class

Add ajax-modal class to your link

Via JavaScript

$.ajaxModal(url);

Flash Message

Add to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require flash_message

For Rails flash fessage

Wrap your flash message in a div with .flash_messages class, e.g.

.flash-messages
  - unless flash.blank?
    - flash.each do |name, msg|
      .alert.fade{ class: "alert-#{ name == :notice ? 'success' : 'error' }" }
        %a.close{ data: { dismiss: :alert } } ×
        = msg

Via JavaScript

$.flashAlert(message, alert_class);

alert_class is alert-notice etc.

Customisation

You can change the markup of the dismiss link by setting the following variable:

$.flashAlert.defaults.dismissLink

Option Filter

Add to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require option_filter

Via data attributes

Add the jQuery selector of the target input as data-option-filter-target to the source input, e.g.

data-option-filter-target="#input-box-1"

To show an option in the target input when an option is selected in the source input, add the value of the source input as data-option-filter-value, e.g.

data-option-filter-value="1"

When the option with value 1 is selected in source input, only options with data-option-filter-value="1" will be displayed.

You can also add data-option-filter-disable-empty to the source input, so that when there is no options available for the current value, the target input will be disabled.

Responsive Table

Add to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require responsive_table

And to your app/assets/stylesheets/application.css

*= require responsive_table

Then add .table-responsive-xs or .table-responsive-sm to tables. You can override the label for each table cell by adding data-label to the td element.

Visibility Map

Add to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require visibility_map

Via data attributes

Set data-visibility-map of a select box, radio button group or check boxes to a JSON string, e.g.

data-visibility-map='{"foo":"#foo","bar":"#bar"}'

Or for SimpleForm, use:

f.input :some_select, input_html: {data: {visibility_map: {foo: '#foo', bar: '#bar'}}}

When the value of the input element is foo, the element #foo will be visible and #bar will be hidden, and vice versa. The value of the JSON key value pair can be any jQuery selectors.

Other options

1. You can limit the scope of elements to hide / show by providing a JQuery selector as the data-visibility-map-scope attribute. Then only elements within the closest element of input matching the given selector will be affected, e.g.

    .nested-fields
      = f.input :some_select, input_html: {data: {visibility_map_scope: '.nested-fields', visibility_map: {foo: '.foo', bar: '.bar'}}}
      .foo
      .bar
   
    .nested-fields
      = f.input :some_select, input_html: {data: {visibility_map_scope: '.nested-fields', visibility_map: {foo: '.foo', bar: '.bar'}}}
      .foo
      .bar
   

   When the value of the first select is set to foo, only the .foo in the first .nested-fields will be displayed

2. By setting the data-visibility-map-action attribute to hide, elements will be shown by default and only hidden when the given value is selected.

Table filter

This allows you to filter out rows in a table based on an input field.

Add to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require table_filter

Via data attributes

Set data-table-filter-target on the input field you wish to filter by. This should be a selecter for the table tag you want to filter. This needs to have a thead and tbody.

You can overwrite the default 'No record found' message by setting data-no-record on the table. The span of this will default to the number of tr elements in thead, but is customisable with data-no-record-span on the table.
