Missing .clone() API?

[abereznyi]

I don't see an API call similar to jQuery .clone() method.

Is there anything like it in jQ.Mobi?

I use it a lot to build lists dynamically.

Thanks,

It's in the new release.

I see clone() in 0.9.1a but it seems to return an HTML element instead of a set.
Seems like a bug to me.

What do you mean by "set" do you mean a deep clone?

[abereznyi]

By "set" I mean jQuery selector result type to which one can apply jQuery methods.

In jQuery I can write:

var a = $('#someid').clone(); a.removeAttr('id');

but in jQ.Mobi I have to extra wrap .clone() result in $() to do same:

var a= $($('#someid').clone()); a.removeAttr('id');

[Indiepath]

I see what you mean so you basically want to be able to chain :

$('#someid').clone().removeAttr('id');

I'm sure Ian can manage this, I had a similar request with $('#someid').parent().addClass('blah'); - he sorted it in 2 mins :)

Also .clone() is a deep clone in jQuery - can you make it so in jQ.Mobi?
it's not very useful now without deep cloning.

clone takes in a parameter "deep" which will copy in all the children. It does not copy events (nor will it).

[abereznyi]

No events copy is fine, but I'd like to see same behavior as jQuery, where deep=true by defaul.
I am trying to port an app from jQuery and such incompatibilities waste a lot of my debugging time.

Thanks,

Got it...I'll make that change. Thanks!

[abereznyi]

BTW, you are also missing jQuery ().data() API ...

[Indiepath]

Hardly - it's only an attribute :) But In know what you mean.

$(''selector").attr("data-twaddle");

[imaffett]

Actually it's in the code and has been, just not documented. You get points though because evidently you're the only one to read the actually Readme.md file ;)

We'll have better documentation for the 1.0 release.
