This is a prototype of some modules that might be considered for Dojo 2.0. This is a working repository of highly experimental code. It is not intended for production use, nor does it indicate or imply any final APIs or direction of Dojo 2.0. Things will change and move around! Use at your own risk.
The following modules are of interest in this repository:
- d2-proto/parser - A "modern" version of the
dojo/parser. It is intended to only support ES5 compliant user agents. A demonstration test can be found here. - d2-proto/lang - Some enhancements changes to the
dojo/_base/langthat are designed to behave better in an ES5 world. It currently only contains the functions that I have needed to support the other modules in this repository. - d2-proto/properties - Functions to make it easier to work with ES5 properties.
- d2-proto/compose - An Object compositing and prototyping utility based on
ComposeJS, a potential alternative to
dojo/_base/declare. It is ES5 property descriptor safe plus it add the ability to define ES5 properties via thecompose.property()function. - d2-proto/Observable - A class that provides "Harmony-like"
Object.observefunctionality that is specifically designed to be offloaded to the native functionality that is planned for ES6. It should be possible to delegate most of the functionality to ES6 in the future. - d2-proto/dom - A DOM management library the includes put-selector from Kris Zyp plus some enhancements. Also includes the minimal parts of the dojo/selector/lite to get qSA "working" on
- d2-proto/doc - A module that either returns the browser's document or a pseudo-DOM in which the
dommodule can operate against for server side DOM generation and manipulation. - d2-proto/debug - A "stub" of what might be required in a Dojo 2.0 debug API.
- d2-proto/widget/Widget - A "dijit-style" base widget based on compose and put.
- d2-proto/base - A module the requires other modules that provides a "base" similar to the "old" Dojo.
The put module is basically a re-factoring of put-selector and passes Kris' original unit tests, but
does not contain some of the feature enhancements that are currently in dom.put().
I have brought in a few other modules from Dojo and refactored them, but this was to get around limitations of using those modules from Dojo and there haven't been any significant functional enhancements.
d2-proto currently depends upon:
- dojo 1.8+
- dojo2-teststack - for unit testing (although it currently needs my branch for performance benchmark tests).
Also, until teststack is feature complete, there are some additional tests based off of D.O.H. in the tests folder,
with the experimental teststack tests in test.
Some of the tests require the following:
