IsoMagic-simpleapp

IsoMagic extension that adds simple app capabilities

uses IsoMagic-template to translate a templateid, from res.templateid with data from res.data, and apply it to the app 'body', specified by the config bodySelector option

Setup

npm install isomagic isomagic-template isomagic-simpleapp

Create your index.js and index.html as described in IsoMagic

This extension requires IsoMagic-template. For details on template file structure, see that repository.

Sample Config file:

{
	"extensions" : [
		{
			"id":"simpleapp",
			"require":"isomagic-simpleapp",
			"filePath":"node_modules/isomagic-simpleapp/simpleapp.js"
			//optional parameter bodySelector described below.

			"method":"get",
			"route":"/", 
			"middleware" : [

			]
		},
		{
			"method":"get",
			"route":"/foo", 
			"middleware" : [
				{"type":"simpleapp#usetemplate", "templateid":"fooTemplate"}
			]
		},
		{"middleware" : ["simpleapp#showpage"]}
	]
}

Config

• bodySelector (String) default: "body" a jQuery selector for where the translated template will be applied if "simpleapp#showpage" is called

Middleware

• checkpage - checks the "body" for the current page against req.originalUrl. If we're already there, halts the middleware chain
• [builder] usetemplate
  • templateid: a templateid to be stored in res.templateid
• [builder] setdata
  • data: some data object to be attached to res.data
• showpage - translates res.templateid with res.data using IsoMagic-template, and puts the content into the "body" specified by bodySelector
