This repository contains the files that get compiled, concatenated and then minified to become the page.js file that's included by all pages built by Thing.

Included

fittext.coffee is used when sizing headlines to fit the width of their containers.

fullscreenoverlay.coffee is used when showing video, audio or map embeds fullscreen.

cookie.coffee is a library for easily working with cookies.

view_page.coffee contains the code that runs when the page loads.

• It loads the Google fonts that are used by the page using the Google/Typekit webfont loader.

• It detects when the page is resized so that fitted headlines can be re-fitted, fullscreen embeds can be resized and so that content that should be vertically centered on a page will continue to be centered.

• It also shows the initial preview warning banner which you would almost certainly not want if you're hosting the page yourself.

• It stores the initial referer header and query string so that analytics code can pick that up later.

Therefore if you're not vertically centering everything on the page, you're not fitting any headlines and you're not choosing to show any embeds fullscreen, then you probably don't even need this file.

Not included here

page.js depends on the latest version of jQuery. It is assumed that jQuery has already been included in the page.

page.js as used in Thing also contains webfont.js.
