What is TiQuery?

TiQuery is a javascript library that makes tasks within Appcelerator Titanium easier and quicker. It is based on jQuery.

Shortcuts

TiQuery provides shortcuts to Titanium methods. Here are some:

// Utilities
$.info('My message');
$.error('my error message');
$.include('path/to/file.js');
$.currentWindow;

// create* methods
var window = $.Window({
    src: 'path/to/file.js'
});

var view = $.View({
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    backgroundColor: 'red'
});

window.add(view);

Events

TiQuery makes adding and triggering events easy.

$(view).click(function(event) {
    // do something
});

$(view).click(); // triggers the click event

You can also register your own custom events.

$.registerEvent('myEvent');

$(window).myEvent(function() {
    // do something
});

HTTP Client

Getting data from HTTP is simple with TiQuery with its helper functions.

$.get('http://www.google.com', function(data) {
    // do something with text data
});

$.post('http://www.example.com', {var1: 'value1', var2: 'value2'}, function(data) {
    // do something with text data
});

$.getJSON('http://www.example.com/file.json', function(data) {
    // do something with json object
});

$.getXML('http://www.example.com/file.xml', function(data) {
    // do something with xml dom object
});
