The contents at a glance

The following sections give a brief overview of the most used namespaces of the library.

Forms and input elements

The namespace reacl-c-basics.forms.core contains functions very similar to the corresponding DOM elements input, textarea, select and form, but with the most relevant state (the value entered by the user) as their item state.

The input elements also support the :multiple attribute when possible, and special new attributes are added for the HTML5 Form Validation API.

Note: reacl-c-basics.forms is deprecated.

Advanced and custom input types

The namespace reacl-c-basics.forms.types contains additional values - called types - that can be used for the :type attribute of the input items of reacl-c-basics.forms.core. It also contains functions to create new types.

The most used types are: opt-integer, which changes the state of the input item to either nil or an integer number, and opt-fixnum, which changes enables the user to enter a floating point number, but only with a fixed number of decimals.

Some of the type values, will actually change the reacl-c-basics.forms.core/input item into a textbox or select item, namely multiline-string and enum or string-enum respectively.

Ajax requests

The namespace reacl-c-basics.ajax gives you mostly invisible items that perform an Ajax request and give you easy access to the results.

Client side routing

For an easy setup of HTML5 Client Side Routing, look at the namespaces starting with reacl-c-basics.pages.

Timers and animation frames

The core namespace of the library reacl-c-basics.core contains useful subscriptions to a JavaScript timer (timeout and interval), and to animation frame timestamps (animation-frame and animation-frames).
