What is jQuery anyway?
A JavaScript library which simplifies the common every day web development tasks of Document Model manipulation, event handling, animation and AJAX/JSON
Created: June 2006 by John Resig
Removes browser dependencies
Open Source (MIT License)
What is jQuery anyway?
60% of world’s top 10,000 websites use jQuery http://trends.builtwith.com/javascript (*Dec 2012)
Used by Microsoft .Net v4 as part of the ASP.NET AJAX framework Some websites you probably know using jQuery
Amazon Google Twitter Dell Wordpress Bank of America Stackoverflow Drupal BestBuy Wordpress
What is jQuery anyway?
Core– Document Model (DOM) Manipulation– Simple Animations
UI– Pre-packages functional capabilities– Analogous to Dojo Widgets
Mobile– A unified, HTML5-based user interface system for all popular mobile device platforms, built on the rock-solid jQuery and jQuery UI foundation.

What about Dojo? When should I use jQuery?
Dojo and jQuery have the same basic premise:– Browser compatibility / Code simplification
Many similar capabilities.– DOM manipulation– Widgets (Date pickers, sliders etc)
Many differences– Dojo intended for larger client applications– jQuery intended to make coding as easy as possible
Where’s the balance?
Many factors determine the balance– Network connectivity– Functional requirements– Developmental experience with Dojo/jQuery– Project timeline– Maintainability of the application– jQuery v2.0 (future) will not support IE<9• “The entire jQuery core team instantly became giddy as they started
ripping out oldIE support for jQuery 2.0.” 17 Dec 2012 - Scott González (jQuery contributor)
Don’t use jQuery when….
There isn’t a justifiable reason to use it
jQuery is an additional download (~94k)– Version 1.8 does allow for exclusion of code which is not
necessary
When not to use jQuery :– Simple DOM manipulation– To provide functionality which is already provided by Dojo
Widgets– To determine runtime events in the onLoad event– If you are using OneUI (*not for beginners)– Because you don’t want to learn Dojo
Use jQuery when……
Enhanced functionality not provided by Dojo– Specific jQuery or jQuery UI functionality– Specific Animation requirements– Broader browser compatibility
The business plan supports jQuery usage
The requirements are best suited to a jQuery solution

How does jQuery work - API References
Example API reference methods and propertieshttp://api.jquery.com
API references Examples
Selectors (“ELEMENT”) (“.class”) (“#idTag”)
Attributes .attr() .html() .toggleClass()Traversing .children() .closest() .find() Manipulation .appendTo() .css() .val() CSS .height() .position() .width() Events .blur() .bind() .keypress() Effects .animate() .fadeIn() .slideToggle()Ajax .get() .getJSON() .serialize() Utilities .grep() .each() .inArray() Internals .error() .pushStack() .context()
Select and conquer
1) Select the DOM elements you wish to affect
$(‘.myClass’)
2) Concatenate the API reference to use
$(‘.myClass’).css(‘display’, ‘none’)
3) Execute
Select all elements with a class “myClass”
Set the display style to none
Chaining
All methods/properties return a jQuery object– Allows for chaining of *all* other API references
$("p") .find(":contains('t')") .css('color','red')
Advantages– Object reuse: Lower memory consumption and faster– Shorter more manageable code – Easier syntax for beginners – Easy plugin creation
Select All Paragraph nodesWithin each node find all words containing the letter t
Color those matches red

What are jQuery plugins?
How can jQuery plugins solve my requirements
Adding jQuery to the application
jQuery is a Client Side JavaScript library– Can be added to the application– Can be referenced externally to the database
jQuery plugins contain images and style sheets– A complete miniaturized application– More than just JavaScript Code– Could be complicated to maintain if all files were added as resources
Adding jQuery to the database
Download the jQuery library– http://jquery.com– Save in a “js” folder on your computer
Adding jQuery to the database
Don’t add it to the database as a file resource
Don’t add it to the database as a js library
Domino Designer in Eclipse (DDE) reads and processes resources
– More time consuming (slows DDE)
Less maintainable
Adding jQuery to the database
The WebContent folder– Acts like the root folder within your database– All files referenced to the .nsf/ in the URL– Much easier to maintain files in one place– Makes jQuery plugin management much easier
Adding jQuery to the database
Drag and Drop the js folder into WebContent
Adding jQuery to the application
Directly added to the XPage source panel
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>
Adding jQuery to the application
Through a Theme<resource>
<content-type>application/x-javascript</content-type>
<href>js/jquery-1.8.3.min.js</href>
</resource>
Adding jQuery to your XPages - Example
Modernizing a notes view
Adding User interactivity
Add a basic viewPanel control to your XPage
An un-styled viewPanel
Functional but not aesthetically pleasing
Adding User interactivity - demonstration
Using jQuery, user interactivity can be added to a viewPanel to make it more functional and improve the user experience.

The following link has an example of the demonstration

jQuery plugins
Extensions of the jQuery API code base
The plugin is called in the same was as a normal API reference
$(‘.myClass’).doSomething()
To achieve the desired functionality additional resources are often necessary
– CSS– Images– Other JavaScript files
jQuery plugins
Additional JavaScript Libraries– May also include • Images• CSS
– Added to your XPage database through WebContent folder as before
31
jQuery plugins - example
Joyride.js – Website feature tour
– Requirement: • Provide a visual cue for website users
to the new features available• Make it simple to use• Make it one time only
32
jQuery plugins - example
Joyride – Website feature tour
By clicking a button users are guided around the new website
33
jQuery plugins - example
Joyride – Website feature tour
All the properties available with the Joyride plugin
jQuery plugins

Functionality in a box
Yesterday your boss could have said:–“I need a slideshow adding to the website by tomorrow, needs to
allow users to see thumbnails and cycle through them quickly…..”
You would have panicked
You could have remembered Google is your friend..
and found a great reference on jQuery slideshows
http://speckyboy.com/2009/06/03/15-amazing-jquery-image-galleryslideshow-plugins-and-tutorials/
You would then have responded: “Which one sir?”
Functionality in a box
Over 3000 jQuery plugins created and registered
Charting Modal WindowForm Validation MobileResponsive Layouts Web TypographySliders AnimationGalleries TablesCarousels Form Select and ComboTime and Date Pickers
And almost all of them are FREE
