I decided to move my plugins from my private svn to Google Code. This means the code being developed is now public and can be viewed and reviewed by anyone.
I'm also trying to automate the building process with a makefile in order to make deploys less tedious (thus more frequent :)).
Everyone's invited to check the code, review it, comment and report bugs. The repository has a few plugins that I actually never released. It doesn't contain non-jQuery scripts yet. I haven't moved them yet and won't do yet.
I never actually posted about 2 tiny plugins I made, once jQuery 1.3 was nearing.
Both are somehow related, they are related to Ajax (jQuery.ajax) and they provide sort of a manager to allow multiple implementations of the same feature.
Needless to say, both plugins only work under jQuery 1.3 or higher. The packages(zips) include jQuery 1.2.7pre because that's the version I used to test them when I made them. You obviously don't need to use that version.
Since jQuery 1.3. The default XHR "factory" function can be overriden by passing an 'xhr' setting to jQuery.ajax with a new function
This tiny plugin provides a simple registry for different xhr implementations to co-exist.
To provide a new implementation, you need to do something like this:
jQuery.xhr.register( 'my_xhr', function( settings ){ return new MyXhrImplementation( settings ); });
The argument settings is the object passed to jQuery.ajax.
To use it, you do:
jQuery.ajax({
url:'...',
transport:'my_xhr',
// ...
});
The built-in implementation is used by default (unless it's overriden with jQuery.ajaxSetup) and it's called 'xhr'.
This plugin lets you store multiple functions to sanitize ajax responses.
If you want to provide a new implementation, you need to do something like this:
jQuery.ajaxFilter.register('js_in_href','html', function( data ){ return data.replace(/href="javascript:[^"]+"/g, ''); });
or
jQuery.ajaxFilter.register('eval','script html json', function( data ){ return data.replace(/eval\(.+?\);?/g, ''); });
Arguments for jQuery.ajaxFilter.register() are:
To use it, you do:
jQuery.ajax({
url:'foo.html',
filter:'js_in_href',
// ...
});
The filter can also parse the response.
That means it can (for example) provide an alternative way of eval'ing json. This is specially useful for Adobe AIR apps.
If the filter returns something else than a string, it's assumed to be the final response.
