FoundationIdManager
Provides methods for declaring and checking IDs.
- Object
- IdManager
Remarks
The IdManager works in conjunction with the
Jitsu Cruncher
to provide a consistent way to reference symbolic strings in
JavaScript.
Methods
| check | Checks that the specified id name is valid, throwing an exception if it is not. |
| declare | Declares a list of IDs that will be used in the script and that should be crunched. |
IdManager check static method
Checks that the specified id name is valid, throwing an exception if it is not.
JavaScript
IdManager.check(id)
Example
To check that ID_foo was declard, use:
IdManager.check("foo");IdManager declare static method
Declares a list of IDs that will be used in the script and that should be crunched.
JavaScript
IdManager.declare()
Example
Here's the typical way to declare IDs:
IdManager.declare("ID_example", "ID_anotherExample");This is equivalent to writing:
var ID_example="example", ID_anotherExample="anotherExample";
except that, when the application is crunched, the cruncher generates shorter names for the IDs.
