- Start shrinking html.js down to the 150-line file it can be
- Move "proper case" logic to the template compiler; the tagName of an HTMLjs tag is now in proper case. This is both for better performance and reduced size and complexity of runtime code (i.e. blaze.js).
- Start moving html-tools to the HTMLTools namespace
So, in HTML, the following are equivalent, and both mean that a checkbox is checked, because the `checked` attribute is present:
- `<input type="checkbox" checked>`
- `<input type="checkbox" checked="">`
We can't mess with that. On the other hand, in Spacebars before this commit, the following would *also* result in the checkbox being checked, regardless of whether `foo` evaluates to null, undefined, false, or the empty string:
- `<input type="checkbox" checked={{foo}}>`
- `<input type="checkbox" checked="{{foo}}">`
With this commit, the checkbox will NOT be checked if `foo` evaluates to null, undefined, or false.
To achieve this:
- In HTMLjs, an attribute is considered absent if its value is "nully" after being fully evaluated (i.e. after expanding functions and components via HTML.evaluateDynamicAttributes / HTML.evaluate). A nully value is one consisting of null, undefined, an empty array, or an array of those things. `false` is not nully and renders as "false". An empty string is not nully, and will "prop open" an attribute that would otherwise collapse into absence.
- Spacebars.mustache converts null, undefined, and false to null. So if you use {{foo}} anywhere in a template and foo evaluates to "false", that gets to converted to a null in HTMLjs (which is ignored). (true is rendered as "true".)
- When parsing HTML, an attribute that consists of *no tokens* becomes an empty string in the HTMLjs, which props open the attribute (unlike null or an empty array). (Since comment tokens are stripped during tokenization, if there are only comments in an attribute value that counts as no tokens.)
Puts HTML.Tag, toHTML, and toJS in the "htmljs" package.
Introduces toText for textareas and attributes.
Changes dynamic attribute representation.
Instances of HTML.Tag, HTML.CharRef, etc. are now "instanceof".
Once this code seems to work, we'll move packages around further.
- "htmljs" is the runtime; can even take out "tocode.js"
- "html-tools" (new package) takes over for "html".
Then, port the tests.
This implies that all exports are package variables, which made underscore,
jquery, and htmljs (which explicitly assigned to fields on the global variable)
break. We now properly encapsulate these packages (except for window.jQuery,
which we let sneak out because bootstrap wants it). This means that packages
that want _ need to use underscore, and packages that want $ need to use jquery.
Also, you can't use _ in minimongo $where any more (matching mongod).
