Шаблоны JavaScript

Область видимости переменных

• JavaScript имеет:• Global scope• Function scope• Defaults to global

• Приложения используют единый контекст скриптов• Doesn’t do page navigation – scopes don’t reset• Each “page” will need different scripts• Global scope can get really busy• Note: CSS collides too

Управление областями видимости

• DON’T: Use globals without a plan• DON’T: Forget the “var” keyword

• DO: use the module pattern• DO: use namespaces to manage globals

The Module Pattern

(function () { var a = 10;

function somePrivateStuff() { a = 15; } WinJS.Navigation.navigate("/html/firstPage.html");})();

Objects as Namespaces

(function () { function somethingUseful() { }

window.MyNamespace = window.MyNamespace || {}; window.MyNamespace.somethingUseful = somethingUseful;

MyNamespace.somethingUseful();

Helper For Namespaces

• In base.js• WinJS.Namespace.define• WinJS.Namespace.withParent

Objects as Namespaces With WinJS

WinJS.Namespace.define("MyNamespace", { somethingUseful: function () { }});

MyNamespace.somethingUseful();

Module + “Exports”

(function () {

function somethingPrivate() { }

function somethingUseful() { }

WinJS.Namespace.define("MyNamespace", { somethingUseful : somethingUseful });})();

Modules & Performance

• Use your module function’s parameters• Pass commonly used globals as parameters• Why• Clarity gain – you can see which globals you think you’re

using• Small perf gain – saves a lookup step

Using Module Parameters

a = 5;

(function (global, WinJS) { var q = WinJS.Utilities.query;

WinJS.UI.processAll().then(function () { q(".output").forEach(function (e) { e.innerText = a; }); });

})(window, WinJS);

Defining Objects

• DON’T: Define shared members in the object’s constructor

• DO: Define shared members on the object’s prototype

Defining Objects

// DON’T do this function MyThing() { this.method1 = function() { } }

// DO this function MyThing() { } MyThing.prototype.method1 = function(){}

• Memory savings• Pointer, function object used once instead of copied into

each instance• Perf improvements• Runtime optimizes name lookup based on prototypes

Helper for Defining Prototypes

• WinJS.Class.define(ctor, { members }, { statics });• Attaches members to the prototype• Attaches statics to the constructor function

Defining Objects with WinJS

var MyThing = WinJS.Class.define( function() { }, { method1: function() { } });

Reusing Code

• DON’T: Create deep prototype chains

• DO: Consider using mixins

Reusing Code

// DON’T do this function Ctor() { } Ctor.prototype.prototype = mixin;

// DO this function Ctor() { } Ctor.prototype.method1 = mixin.method1; Ctor.prototype.method2 = mixin.method2;

• Performance• Prototype chains slow down property access

• Clarity• Where’s that property coming from?

Helper for Mixins

• WinJS.Class.mix(ctor, mixin, mixin, …);

Example: Event mixinvar MyControl = WinJS.Class.mix( function (element, options) { this._domElement = element;

// your code here }, WinJS.UI.DOMEventMixin, WinJS.Utilities.createEventProperties({swizzle: 0, spin: 0}));

var c = new MyControl(element);c.onswizzle = function() { }c.addEventListener("spin", function () { }, false);

Сторонние JavaScript библиотеки

The JavaScript Ecosystem

• jQuery• ExtJS• YUI• MooTools• Prototype• Backbone• Underscore• Etc, etc, etc…

It just works! Except…

• XHR differences• Host Enforcement• Local vs. Web Context

jQuery, XHR, and the local context

• jQuery xhr now does a cross-domain check (new in 1.6)

• In local context, your origin is “ms-wwa://{something}”

• Cross domain check fails

• Workarounds• Use WinJS XHR• Tell jQuery to bypass the check• $.support.cors = true;• http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.support/

Knockout .js

Knockout .js

function initialize() { // Activates knockout.js ko.applyBindings(new ReservationsViewModel()); }

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", initialize, false);})();

Knockout .js function SeatReservation(name, initialMeal) { var self = this; self.name = name; self.meal = ko.observable(initialMeal); } function ReservationsViewModel() { var self = this; self.availableMeals = [ { mealName: "Standard (sandwich)", price: 0 }, { mealName: "Premium (lobster)", price: 34.95 }, { mealName: "Ultimate (whole zebra)", price: 290 } ];}

CoffeeScript

Host Enforcement

• Prevents “bad” HTML from getting inserted• Script blocks, iframes, event handlers, etc.

• Kicks in when setting strings• innerHTML• outerHTML• setAdjacentHTML

• “data-” attributes in general not on the allowed list• WinJS specific ones are ok

Host Enforcement Escape Hatches

• Can work around when needed:• toStaticHTML method• Use DOM creation APIs• Use WinJS.Utilities.setInnerHTMLUnsafe (and company)• Use msWWA.execUnsafeLocalFunction

• DO A SECURITY REVIEW IF YOU BYPASS HOST ENFORCEMENT!

Host Enforcement

Local vs. Web Context

• We want access to the full features of Windows 8• WinRT• Sensors• File system• Etc.

• We want to pull data and logic from the web• Mashup apps (Bing maps)• External analytics• Advertising

• Web content may be evil

Local Context

• Full access to WinRT• Limited access to the web• Can’t navigate to arbitrary URLs• Can’t pull down external scripts

Web Context

• Full access to the web• Can navigate to arbitrary URLs• Can pull scripts from arbitrary URLs• No access to the WinRT

Controlling Your Context

• Depends on your URL scheme• http or https: Web Context• ms-wwa: Local Context• ms-wwa-web: Web Context

• Typically done using iframes• Can navigate your top level page too

Environment

Wrap up

• Use common JavaScript patterns to organize your code• Promotes maintainability• Improves performance

• Use the JavaScript libraries you already know and love• They mostly just work• Watch out for host enforcement, cross-domain checks,

local vs. web compartment differences
