When using MVVM in Kendo UI Mobile, there are times where you will need the context of the view so you can make changes to it or read values from it. You can get the current view from the application’s “view()” method, but sometimes your app is not in the global namespace if you architected it this way. Unfortunately, this does not come as a parameter for your observable functions. So here’s the trick to finding the current view.
The Lo-Dash on Underscore.js and Strings
If you are not using Underscore.js in your JavaScript development, then you are really missing out. It cuts out so much redundant functions you find yourself creating when dealing with collections, objects, and conditions, such as finding, filtering, plucking, and so much more. You will instantly see the power of Underscore.js by examining this example.
Kendo UI Web: Remote Views And Separate HTML Files
When working with Kendo’s SPA implementation, you will soon realize that you can only create views out of existing elements on the page or feeding it raw HTML. What about remote views? Unfortunately, only Kendo UI Mobile gets to have remote views. In this post, I will show you how to extend Kendo UI Web’s kendo.View to give it remote view capabilities just like mobile!
Extend Native DOM Elements Using Web Components
Web developers love inheritance, don’t you? Who would have thought you can inherit something so basic as an HTML element and extend it! Now you can do this using the new Web Components specifications.
Promise To Use jQuery AJAX Correctly?
Callbacks are the cornerstone of JavaScript since it is single-threaded in nature. This can quickly turn into spaghetti code when handling multiple, dependent AJAX calls. Enter Promises! Deferred and promise are part of jQuery since version 1.5 and they help in handling asynchronous functions like AJAX.
Getting Started with Web Components
With HTML5 came the introduction of semantic tags. Content could now be wrapped within much more appropriately named tags such as:
Create Custom Kendo MVVM Widgets
Kendo UI is more than just interface-candy. There is an elegant, underlying framework at play that makes things work. Is it easy to extend though? YES – Kendo is also framework-candy!
Add Page Names as HTML Classes
Wouldn’t it be great if you can specify different styles per page all from the stylesheet? For example, your home page may have a larger header section than the rest of your pages. The solution would be to add a different class on each page so you can do something like this.
Using Kendo UI Mobile with RequireJS
Are you thirsty for some scalable, elegant Kendo Mobile architecture? We all have been! The reason is because everything is globally scoped and seems to work much smoother if you jumble all your JavaScript on a single page. Fear no more though, RequireJS to the rescue!
Kendo Class Inheritance and RequireJS
Kendo UI includes base class objects that provides class inheritance. This is very useful for creating elegant, object-oriented JavaScript code. Couple this with RequireJS and you have a very scalable architecture.
