// This is a good pattern to namespace javascript. | |
// Passing in jQuery assures that $ in our functions always refers to jquery | |
// Also a good pattern to pass in event to handers as that is the default for jQuery | |
// in a handler the "this" refers to the DOM element that caused the element. | |
window.Hello = {}; | |
(function($, namespace){ | |
namespace.Bar = {}; | |
// Use jQuery to add your methods. | |
$.extend(namespace.Bar, { | |
removeAssetHandler: function removeFooHandler(event) { | |
var $deleteLink = $(this); | |
$deleteLink.parents('.related_foo_container').find('.button').show(); | |
$deleteLink.parents('.related_foo_container').find('input').val(''); | |
$deleteLink.parents('.add_destination_container').html(''); | |
event.preventDefault(); | |
} | |
}); | |
})(jQuery, Hello); | |
//Testing | |
// Use .call on the function to change what "this" points to | |
// you can also spy on e.preventDefault to make sure that the | |
// defaults get prevented | |
beforeEach(function() { | |
spec.loadFixture('related_foo_container_fixture.html'); | |
}); | |
var e = {preventDefault: function(){}}; | |
var callFooHandler = function() { | |
Hello.Bar.removeFooHandler.call($("#delete")[0], e); | |
}; | |
