# Burger.js

__Work in progress...__

A light-weight JavaScript component library meant to be awesome with Turbolinks.

Has hard dependencies on both jQuery and lodash.

```
npm install burger

gem install burger
```

## What I'm going on about, friend

1. Rails template rendering is very powerful
2. Paired with Turbolinks it is a very snappy experience
3. Sometimes vanilla jQuery isn't enough, but Backbone/React/Angular/Ember is overkill
4. Not intended to be a full framework, just a library for small pieces of JavaScript behaviour

## Looking for features, guy?

- ES6/Coffeescript class based component declaration
- Data syncing with data-tags
- Simple two-way binding
- Some other crap

## Some things to get working

- __Light__ template binding
- more operations for dealing with children
- Some other crap

## Example

```erb
<div data-burger="MyComponent" data-user=<%= current_user.to_json %>>...</div>
```

```coffee
class MyComponent extends Burger.Component
  @register()

  constructor: (el) ->
    super(el)

    @data.user # user data as json

    # bind to updating user.first_name
    @data.bind 'user.first_name', (value) ->
      # do something with updated value

    @data.set('user.first_name', 'Gabe')

    @emit('someEventToAllOtherComponents', 42)

    @on 'someEventFromAnotherComponent', (event, something) ->
      # do something with something

    @children # all components which are lower in hierarchy

    # returns an array of all child BrewhouseComponent
    @children.where(BrewhouseComponent)

    # returns an array of all child components where data-cool-dude is 'Chuck'
    @children.where(coolDude: 'Chuck')

    # returns the first found child component where data-can-code is 'Chan'
    # and then bind to changes in puns
    @children.find(canCode: 'Chan').data.bind 'puns', (pun) ->
      # do something with pun
```
