📎 Changes

• Refactoring
• Speed Optimizations
• Prototype inheritance on common methods and properties.
• Controller and Component Prototype classes exposed, now it's possible to overload methods. Useful for Logging tools and etc.
• Jails.render method improved, firing destroy custom event for every jails modules.
• New .get method to reference components and controllers.
• .x() method now is deprecated, use .get instead.
• unsubscribe function implemented as result of subscribe calls.
• off public instance method was dropped, it's now a returned function of on() calls.
• Improving delegation on focus() and blur() events.

• [FIX] - Adding support for names containing slash in annotations.

Use case:

[JS]

jails.component('folder/mycomponent', function(){})

[HTML]

<section data-component="folder/mycomponent"></section>

• UMD closure was requiring Jails instead of defining it.

Emergencial fix on focusin and focusout feature detection.
On latest Firefox versions page was scrolled down to bottom on page load.

• Adding namespace support for public methods. It's now possible to discriminate which component should respond to an event method calling.

It is specially usefull when you have more then 1 component in the same markup, and both has methods with equal names.

In this example, box and view components has .update() public method. To distinguish which one should respond to a method call, you can use namespaces.

<div class="my-component"  data-component="box view"></div>

controller.js

...
var component = this.x('.my-component');

component('box:update'); // Should execute .update() from box component
component('view:update'); // Should execute .update() from view component

component('update'); // Should execute .update() from both components
...

Jails is being very stable, very clean for a long time now, Narcissus version is all about it's beauty and looking.

• Changing Jails from AMD to UMD format
• Changing ready class to jls-ready class on the documentElement when Jails is ready.
• Changing multiple components reference, moving from comma to spaces to be more HTML standard compliant.
