Enfocus is a DOM
manipulation and templating library for
ClojureScript. Inspired by Christophe Grand's Enlive, Enfocus'
primary purpose is providing a base for building rich interfaces in
ClojureScript.
If you are unfamiliar with enlive I also recommend taking a look at these links.

Every great journey starts with “Hello world!”
(ns my.namespace
(:require [enfocus.core :as ef]
[enfocus.events :as events]
[enfocus.effects :as effects])
(:require-macros [enfocus.macros :as em]))
(defn start []
(ef/at js/document
["body"] (ef/content "Hello enfocus!")))
(set! (.-onload js/window) start)
See hello-enfocus repo.
at
formAt the core to understanding Enfocus is the at
form used in the
“Hello world!” example above. It comes in two basic flavors listed below:
A single transform
(at a-node (transform arg1 ...))
;or with implied js/document
(at selector (transform arg1 ...))
and a series of transforms
(at a-node
[selector1] (transform1 arg1 ...)
[selector2] (transform2 arg1 ...))
;or with implied js/document
(at [selector1] (transform1 arg1 ...)
[selector2] (transform2 arg1 ...))
In the first case at
is passed a node, node set or selector and a
transform. This form of at
calls the transform on each element in
the node set.
A transform
is nothing more than a function that takes a set of
arguments and returns a function that takes a set of nodes. In case
of the "Hello World!"
example above, we see the use of (em/content
"Hello world!")
this call returns a function that takes node or node
set and replaces the content with "Hello world!"
In the second case, we see at
is optionally passed a node or node
set and a set of selector/transform pairs. The selectors are scoped by
the node, node set or js/document, if a node is not passed in, and the
results of each selector is passed on to its partner transformation.
A selector
is a string representing a CSS3 compliant selector
Enfocus has event handling. Below is a simple example to add an
onclick
event handler to a button.
(em/defaction change [msg]
["#button1"] (ef/content msg))
(em/defaction setup []
["#button1"] (events/listen :click #(change "I have been clicked")))
(set! (.-onload js/window) setup)
The defaction
construct is use here instead defn
. defaction
creates a function that calls the at
form like discussed above and
passes in js/document
as the node to be transformed.
Enfocus has the concept of effects. Effects are nothing more than transformations over a period of time. Below is a simple example of a resize effect. Notice how the effects can be chained.
(em/defaction resize-div [width]
["#rz-demo"] (effects/chain
(effects/resize width :curheight 500 20)
(effects/resize 5 :curheight 500 20)))
(em/defaction setup []
["#button2"] (events/listen #(resize-div 200)))
(set! (.-onload js/window) setup)
A snippet is a function that returns a seq of nodes, it can be used as a building block for more complex templates or actions.
You define a snippet by providing a remote resource, a selector and series of transformations.
The snippet definition below selects a table body from the remote
resource templates/template1.html
and grabs the first row. It then
fills the content of the row.
(em/defsnippet snippet2 "templates/template1.html" ["tbody > *:first-child"]
[fruit quantity]
["tr > *:first-child"] (ef/content fruit)
["tr > *:last-child"] (ef/content (str quantity)))
A template is very similar to a snippet except it does not require a selector to grap a sub section, instead the entire remote resource is used as the dom. If the remote resource is a full html document only what is inside the body tag is brought into the template.
(em/deftemplate template2 "/templates/template1.html" [fruit-data]
["#heading1"] (ef/content "fruit")
["thead tr > *:last-child"] (ef/content "quantity")
["tbody"] (ef/content
(map #(snippit2 % (fruit-data %)) (keys fruit-data))))
Normally, snippets and templates are loaded via an AJAX request, but
you can also create :compiled
templates, which will be inlined in to
resulting code at compile time:
(em/deftemplate template2 :compiled "/templates/template1.html" [fruit-data]
["#heading1"] (ef/content "fruit")
["thead tr > *:last-child"] (ef/content "quantity")
["tbody"] (ef/content
(map #(snippit2 % (fruit-data %)) (keys fruit-data))))
If, snippets and/or templates are loaded via AJAX it is important to make sure the content has been loaded before calling the template or snippit function. Enfocus provides a convient macro that works like an onload callback but for AJAX driven snippets and templates.
(em/wait-for-load (render-page))
An action is a set of transforms that take place on the live dom. below is a definition of a an action.
(em/defaction action2 []
[".cool[foo=false]"] (ef/content (template2 {"banana" 5 "pineapple" 10}))
["#heading1"] (ef/set-attr :id "new-heading1"))
Enfocus also support hiccup style emitters introduced in enlive “1.1.0”.
(defn hiccup-template [arg1]
(ef/html
[:h1#hiccup.clazz {:width arg1} "Hiccup Emitters are Cool"]))
A transformation is a function that returns either a node or collection of node.
Supported Enlive Transformations
content (content "xyz" a-node "abc")
html-content (html-content "<blink>please no</blink>")
set-attr (set-attr :attr1 "val1" :attr2 "val2")

remove-listeners (remove-listeners :mouseover :mouseout)
fade-in (fade-in time)
or (fade-in time callback)
or (fade-in time callback accelerator)
fade-out (fade-out time)
or (fade-out time callback)
resize (resize width height ttime)
or (resize width height ttime callback)
or (resize width height ttime callback accelerator)
move (move x y ttime)
or (move x y ttime callback)
or (move x y ttime callback accelerator)
scroll (scroll x y ttime)
or (scroll x y ttime callback)
or (scroll x y ttime callback accelerator)
chain (chain (fade-in ttime) ;serialize async effects
(move x y ttime)
(fade-out ttime)
...)
set-data (set-data key value)
Currently there is one transformation that is supported by Enlive but not Enfocus. (Patches very welcome!!)
move (move [:.footnote] [:#footnotes] content)
;this will be called relocate in enfocus
Enfocus supports both CSS3 and XPath selectors:
(ns example
(:require [enfocus.core :as ef])
(:require-macros [enfocus.macros :as em]))
(em/defaction action2 []
[".cool[foo=false]"] (ef/content ....)) ;CSS3
(ef/xpath "//tr[@id='1']/th[2]") (ef/set-attr :id "new-heading1")) ;XPATH
from
formThe from
form is how we get data from the dom in enfocus. It comes
in two basic flavors listed below:
This form returns the result of the extractor.
(from a-node (extractor arg1 ...))
;or with selector
(from selector (extractor arg1 ...))
and this form returns a map of the form {:key1 result1 :key2 result2}
(from a-node
:key1 [selector1] (extractor arg1 ...)
:key2 [selector2] (extractor arg1 ...))
;or implied js/documnt
(from
:key1 [selector1] (extractor arg1 ...)
:key2 [selector2] (extractor arg1 ...))
An extractor is a function that takes a node and returns information about.
An extractor is a funciton that takes a node and returns information about
get-attr (get-attr :attr1)
get-text (get-text)
get-prop (get-prop :value)
get-data (get-data :key1)
read-form (read-form) - returns {:field1 ("val1" "val2") :field2 val}
git clone git://github.com/ckirkendall/enfocus.git
cd enfocus
lein do cljx once, compile
After having compiled down enfocus
as explained above
lein test
After having compiled down enfocus
as explained above issue the
following lein
task:
lein repl
Then run the http server as follows
user=> (run)
2013-10-15 12:34:33.082:INFO:oejs.Server:jetty-7.6.8.v20121106
2013-10-15 12:34:33.138:INFO:oejs.AbstractConnector:Started SelectChannelConnector@0.0.0.0:3000
#<Server org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server@7aed9585>
Next launch the browser-connected REPL as follows:
user=> (browser-repl)
Browser-REPL ready @ http://localhost:55211/4347/repl/start
Type `:cljs/quit` to stop the ClojureScript REPL
nil
cljs.user=>
Finally, visit the http://localhost:3000/ URI
The page is empty and it used for bREPLin only. Wait few moments while the connection is established and then you can start bREPLing with Enfocus.
cljs.user=> (js/alert "Hello, Enfocus!")
All the Austin use cases should work as expected.
