ViewManager

ViewManager is a simple library to maintain a set of views such that only one view is open at a time.

Install

$ npm install viewmananger

Usage

ViewManager is intended to be used with browserify.

var ViewManager = require( 'viewmanager' );
 
var viewmanager = new ViewManager();
 
viewmanager.add( 'foo', document.getElementById( 'foo' ) );
viewmanager.add( 'bar', document.getElementById( 'bar' ) );
viewmanager.add( 'yak', document.getElementById( 'yak' ) );
 
// ensures the default show class 'show' is set on 'foo' and unset on the other managed views
viewmanager.open( 'foo' );
 
// will set the 'show' class on 'bar', and remove it from the other views
viewmanager.open( 'bar' );

Options

showClass

var viewmanager = new ViewManager( {
    showClass: 'blah' // defaults to 'show'
} );

When open() is called on a view id, will ensure that the given showClass is added to the opened view and removed from all other managed views.

hideClass

var viewmanager = new ViewManager( {
    hideClass: 'blarg' // defaults to ''
} );

When open() is called on a view id, will ensure that the given hideClass is removed from the opened view and added to all other managed views.
