Uncompressed forum.js for developers

[Peter]

Not really a feature, but...

Would it be possible for us to have the uncompressed version available somewhere as well?

It may not be that useful for most plugin developers, but for me, while developing certain features of a plugin, I found myself looking at the proboards class quite often.

If it helps, I use a jsdeminifier addon for Firefox which expands minified source while downloading , perfect if you want to step through a library to keep track of scoping and closures in firebug. It is a buggy addon but since it is easily toggled on/off it comes in handy in pinch.

You could also use jsbeautifier.org to expand a local copy for reference.

Yeah, I know about them, and have been using jsbeautifier. It would just be nice to have an uncompressed version for us somewhere.

In the near future we will supply developers with the forum.js file. We're still working on lots of things right now that are taking precedent. Don't worry though. We will get you all the tools you need.

Ryan Roos: Any word on an update? I'm fine with an out of date version, so that we can at least try to follow the logic.

V5 isn't launched and we're really busy trying to make that happen. Things like documentation are not a priority at this stage. It will be done as soon as we can do it. Hopefully prior to launch.

I can give send you an outdated version filled with liberal (and sometimes ROFL) comments if that is what you want.
(2.17MB - too large to attach)

Eh. I'll wait. It's more useful if the variables aren't compressed.

[Chris]

What I offer actually has full descriptive variable names, e.g

/**
* Get Variable Multi-Value
* Fetches a single property out of a multi-property value
*/
get_variable_multivalue: function(variable, type)
{
// If this variable doesn't even exist, what am I fighting fooooooooooooooooooooor?
if(typeof this.options.variables[variable] === 'undefined')
return '';

var value = this.options.variables[variable].rule.value.value;

// If there aren't any values, bail out
if (!value.length || !(value[0] instanceof less.tree.Expression))
return '';

// We need to go deeper
value = value[0].value;

var output = '';

// If they're looking for font family/weight/style, handle the special case
// Building a parser for font-family is far more complicated than letting
// the browser figure it out.
// Also, weight and style share the property "normal"
if (type === 'font-family' || type === 'font-weight' || type === 'font-style'){
var $builder = $('<span />');
$builder.css('font', this.options.variables[variable].value);
output = $builder.css(type);

// Leave no evidence!
$builder.remove();

return output;
}

Don't be fooled by the jquery libraries at the start which is left compressed

Yep, interested now. Share via dropbox maybe?

[Peter]

I actually have a URL to the combined uncompressed (just the PB stuff) version (which appears to get updated) given to me by Martyn. I'll PM you both the URL.

[Ryan Roos]

I'll ask Martyn today if there's anything newer we can give you guys this week. We'll see...

[Ryan Roos]

Alright, here you go. The dev team wishes you luck.

Please, sir, I want some more.

Thanks Ryan!
