YUI Theater — Eric Ferraiuolo: “Web App Development with YUI 3″

November 5, 2009 at 7:47 am by Eric Miraglia | In YUI Theater | 7 Comments

Eric Ferraiuolo (@ericf) of Boston-area startup Oddnut Software made the trip to YUICONF 2009 last week to give a talk on the deployment of YUI 3-based applications in the real world. The talk presents a lot of wisdom Eric and his team have acquired since beginning to build on YUI 3 about a year ago, and it was one of the best-received talks at the conference.

Is there any documentation or videos on more details on integrating modules onto the page, such as the Log widget? How is it loaded onto page, where is the code, where is the javascript code for it. I’ve tried to separate out code with no luck, the best I can do is put all code on the main page. The video shows modules are referenced in the main page as _log or something like that. What is the reference to? Would love to be able to build this type of interface, but don’t have enough details. The video is great for conceptual, but I need to be able to implement the concept with actual YUI code with ajax callbacks. Any code examples available?

Robin — There are more than 100 examples here:

Check out those, and if you have a question about a specific component, head over to the forums:

Robin,

I’ve posted the code for Logismo’s top-level component, and the source of the HTML document; this should show how things are wired together.

Hi Eric,

I followed your excellent advice on running the YUI Builder from within Eclipse, and with a little bit of tweaking my build files it works out great. The only thing I don’t know how you do, is to make the Builder run on CMD + S. How do you make such triggers in Eclipse? Could you point be in some direction?

I decided it was best to answer your question with a full-featured blog post:

Auto-Building YUI 3 Custom Modules

Sorry for taking some time to respond, but I hope this post will help you and others interested in more details about my Eclipse/YUI Builder setup.

Hello,

Thanks very much for posting the Logismo code. It would be great if you could also post the code for some of the sub components – so we can see how they communicate with the top level component.

Kind Regards

Swami
