WORK IN PROGRESS

This repo is currently a work in progress. It's a scratchpad while we finalize the initial Cerebellum release. Please stand by.

About

Cerebellum is a tiny library that provides a declarative way to build javascript view hiearchies. It handles view nesting, DOM event binding, and re-rendering so that you can focus on building the business logic.

Dependencies

Cerebellum is a stand-alone library. It's more of a set of conventions that make your life easier as a frontend web developer. Use it with any MVC framework you like; Cerebellum is framework-agnostic.

Installation

bower install cerebellum

Use

Cerebellum expects to receive a Javascript Object literal with your view hiearchy defined as follows:

{
  name: RootView, // class of View to render
  el: '#content', // element to render into
  if: true, // value or function that determines whether this view is shown
  renderfunction: 'render', // function to be called to render this view
  disposefunction: 'dispose', // function to be caled to dispose this view
  childViews: [
    {
      name: ChildView,
      el: '#navbar',
      if: ChildView.signedIn,
      renderMethod: 'render',
      disposeMethod: 'dispose'
    }
  ]
}
