Fay jQuery

Changelog

jQuery bindings for Fay. This project is experimental, but seems to work pretty well!

The short-term goals of this project are to help discover the real world requirements of Fay and to invite bikeshedding over the fay-jquery API. That means that names and types may change in rapid and annoying ways until conventions settle down.

The one consistent convention in the library is that the jQuery object on which methods operate is the last parameter to every function. This allows simple monadic composition:

makeSquare :: JQuery -> Fay JQuery
makeSquare = addClass "square" >=>
             setWidth 400 >=>
             setHeight 400

main :: Fay ()
main = do
    makeSquare $ select "#elementToMakeSquare"
    return ()

Usage

Install:

cabal install fay-text fay-jquery

Compile your file:

fay --package fay-jquery,fay-text MyFile.hs
