JQuery Mobile Angular Adapter

• https://github.com/tigbro/jquery-mobile-angular-adapter
• The glue that binds these 2 toolkits together
• In short, jQuery Mobile spends a lot of time jacking the DOM to lay things out
• This adapter takes care of the indirection for you

AngularJS? What about?

• Backbone.js
• Ember.js
• Spine
• KnockoutJS
• Agility
• Knockback
• ...whatever else the new hotness is

There are a lot of MVC/MVVM frameworks out there!

Cool Stuff About AngularJS

• Has the stuff you want to see in an MVC/MVVM framework
• You can use the pieces you want/need
• Stays out of the way
• Built-in Testability

Why I Looked At It

• Seemed to work well in a single page application (SPA) environment
• I liked the composability
• I was interested in what Google had done in this area
• See The Cool Stuff

A Caveat with JQuery Mobile Angular Adapter

• Because of the work it is doing to wire JQM and Angular together, it is very version-dependent
• Right now, that means
  • Angular 1.0.1
  • jQuery 1.7.1
  • jQuery Mobile 1.1.0

Show Me Something Already

OK, here are some quick samples:

(These links open in new tabs)

• Basic angular
• Angular + jQuery
• Angular + jQuery Mobile

What Is in the Tin

Multiple models/views per page

So you can have as many independent model/view interactions on a page as you like

jQuery mobile integration

If you can live with the version binding that is required, it is a nice MVC package for jqm

2-way data binding

This is sort of a bar that any respectable client-side MVC framework should get over

Shared controllers

These are nice, they let you share state across multiple controllers for things like logged-in sessions

Routing with HTML5 pushState

Goodbye hashbang! Huzzah!

User-definable and composable services

It is very easy to write a service to wrap an AJAX call into/out of a model class

Thank you!
