A DustPress plugin that provides a handy JavaScript library for using your DustPress Model methods on the front end.
You can call for SomeModel’s method “SomeMethod” with the following call:
dp("SomeModel/SomeMethod", {
tidy: true,
success: function( data ) {
// do what you want with the data
},
error: function( error ) {
// possible error
}
});
You can also call protected methods from the Models, even if they are not run automatically. You have to define an array property with the name $allowed_functions to your model and list in that array the names of the methods that are allowed to be run via AJAX.
tidy: true parameter cleans up the data tree a bit for more usability. Feel free to try the queries with and without it to see the difference.
If you want, you can even render HTML with Dust templates.
dp("SomeModel/SomeMethod", {
partial: "SomePartial",
success: function( data ) {
// do what you want with the data
},
error: function( error ) {
// possible error
}
});
This code takes the data of SomeMethod and renders it with SomePartial. Variable data then contains the ready html.
You can also omit the method completely if you want to get the data of a complete model.
dp("SomeModel", {
success: function( data ) {
// do what you want with the data
},
error: function( error ) {
// possible error
}
});
If you want to call several functions but not all at once, you can do so by replacing the method’s name on the call with a comma-separated list.
dp("SomeModel/SomeMethod,AnotherMethod", {
success: function( data ) {
// data.SomeMethod and data.AnotherMethod contain the return values
},
error: function( error ) {
// possible error
}
});
Now data will consist of an object with the methods’ names as keys and their return values as the values. Obviously you can also render that to HTML as well.
