Bowser
It's like Browser
, but smaller. It provides minimal browser support for libraries and frameworks which don't need the full spectrum of support from opal-browser
.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'bowser'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install bowser
Usage
Inside your front-end app:
require 'bowser'
Bowser.document # Handle to the current document
Bowser.window # Handle to the current window
AJAX support
To make HTTP requests to your API, for example, you can do:
Bowser::HTTP.fetch('/api/things')
It returns a Promise
, which you can call then
, fail
, or always
on in order to execute a block of code based on success, failure, or either one, respectively.
Bowser::HTTP.fetch(url)
.then { |response| do_something_with(response.json) }
.fail { |exception| warn exception. }
.always { log "Fetched #{url}" }
The current implementation uses the Promise
class from the Opal standard library, but it is not fully A+-compliant, so we're in the process of implementing our own.
