partial.js client-side routing

Framework supports the HTML 5 History API, for older browsers (IE8+) URL hashtag is automatically enabled. This plugin is a little big cannon for the web development. Works best with jQuery.

• easy to use
• minified only 9.5 kB (without GZIP compression)
• great functionality
• great use
• works in IE 8+
• no dependencies
• DEMO EXAMPLE

MUST SEE:

• jQuery two way bindings
• jQuery templating engine according to partial.js
• Web application framework for node.js - partial.js

Simple example

// ===========================
// DEFINE ROUTING

// framework === global variable

framework.route('/homepage/', view_homepage, ['contact']);
framework.route('/services/', view_services, ['contact']);
framework.route('/contact/', view_contact, ['empty']);
framework.route('/products/{category}/', view_products, ['latest']);

// ===========================
// DEFINE PARTIAL CONTENT

framework.partial('contact', function() {
    $('#panel').html('PANEL CONTACT');
});

framework.partial('empty', function() {
    $('#panel').html('PANEL EMPTY');
});

framework.partial('latest', function() {
    $('#panel').html('PANEL LATEST');
});

// ===========================
