Calling JavaScript

[490...@swansea.ac.uk]

Hi All.

A relatively simple question for you to answer I'm sure but how do you
call a Julius script from the default Hamlet layout? I'm using a
scaffolded site (to mess around before starting my masters project).

I have some experience with web-programming but from a HTML, PHP, C#
perspective and so I'm used to embedding JavaScript directly into the
HTML and it executing on page load (or command).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris.

You could use jquery for this.

To expand, I think what you're looking for is registering a callback
for page load. You could do it in jQuery with something like:

$(function(){
alert("Page loaded");
});

Chris, I hesitate to give my advice because I am a haskell newb.

I haven't tested this, but in theory you should just be able to create a deafult-layout.julius and that should be invoked with default-layout.hamlet

What I have done for myself is created a widget inside of Foundation.hs which I then call within my default-layout.

The type synonyms aren't "there yet" in Foundation.hs so the type signature for the widget is

myEverythingWidget :: GWidget sub App ()

myEverythingWidget = do

  addScriptRemote "/static/js/myJsLibrary.js"

  toWidget[julius|  

$(function(){ alert ("page loaded"); {);

]

Then within your default-layout.hamlet

just call your widget normally

^{myEverythingWidget}
