can-list-sort
is a plugin that makes it easy to define and maintain how items are arranged in a [can-list]. To use it,
set a comparator
[can-list::attr attr] on a [can-list]. It can be a String
or Function
.
Setting a comparator will sort the list immediately and, if your list is being listened to, will automatically sort when any of its items are changed:
var CanList = require("can-list");
require('can-list-sort');
var cart = new CanList([
{ title: 'Juice', price: 3.05 }
{ title: 'Butter', price: 3.50 },
{ title: 'Bread', price: 4.00 }
]);
cart.attr("comparator", 'price');
cart.bind("length", function(){});
cart.attr("0.price", 5);
cart; // -> [Butter, Bread, Juice]
And it will be kept in sorted order when items are pushed, unshifted, or spliced into the [can-list]:
var cart = new CanList([
{ title: 'Juice', price: 3.05 }
{ title: 'Butter', price: 3.50 },
{ title: 'Bread', price: 4.00 }
]);
cart.attr('comparator', 'price');
cart.bind("length", function(){});
cart.push({ title: 'Apple', price: 3.25 });
cart; // -> [Juice, Apple, Butter, Bread]
With StealJS, you can import this module directly in a template that is autorendered:
import plugin from 'can-list-sort';
Use require
to load can-list-sort
and everything else needed to create a template that uses can-list-sort
:
var plugin = require("can-list-sort");
Configure the can
and jquery
paths and the can-list-sort
package:
<script src="https://github.com/canjs/can-list-sort/raw/master/require.js"></script>
<script>
require.config({
paths: {
"jquery": "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery",
"can": "node_modules/canjs/dist/amd/can"
},
packages: [{
name: 'can-list-sort',
location: 'node_modules/can-list-sort/dist/amd',
main: 'lib/can-list-sort'
}]
});
require(["main-amd"], function(){});
</script>
Load the global
version of the plugin:
<script src='./node_modules/can-list-sort/dist/global/can-list-sort.js'></script>
To make a build of the distributables into dist/
in the cloned repository run
npm install
node build
Tests can run in the browser by opening a webserver and visiting the test.html
page.
Automated tests that run the tests from the command line in Firefox can be run with
npm test
