For those two or three who missed it, Yahoo! released two libraries
yesterday: the Yahoo! Design Patterns
Library and the Yahoo! User Interface
Library. I particularly like the UI library.
First of all, it was released under as open source, so as long as you include
the copyright at the top, it looks like you can use it. I checked out their
JavaScript code and it looks pretty good. It seems that the whole object { name : value }
* notation of declaring objects is becoming more popular. It
is also becoming much more common to see entire frameworks being developed (I’m
thinking of the JavaScript libraries that come with
Atlas). Anyway, interesting stuff. It will be a lot
easier to add some nice, production quality JavaScript to pages now.
* Instead of:
var newObject = new (function () {
this.name = value
})()
It is:
var newObject = {
name: value;
}
