rloader


Jquery based resource loader

Loads resources like css and js files when you need them with one line of code.

It keeps track off the items that allready have been loaded. If the same resource is called (loaded) twice it will load it only once.

This is handy when you load pieces of content (widgets) with Ajax that needs the same resources. This form off loading items is also called lazy loading and it can REALLY REALLY help you to speed up websites and webapplications.

This plugin is very simple, but effective in use.. So Enjoy

Usage

CSS parameters

  • src:
  • cache: default: true (see the global settings)
  • callback: name of your function fired when loading is done
  • arg: arguments, parameters for your callback function

JS parameters

  • src:
  • async: default: true (see the global settings)
  • cache: default: true (see the global settings)
  • callback: name of your function fired when loading is done
  • arg: arguments, parameters for your callback function

Events

  • event 'beforeload' Fired before the list gets loaded.
  • event 'onready' Fired when every resource in the list is loaded (finished).

parameters:

func: name of your function fired when loading is done

arg: optional arguments, parameters to parse to your callback function

Making global settings

You can make global settings that rloader will use as a default for all resources. When the parameters are omitted in the resources (css or js), the global settings will be used as the default !

  • defaultcache: default: true (so use browser caching by default)
  • defaultasync: default: true (so load it async by default)

Examples

Load 1 resource

$.rloader({src:'/js/ctpgn.widget.min.js', callback:initwidget, arg:'MyArg'});


Loads 2 resources $.rloader([ {src:'/css/widget.css'},{src:'/js/ctpgn.widget.min.js'} ]); note: the default async and cache options will be used


Loads 2 resources and fires an event when ready $.rloader([ {src:'/css/widget.css'},{src:'/js/ctpgn.widget.min.js'}, {event:'onready', func:'init_widget', arg:<parameters>} ]); note: the default async and cache options will be used


Changing global settings $.rloader({defaultcache:false});
