Starting-Blocks

adrien

Hey guys

I'm working on Starting-Blocks, trying to find and develop new features.
Starting-Blocks is a javascript router that we use to handle ajax requests and page transitions and to instanciate block (It fits pretty well with Roadiz. 😉)
https://github.com/rezozero/starting-blocks

We made some changes theses few months:

Rewriting and separate concerns (Router, Dom, Ajax, History, Prefetch...)
Web worker support (for ajax requests).
A new TransitionFactory to manage page transitions
A new demo to explain how work Starting-Blocks

Now I started a new branch to remove jQuery support for better performance.

Do you have any other suggestions or any feedbacks to improve Starting-Blocks ?

I think Starting-Blocks goal is to offer a clean and agnostic starter without any dependencies (no jQuery). You will be able to add your own CSS framework or JS additional libs later on your project.

Starting-blocks v5 is approaching. @adrien is working on a great release with a big cleanup and refactoring. No more jquery, no more loglevel, nor waitForImage. Only great ES6 services using the Dependency Injection Container pattern for a lighter bundle.

We are working hard on it with @adrien and the small amount of time we got to release a new BaseTheme with SB5. 😋

@martr I’ve pushed BaseTheme develop branch with Starting-blocks 5

https://github.com/roadiz/BaseTheme/tree/develop

You can get a quick-view of all changes on JS and Twig templates here. Keep in mind that develop branch requires Roadiz develop too as we added a new <picture> element rendering to support WebP serving.
