jQuery-like chained standard framework?

Hey peeps;

I was thinking today that something like this may be fun. A little mix of jQuery and GS2.

The idea is to have a standard framework that would make GS2 more accessible to the newer scripters around here, and at the same time, introduce a level of standards to the way things are done with GScript.

Class: gquery

PHP Code:


		
			
// gQuery

// By Robin

// June 2009



function onCreated() {

  this._player = NULL;

}



public function g(pl) {

  this.find(pl);

  return this;

}



public function find(pl) {

  temp.plr = findplayerbycommunityname(pl);

  if (plr == NULL)

    for (temp.i = 0; i < allplayerscount; i++)

      if (allplayers[i].nick == pl && allplayers[i].level.length() > 0)

        plr = allplayers[i];

        

  if (plr == NULL)

    this.log("Player" SPC pl SPC "not found");

  else

    this._player = plr;

  

  return this;

}



public function nick(str) {

  if (this._player != NULL)

    this._player.nick = str;

  else

    this.log("Please select player");

  

  return this;

}



public function warp(dlvl,dx,dy) {

  if (this._player != NULL)

    this._player.setlevel2(dlvl,dx,dy);

  else

    this.log("Please select player");

  

  return this;

}



function log(msg) {

  echo("gQuery: " + msg);

}



//#CLIENTSIDE



function g(pl) {

  this._player = pl;

  return this;

}



function warp(lvl, dx, dy) {

  triggerserver("gui", "-gQuery", "warp", this._player, lvl, {dx, dy});

  return this;

}



function nick(str) {

  triggerserver("gui", "-gQuery", "nick", this._player, str);

  return this;

}

Weapon: -gQuery

PHP Code:


		
			
// gQuery

// By Robin

// June 2009



function onCreated() {

  join("gquery");

}



function onActionServerside() {

  switch (params[0]) {

    case "warp":

      g(params[1])

       .warp(params[2], params[3][0], params[3][1]);

    break;

    case "nick":

      g(params[1])

       .nick(params[2]);

    break;

  }  

}

Here's a real world example:

PHP Code:


		
			
  // Sends a user to jail

  function onCreated() {

    join("gquery");

    g("Paradoxical")

     .warp("jail.nw", 30, 30)

     .nick("jailed");

  }

It would even work clientside

PHP Code:


		
			
  //#CLIENTSIDE

  // Sends a user to jail

  function onCreated() {

    join("gquery");

    g("Paradoxical")

     .warp("jail.nw", 30, 30)

     .nick("jailed");

  }

No script changes and it works both ways!

Really what I need is constructive comments and future improvements, ideas and bug reports. I think this could be good for the newer scripters to get a grips with working with a programming language and help with the great transition from clientside to serverside.

So, thoughts, comments, flames, bring it on!

That is one horrible syntax to look at.

I fail to see how I weren't being constructive in my last post.

Saying it has a horrible syntax without giving a reason is failing to be constructive.

It is modeled on the jQuery syntax:

PHP Code:


		
			
  jQuery('blockquote').each(function(el) {
    alert(jQuery(this).text());
  });

I was thinking of implementing an each function

PHP Code:


		
			
  g(allplayers).in("osl.nw").each(function(pl) {
    g(pl)
     .warp("jail.nw", 30, 30)
     .nick("jailed for lack of constructive critisicm");
  });

I'm not sure if it would work like that but it looks like it might =o

Actually, keep up the mean Ziro, I'm getting some good ideas :O

That's actually a pretty nice idea and I like how it looks. My only idea was the .each thing you already thought of >_< I will try to come up with something new though.

Aaaaaaand, drumroll please...

I've redone and documented the script, so me and Robin are pleased to give you gQuery 2.0!

Simply open the .gs2 file in notepad and paste it in the class "gquery" on your server, use the weapon at the start of this post to interface with it.

The documentation is done by doxygen, and I have included the html for those who want it on their hard-drive, simply run the index.html in the html folder of the .zip to view it.

For those who don't want the documentation as a hard copy, delete it after extracting the .zip, I'll be editing this post in a few minutes to include a link to it hosted by Robin.

That's absolutely awesome! =o <3
