- 10. Why SharePoint & jQuery? • Let SharePoint do the heavy lifting! • Page Modifications – Remove Clutter – Improve Flow – Add business logic to forms • Call Web Services – Basic Workflow • Create/update/delete items based on user choices – Pull data in from other lists and sites • Create dashboards – TONS of free 3rd party libraries – Graphs, charts, dialogs, animations, etc
- 11. jQuery & SharePoint Basics The development process: • Create a Script • Add script to a page in SharePoint • Viola! Why? • Works in SharePoint 2007,2010,2013, & O365 • Great stepping stone to SharePoint Hosted whatever-they’re-called-today • No Visual Studio • No Add-in model • No Oauth (yay!)
- 12. jQuery & SharePoint Basics • Scripts execute with same privileges as current user • Permissions cannot be elevated • Interact with SharePoint List data using JavaScript Client Side Object Model (JSOM), REST, or SPServices • Deployment options • Add-In Model • Sandbox Solutions • Manual
- 13. jQuery Methods Commonly Used in SharePoint • Learn how SharePoint builds a page and how to traverse the DOM – Show / Hide information – Get / Set field values – Bind to events on elements
- 14. jQuery Basics <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function($){ //this script executes after the page is loaded //if you need to interact with the DOM put script here }) //Script placed here would execute before the page is finished loading. </script>
- 15. jQuery Basics <div id=“myID” attribute=“myAttribute” class=“myClass” ><b>Hello World</b></div>
- 16. jQuery Basics <div id=“myID” attribute=“myAttribute” class=“myClass” ><b>Hello World</b></div> //Retrieve the element by ID: $(“#myID”);
- 17. jQuery Basics <div id=“myID” attribute=“myAttribute” class=“myClass” ><b>Hello World</b></div> //Retrieve the element by attribute: $(“div[attribute=‘myAttribute’]”);
- 18. jQuery Basics <div id=“myID” attribute=“myAttribute” class=“myClass” ><b>Hello World</b></div> //Retrieve every div on the page $(“div”).each(function() { //”this” is the current element in each loop $(this).method(); }); //Hide all divs on the page $(“div”).hide();
- 19. jQuery Basics <div id=“myID” attribute=“myAttribute” class=“myClass” ><b>Hello World</b></div> //Retrieve every div of a specific class $(“div.myClass”).each(function() { //”this” is the current element in each loop $(this).method(); }); //Hide all divs of a specific class on the page $(“div.myClass”).hide(); //Hide all elements of a specific class on the page $(“.myClass”).hide();
- 20. jQuery Basics <div id=“myID” attribute=“myAttribute” class=“myClass” ><b>Hello World</b></div> //Retrieve the div that contains content “World” $(“div:contains(‘World’)”).each(function() { //”this” is the current element in each loop $(this).method(); });
- 21. jQuery Basics <div id=“myID” attribute=“myAttribute” class=“myClass” ><b>Hello World</b></div> • ` //Retrieve the formatted HTML for an element $(“#myID”).html(); //returns <b>Hello World</b> //Set the formatted HTML for an element $(“#myID”).html(“<b>Hello Nurse</b>”); //Retrieve the text with HTML formatting stripped out $(“#myID”).text(); //returns Hello World //Set the unformatted text of an element $(“#myID”).text(“Hello Nurse”);
- 22. MORE jQuery basics • //get input / select values • $(“#id”).val(); • //set input / select values • $(“#id”).val(“value”); • //uncheck a check box • $(“#id").removeAttr('checked'); • //check a check box • $(“#id").attr('checked','checked'); • //is a check box checked? • if ($(“#id”).is(':checked'))
- 23. MORE jQuery basics <tr id=‘myRow’><td><div id=‘myElement’></div><div id=‘myOtherElement’></div></td></tr>
- 24. MORE jQuery basics <tr id=‘myRow’><td><div id=‘myElement’></div><div id=‘myOtherElement’></div></td></tr> • //get the row that contains the div “myElement” • $(“#myElement”).closest(“tr”); • //get the cell that contains the div “myElement” • $(“#myElement”).closest(“td”); • Or • $(“#myElement”).parent();
- 25. MORE jQuery basics <tr id=‘myRow’><td><div id=‘myElement’></div><div id=‘myOtherElement’></div></td></tr> • //get the div AFTER myElement • $(“#myElement”).next(“div”); • Or • $(“#myElement”).next(); • //get the div BEFORE myOtherelement • $(“#myOtherElement”).prev(“div”); • Or • $(“#myOtherElement”).prev();

- 27. How About Some Best Practices? • Use the Element’s ID when possible • Reduce DOM searches • Re-use code / Good coding practices • Minimize files • Use animations to hide slow performance • Delay loading of Selects until you need the data
- 28. Using Third Party Libraries • Tips for selection and integration • Look for supported / documented libraries • Test in target browsers before implementing • Duplicate file structure • Test “vanilla” in SharePoint first

- 30. Let’s DO some stuff!!! I know!! It’s about time? Right?
- 31. jQueryUI • http://jqueryui.com/ • jQuery UI is a curated set of user interface interactions, effects, widgets, and themes built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library. Whether you're building highly interactive web applications or you just need to add a date picker to a form control, jQuery UI is the perfect choice.
- 32. jQueryUI– Basic Usage - Tabs <div id="tabs"> <ul> <li><a href="#tabs-1">Tab 1 title</a></li> <li><a href="#tabs-2">Tab 2 title</a></li> <li><a href="#tabs-3">Tab 3 title</a></li> </ul> <div id="tabs-1"> <p>content in tab 1</p> </div> <div id="tabs-2"> <p>content in tab 2</p> </div> <div id="tabs-3"> <p>content in tab 3</p> </div> </div> <script> $(function() { $( "#tabs" ).tabs(); }); </script>
