MooTools Gives You More
Over the past couple of months, a huge addition to the MooTools plugin structure has been brewing. Today the MooTools team and its contributors are proud to announce the release of MooTools More: a huge addition of Clientcide plugins by Aaron Newton and bug fixes and enhancements to original plugins. From the MooTools blog:
What's in it you ask? Well, let me tell you. The new and improved -more currently includes:
- Class extensions including a Binds mutator, easier refactoring, chain pausing and more.
- New Native extensions including more love for String and Array, plus a fully featured Date Native and a URI extension to make managing links downright fun.
- More Element love with help for managing text selection and relative positioning (put this box's lower right corner next to the upper right corner of that other box…)
- Form love including a robust and extensible form validator and a class for displaying hint text over an input.
- Extended Request functionality including JSONP support and Queuing.
- Support for language localization for classes that output text (days of the month, months of the year, form validation errors, etc)
I'm happy to say that I contributed to More but most of the credit goes to Aaron for his leadership and drive in getting More out there. Congratulations to the MooTools team and be sure to grab MooTools More RC1.
As long as it’s backward compatible and don’t have the same issues as going from 1.1 to 1.2 had, I’m on board… I don’t think that mootools can survive another fiasco like the 1.1 to 1.2 upgrade…
Sounds good! I especially like the inclusion of “text selection and relative positioning”. Am I right in saying that this release is essentially a collection of the best classes/plugins?
Anyhow, nice work MooTools! :)
I’ve found two errors in the no compression file; one in the dutch date language file and one in the Html request class. In both cases there is a comma missing. Not a very big deal but I think it’s a pity when you add some new functionalities to a framework and the whole framework doensn’t work because of a bug in the syntax… Maybe some new mootools users will get their questionmarks about this framework. But I love mootools and I’m fallin in love again ;)
Keep up the good work Mootools development team!
Congrats, David and the rest of the Moo crew!
It’s great the introduction of JSONP… i use it from clientcide, but it’s better if i have it in mootools more…
