JavaScript Extensions

All extensions available for free download. All extensions are covered by my Source Code Policy.

Language Enhancements

• DP_DateExtensions: A library which extends the JavaScript date object with comprehensive date and time formatting functions and ISO 8601 compatibility (both parsing and formatting).

Development Tools

• DP_Debug (JavaScript Debugging Extensions): This library extends the JavaScript object prototype with functions to assist in debugging. You gain the ability to "dump" any JS object to the screen for review and a type identifier with more resultion than the "typeof" operator.

Utilities

• DP_AlphaWords: This library converts a string to a list of words beginning with the letters of the string. For example the word "CAT" could be converted to "Charlie Alpha Tango". The words can be used to ensure proper spelling when communicating the string to others.

Abstraction Components

• DP_PanelManager: An object which normalizes positioning, sizing, opacity, visibility and event handling of HTML elements across browsers.
• DP_QueryString: An object which simplifies access to and manipulation of query string parameters.
• DP_Cookies: An object which simplifies access to and manipulation of client-side cookies.
• DP_RequestPool: A component which simplifies the management of multiple HTTP requests in JavaScript applications.
• DP_ObCollection: The DP_ObCollection ("Object Collection") is used to mantain and manipulate multiple instances of a JavaScript objects ("Members" of the collection) where the order of the objects is unimportant. The object abstracts common group tasks like adding, dropping, member type validation and so forth.
• DP_ObCollectionOrdered: Similar to the DP_ObCollection the DP_ObCollectionOrdered ("Object Collection Ordered") is used to mantain and manipulate multiple JavaScript objects in order ("ranked"). Using this object you can easily promote, demote, swap object ranks, return ordered lists, etc.

Data Exchange

• DP_YODEL: This function provides serialization and deserilization services for implementing the YODEL data exchange dialect in JavaScript.
• DP_WDDX: This function provides serialization and deserilization services for implementing the WDDX data exchange dialect in JavaScript.
