JarCastingjQuery-typing with events and data-api support
Assign callbacks for started/stopped typing events. This version supports events and data-api and is backwards compatible with original version by narf.
Usage (events automatically attached just-in-time based on the data API - bootstrap style)
$(body).bind('typing:start', ':input', function(event) { $(this).css('background', '#fa0'); }); $(body).bind('typing:start', ':input', function(event) { $(this).css('background', '#f00'); });Alternative Usage
$(':text').typing({
start: function (event, $elem) {
$elem.css('background', '#fa0');
},
stop: function (event, $elem) {
$elem.css('background', '#f00');
},
delay: 400
});
Add data-provide="typing" attribute to your input and it will auto-magically start triggering typing:start and typing:stop events - you can treat these as ony other DOM events. This comes handy when working with frameworks like Backbone JS.
typing command takes key-value object with start, stop and delay keys. They are all optional, so you can either pass only start callback, stop callback, stop callback and delay time, or everything.
delay is amount of time the plugin waits for another keypress before judging that typing has stopped; it is expressed in milliseconds and defaults to 400. Regardless of delay's value, the stop callback is called immediately when blur event occurs.
Callbacks are passed two arguments: event that caused callback execution and jQuery object for matched element. Possible events are keypress or keydown for start callbacks and keyup or blur for stop callbacks.
