NoccyLabs JSL

This is a collection of libraries that make working with JavaScript and data.

Each component is available in it's own file, and example/default stylesheets are available in separate files.

date.js

WORK IN PROGRESS!

This component makes working with dates less of a pain.

import { date, Timestamp } from "./date.js";

// now
const now = date();

// nothing below here in this example works, to be implemented!

// tomorrow
const tomorrow = date().add({days:1});

// yesterday
const yesterday = now.sub({ days:1 });

// sometime
const custom = date("2025-09-01 15:00:42 +02:00");

// format dates, php style
let ts = now.format("Y-m-d H:i:s P");

dialog.js

This component creates dialogs on the fly, and resolves a promise when the dialog is accepted.

import { dialog } from "./dialog.js";

// show a message box
dialog.msgbox("Something");

// show a message box and do something when dismissed
dialog.msgbox("Ready!").then(
  function (result) {
    // do something!
  }
);

// show a confirmation in an async callback
... async () => {
  const result = await dialog.confirm("Are you sure about that?");
  if (result === "ok") {
    // do it
  }
}

// show custom actions in a custom select style dialog
dialog.select("Put in warehouse", "Select", { "none":"None", "1":"WH1", "2":"WH2" }).then(...)

dom.js

This file offers dom and el that can be used to manipulate the DOM.

import { dom, el } from "./dom.js";

// build DOM
const myDiv = el.div({ class: "form-row" }, [
  el.label({ class:"form-label", for:"myInput" }, "Label"),
  el.input({ class:"form-control", id:"myInput", type:"text" })
]);

// update element attributes
dom.apply(myDiv, { style:"font-weight:bold;" });

// append children
dom.append(myDiv, [
  "Some text",
  el.span()
]);

json.js

This component contains tools to query and update data structures using simplified JSON paths.

import { jsonQuery, jsonPatch } from './json.js';

let model = {
  name: "Bob",
  info: {
    age: 42
  }
};

jsonQuery(model, ".name") // → "Bob"
jsonPatch(model, ".name", "Bobby"); // → { name:"Bobby", info:{ age:42 }}

let items = [
  { "name": "cheese", "price": "5.99" },
  { "name": "wine", "price": "2.99" }
];

jsonQuery(items, "[].name") // → [ "cheese", "wine" ]

jsonform.js

This component not only builds forms and allow you to map it against paths in a model dataset, but it also allows you to do inline editing of your data, with type mapping.

import { JsonForm, TextField } from "./jsonform.js";

const productForm = new JsonForm();
productForm.addRow()
  .append(new TextField({ label:"Product name", path:".product.name", width:70 })
  .append({ label:"Price", path:".price" });

myTargetEl.appendChild(productForm.dom());

productForm.model = {
  product: {
    name: "Swedish Fish"
  },
  price: "9.99"
};
