%STARTSECTION{"summary"}%
This plugin allows to delay rendering parts of a page that are loaded later on asynchronously
and patched into the page.
%ENDSECTION{"summary"}%

%TOC%

---++ Usage

Add the =%<nop>JQREQUIRE{"loader"}%= macro to the page that you want to use this module on.
Then add the ==jqLoader== css class to the div (or verbatim) element which will serve as
a container for the content to be loaded. Any ==jqLoader== container requires either
an ==url== or a ==section== parameter to specify the location from where to load the content.

Parameter are specified using JQueryMetadata, as in 

<verbatim class="html">
<div class="jqLoader {key:'value', ....}"></div>
</verbatim>

| *Parameter* | *Description* | *Default* |
| url | the full url from where the content, e.g. =url:'%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/MyWeb/MyTopic?section=mysection;skin=text'= | |
| section | the section within the topic (see %SYSTEMWEB%.VarSTARTSECTION) | |
| mode | specify whether the content is either loaded automatically or by clicking on the container; \
         possible values: =auto=, =manual= | =auto= |
| placeholder | the image to be displayed as long as the content hasn't been loaded \
              | <img src='%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/JQueryPlugin/images/spinner.gif' width='16' height='16' /> |
| effect | the effect used when showing the loaded content; possible values are: show, fade, slide, blind, clip, drop, explode, fold, puff, pulsate, highlight | =fade= |
| effectspeed | the effect speed in milliseconds used in animated display modes | 500 |
| effectopts | additional options for the selected =effect=; possible values vary depending on the actual effect being used | |
| delay | additional time in miliseconds to delay fetching the content from the content; specifying =0= means load the content immediately; any other value will wait that time until issuing the request | 0 |
| onload | a !JavaScript function called when the content has been loaded | |
| beforeload | a !JavaScript function called before the content is requested | |
| finished | a !JavaScript function called when the content has been loaded and displayed on the page | |

The =jqLoader= element is able to receive !JavaScript events and process them accordingly. Similarly these
events can be used to hook your own callbacks to be processed when they are fired.

| *Event* | *Description* |
| refresh.jqLoader | when triggered will reload the content from the backend |
| beforeload.jqLoader | is triggered before requesting the content from the backend (see =beforeload= parameter above) |
| onload.jqLoader | is triggered when the content has been successfully been loaded (see =onload= parameter above) |
| finished.jqLoader | is triggered when content has been loaded and finally been displayed on the page (see =finished= parameter above) |

---++ Examples

<verbatim class="tml">
%JQREQUIRE{"loader"}%
<verbatim class="jqLoader {section:'recentchanges', effect:'fade'}" id="myLoader">
%STARTSECTION{"recentchanges"}%<!-- -->
%SEARCH{
    "'1'" 
    web="%BASEWEB%" 
    type="query" 
    nonoise="on" 
    order="modified" 
    reverse="on"
    limit="10"
    format="<p class='foswikiSearchResult'>[[$web.$topic]] $date - $rev - $wikiusername</p>"
}%
<!-- -->%ENDSECTION{"recentchanges"}%
</verbatim>
</verbatim>

... if installed:

%JQREQUIRE{"loader"}%
<div class="jqLoader {section:'recentchanges', effect:'%URLPARAM{"effect" default="fade"}%'}" id="myLoader"></div>

<div class="foswikiLeft">
  <label for="effect"><b>Effect:</b></label>
  <select id="effect" name="effect" class="foswikiSelect">
  %FORMAT{
    "blind, clip, drop, explode, fade, fold, highlight, puff, pulsate, show, slide"
    type="string"
    format="<option $percntIF{\"'%URLPARAM{"effect" default="fade"}%'='$item'\" then=\"selected\"}$percnt>$item</option>"
  }%
  </select>
  &nbsp;
</div>
%BUTTON{
  "%MAKETEXT{"Refresh"}%" 
  icon="arrow_refresh" 
  onclick="jQuery('#myLoader').trigger('refresh', {effect: jQuery('#effect').val()});return false;"
}%
