Dynamically assign ui in JSON stored manifest?

You can‘t use HTML data attributes as both DOM selectors and data pointers. Although you can try to generate manifest on the fly after page load.

Init function can take your div, parse it and dynamically generate child manifest, that will then be bound as a child form.

To notice, your approach looks extremely cryptic.

Ah, child form - that solves it completely!

I'm basically using jQuery.my to edit page content, maybe that is why it looks cryptic?

By the way, does a child form take a performance hit?
Compared to cloudwall.me manifest, mine are tiny so shouldn't be a problem in any case.

does a child form take a performance hit

Child forms are highly optimized, so it‘s insignificant, nearly zero.

BTW, there‘s a proof of concept, what can be done using $.my for extreme content editing, see http://inliner.cloudwall.me/ddlab/_inliner#144184061501ff0vgzjf. Hope it can help in some way.

Oh, to add. You can set params:{strict:true} for child manifest you generate using init, to skip unjson traverser. It can give you millisecond or two during child form initialization.

Really nice inline editor! I like the idea.

What i initially started with is blocks of custom server-rendered content, each block have a content editing form that uses jQuery.my for the live-editing and loading from JSON database. Works great!

But some blocks have really bad performance especially on re-rendering from the server, so the new approach is to edit only smaller parts (like in this case the header) upon clicking on it. This solved the performance and re-rendering-time issue.

Thanks for the tip, will do some tests with this and see how it works.

By the way, i see no way to donate to jQuery.my's development?

Thanks for the offert to help with specific issues, i will get back to you on that if i get into issues.

I don't really like to bother maintainers with these questions, but when it's such a specific system there really is no other place to ask.

I understand what you mean with donating to OSS projects, i often check if the project have a company backing it and if they do - i donate the spare money to the smaller ones without company backing first.

When/if i can afford to hire a full-time developer to work on this "app" I'm making, then I'll contribute to the development of jQuery.my by submitting potential new features, fixes, code. I think that's the best way to give back to any OSS project, to contribute to it's development.
