Description

Author

Thierry Feuzeu

This package can call PHP classes from JavaScript using AJAX.

It can register objects of classes or global functions and process AJAX requests that are handled by the registered functions.

The package can register directories of classes, so it is not necessary to register each class in each directory at once, with support to namespaces.

The classes are autoloaded on demand, so only the classes that necessary for each AJAX request will be loaded.

The AJAX calls are done by a separate JavaScript library which can eventually be retrieved from a CDN (Content Delivery Networt) so it does not have to be installed by this package.

Many Web applications have browser side (JavaScript) code making AJAX calls to server side code in PHP that is mapped to classes of objects.

Usually the server side code needs to register classes or functions that will handle the AJAX calls.

However, when you have many classes to handle your Web application AJAX calls, registering classes one by one can be a tedious time consuming task.

The package provides a more efficient method to register many classes at once. You just specify a directory and the package will lookup and load the classes on demand when the AJAX calls are received.

This way you also do not have to waste time instantiating objects of the handler classes until they are necessary.

<?php



require (__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');



use Jaxon\Jaxon;

use Jaxon\Response\Response;

use Jaxon\Request\Factory as xr;



class HelloWorld

{

    public function sayHello($isCaps)

    {

        if ($isCaps)

            $text = 'HELLO WORLD!';

        else

            $text = 'Hello World!';



        $xResponse = new Response();

        $xResponse->assign('div2', 'innerHTML', $text);



        return $xResponse;

    }



    public function setColor($sColor)

    {

        $xResponse = new Response();

        $xResponse->assign('div2', 'style.color', $sColor);

        

        return $xResponse;

    }

}



// Register object

$jaxon = jaxon();



$jaxon->readConfigFile(__DIR__ . '/config/class.php', 'lib');



$jaxon->register(Jaxon::CALLABLE_OBJECT, new HelloWorld());



// Process the request, if any.

$jaxon->processRequest();



?>

<script type='text/javascript'>

    /* <![CDATA[ */

    window.onload = function() {

        // Call the HelloWorld class to populate the 2nd div

        <?php echo xr::call('HelloWorld.sayHello', 0) ?>;

        // call the HelloWorld->setColor() method on load

        <?php echo xr::call('HelloWorld.setColor', xr::select('colorselect')) ?>;

    }

    /* ]]> */

                        <div class="col-md-12" id="div2">

Details

The Jaxon core library

Jaxon is an open source PHP library for easily creating Ajax web applications. It allows into a web page to make direct Ajax calls to PHP classes that will in turn update its content, without reloading the entire page.

Jaxon is a fork of the Xajax PHP library.

This package is the Jaxon core library. Several plugins are provided in separate packages.

Features

All the Jaxon classes in a directory can be registered in one shot, possibly with a namespace.
The configuration settings can be loaded from a file. Supported formats are JSON, YAML and PHP.
The library provides pagination feature out of the box.
The library is modular, and consists of a core package and several plugin packages.
The javascript library is provided in a separated and javascript-only package, loaded by default from the jsDelivr CDN.
The generated javascript classes are named according to their namespace or the subdirectory where they are located.
All PHP packages install with `Composer`, are fully namespaced, and implement `PSR-4` autoloading.
The library natively implements Ajax file upload.
Up to version 3, the library runs on PHP versions 5.4 to 7.X. The version 4 runs on PHP versions 7.1 to 8.X.

Documentation

The project documentation is available in English and French.

Some sample codes (only for version 2.x) are provided in the jaxon-php/jaxon-examples package, and demonstrated in the website.
