=dat.GUI=
|
||
|
A lightweight graphical user interface for changing variables in JavaScript.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Get started with dat.GUI by reading the tutorial at [http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui].
|
||
|
|
||
|
----
|
||
|
|
||
|
==Packaged Builds==
|
||
|
The easiest way to use dat.GUI in your code is by using the built source at {{{build/dat.gui.min.js}}}. These built JavaScript files bundle all the necessary dependencies to run dat.GUI.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In your {{{head}}} tag, include the following code:
|
||
|
{{{
|
||
|
<script type="text/javascript" src="dat.gui.min.js"></script>
|
||
|
}}}
|
||
|
|
||
|
----
|
||
|
|
||
|
==Using dat.GUI with require.js==
|
||
|
Internally, dat.GUI uses [http://requirejs.org/ require.js] to handle dependency management. If you're making changes to the source and want to see the effects of your changes without building, use require js.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In your {{{head}}} tag, include the following code:
|
||
|
{{{
|
||
|
<script data-main="path/to/main" src="path/to/requirejs/require.js"></script>
|
||
|
}}}
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then, in {{{path/to/main.js}}}:
|
||
|
{{{
|
||
|
require([
|
||
|
'path/to/gui/module/GUI'
|
||
|
], function(GUI) {
|
||
|
|
||
|
// No namespace necessary
|
||
|
var gui = new GUI();
|
||
|
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
}}}
|
||
|
|
||
|
----
|
||
|
|
||
|
==Directory Contents==
|
||
|
* build: Concatenated source code.
|
||
|
* src: Modular code in [http://requirejs.org/ require.js] format. Also includes css, [http://sass-lang.com/ scss], and html, some of which is included during build.
|
||
|
* tests: [https://github.com/jquery/qunit QUnit] test suite.
|
||
|
* utils: [http://nodejs.org/ node.js] utility scripts for compiling source.
|
||
|
|
||
|
----
|
||
|
|
||
|
==Building your own dat.GUI==
|
||
|
|
||
|
In the terminal, enter the following:
|
||
|
|
||
|
{{{
|
||
|
$ cd utils
|
||
|
$ node build_gui.js
|
||
|
}}}
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will create a namespaced, unminified build of dat.GUI at {{{build/dat.gui.js}}}
|
||
|
|
||
|
_To export minified source using Closure Compiler, open {{{utils/build_gui.js}}} and set the {{{minify}}} parameter to {{{true}}}._

==Change log==
|
||
|
|
||
|
===0.5===
|
||
|
* Moved to requirejs for dependency management.
|
||
|
* Changed global namespace from *DAT* to *dat* (lowercase).
|
||
|
* Added support for color controllers. See [http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#4--Color-Controllers Color Controllers].
|
||
|
* Added support for folders. See [http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#3--Folders Folders].
|
||
|
* Added support for saving named presets. See [http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/examples/gui/#6--Presets Presets].
|
||
|
* Removed `height` parameter from GUI constructor. Scrollbar automatically induced when window is too short.
|
||
|
* `dat.GUI.autoPlace` parameter removed. Use `new dat.GUI( { autoPlace: false } )`. See [http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#9--Custom-Placement Custom Placement].
|
||
|
* `gui.autoListen` and `gui.listenAll()` removed. See [http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#11--Updating-the-Display-Manually Updating The Display Manually].
|
||
|
* `dat.GUI.load` removed. See [http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#5--Saving-Values Saving Values].
|
||
|
* Made Controller code completely agnostic of GUI. Controllers can easily be created independent of a GUI panel.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
===0.4===
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Migrated from GitHub to Google Code.
