Javascript Library Base (English)

Never it is capitato, developing code to you client-side, of porvi questions like: "but as the dimensions of an element are estimated" or: "I must validate an address email but that one regular expression just not me the memory!" or still: "accidents, it would be better to eliminate the spaces begins them from this tightens". Beh, to me yes! And a lot often. Therefore every time I find myself to scartabellare between the old plans to the search of "that function that me memory of to have already written" or to carry out a search in Internet of that code that me seems face to the case mine. Tired with these peregrinations, I have put all the indispensable functions in beautiful rows Javascript: I hope can be useful also to you as it it is to me!
String: trim, lTrim and rTrim
In Javascript the lack of the functions is felt Trim(), LTrim() and RTrim() of VBScript in order to remove the spaces it begins them and/or final from one it tightens:
function trim()
{
var newstr = this "";
newstr = newstr.lTrim();
newstr = newstr.rTrim();
return newstr;
}
String.prototype.trim = trim;
function lTrim()
{
var newstr = this "";
while(newstr.charAt(0) == " ")
newstr = newstr.substring(1, newstr.length);
return newstr;
}
String.prototype.lTrim = lTrim;
function rTrim()
{
var newstr = this "";
while(newstr.charAt(newstr.length - 1) == " ")
newstr = newstr.substring(0, newstr.length - 1);
return newstr;
}
String.prototype.rTrim = rTrim;
String: replaceText
The method replace it is much powerful one, accepting one regular expression for the definition of the substitution criterion. Often but a simple method of substitution of characters would be sufficient:
function replaceText(pattern, substitute)
{
return this.split(pattern).join(substitute);
}
String.prototype.replaceText = replaceText;
Verification of one given
In order to verify if the day values, month and year correspond to one given valid:
function isDate(year, month, day)
{
var d = day "";
var m = month "";
var y = year "";
if((d == "") || ( m == "") || ( y == ""))
return false;
if(isNaN(d) || isNaN(m) || isNaN(y))
return false;
if(((parseFloat(d) "") != (parseInt(d, 10) "")) || ((parseFloat(m) "") != (parseInt(m, 10) "")) || ((parseFloat(y) "") != (parseInt(y, 10) "")))
return false;
d = parseInt(d, 10);
m = parseInt(m, 10);
y = parseInt(y, 10);
if(d < 1 || m < 1 || y < 1)
return false;
if(m < 1 || m > 12)
return false;
if((m == 1 || m == 3 || m == 5 || m == 7 || m == 8 || m == 10 || m == 12) && (d > 31))
return false;
if((m == 4 || m == 6 || m == 9 || m == 11) && (d > 30))
return false;
if((m == 2) && (d > 29))
return false;
if((m == 2) && (!isLeapYear(y)) && (d == 29))
return false;
return true;
}
function isLeapYear(year) // Check leap year
{
return ((year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || ((year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 == 0) && (year % 400 == 0)));
}
Verification of an address email
In order to verify if one tightens it corresponds to a syntactically valid address email:
function isValidEmail(email)
{
var re = /^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"] (\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"] )*)|(\". \"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9] \.) [a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/
return re.test(email);
}
To obtain the position of an element: getElementPosition
The function as an example receives like parameter the reference to the object - gained by means of document.getElementById(object id) - and of it it gives back the position in pixel (top and left)
function getElementPosition(obj)
{
var t = 0;
var l = 0;
if (obj.offsetParent)
{
while (obj.offsetParent)
{
t = obj.offsetTop;
l = obj.offsetLeft;
obj = obj.offsetParent;
}
}
else if (obj.y && obj.x)
{
t = obj.y;
l = obj.x;
}
return {left : l, top : t};
}
To obtain the dimensions of an element: getElementSize
The function as an example receives like parameter the reference to the object - gained by means of document.getElementById(object id) - and of it it gives back the dimensions in pixel (width and height)
function getElementSize(obj)
{
var w = obj.offsetWidth;
var h = obj.offsetHeight;
return {width : w, height : h};
}
