Hi,
I''ve put together a basic translator for JavaScript to Facebook
JavaScript. You can check it out on GitHub or even get as a plugin if
your running Rails 2.1,
http://github.com/jordanr/js2fbjs/tree/master
script/plugin install git://github.com/jordanr/js2fbjs.git
It should work immediately with Facebooker. I hooked it into Facebooker
and Rails through render. Right away, it''ll parse whatever you are
rendering and then try to rewrite it back into Facebook JavaScript. If it
fails, it leaves alone your code.
As of now, it rewrites,
* DOM accessors --> Facebook getter/setters
* confirm("...") --> Facebook dialogs
* setAttribute(''foo'', ''bar'') -->
setFoo(''bar'')
* style.foo = ''bar'' --> setStyle(''foo'',
''bar'')
Mike, do you think this idea is worth while? People don''t have to
learn
fbjs and Rails helpers work. Imagine sending prototype.js through it and
having facebooker.js come out!
Sincerely,
Richard
