Product Analysis

Javascript frameworks and libraries
Dojo Toolkit (Dojo) is an advanced JavaScript toolkit which is lightweight, fast and free. It has many JavaScript components that help to create dynamic web applications. Dojo is officially released as open source software. Additionally, Dojo toolkit was originally designed in such a way as to fulfill all the needs of a large-scale client-side web development and to make an application that is cross-platform and JavaScript/Ajax-based.
On September 2004 the first version of Dojo was introduced. It was started by Alex Russell, Dylan Schiemann, David Schontzler, and others. When the time came, the stable release of Dojo Toolkit was announced on the 29th of March 2015.
The following are some features that makes Dojo Toolkit attractive
- Highly evolved date, math, and string libraries
- W3C DOM support in the Dojo
- Regular expressions
- Objects and Classes
- Associative Arrays
- Loosely typed variables
What is Dojo Toolkit good for?
Developers want to use a JavaScript toolkit which can help to save both time and effort and a toolkit that can provide everything they need to build a web application. So why use Dojo toolkit rather than other toolkits that are also available in the market?
Well, what set Dojo apart from the other toolkit is that Dojo is usually used for creating different dynamic web user interfaces because it provides high-level input and output abstraction and utilities. Aside from that, Dojo toolkit helps shorten the time span between the idea and the implementation because this toolkit provides well-conceived APIs and set of tools fixing and assisting issues that a developer may experience every time.
Here are some advantages of Dojo Toolkit,
- Dojo Toolkit is simple and easy to learn.
- The learning curve of Dojo is not that steep, unlike with other frameworks
- Dojo Toolkit provides Dojo API
- It can be used directly to the application thus developers don’t need to invent something in composing their program.
- Dojo provides higher abstraction layer
- Helps developers build powerful functions very easy.
- Dojo is simple and easy to learn
- There are no additional requirements in learning Dojo since it is based on HTML and JavaScript.
Examples and Code Snippets
Let's assume that you have already downloaded or set up Dojo in your development environment.
Moving forward, the first example is creating a checkbox using Dojo. Just check the code below
|
|
In this code, as we can see, for creating checkbox you’re require to use "dijit.form.CheckBox".
<script type="text/javascript">
dojo.require("dojo.parser");
dojo.require("dijit.form.CheckBox");
</script>
For the second example, we will have an example which creates a radio button. Just copy the code below:
|
|
In this area, for creating a radio button you need "dijit.form.RadioButton".
<script type="text/javascript">
dojo.require("dojo.parser");
dojo.require("dijit.form.*");
</script>
For the last example, let's say hello to the world of Dojo. Just copy the code below.
|
|
As what have you have noticed, To create a button in dojo you need to make a Button Widget that contains three visual states as: mouseOut, mouseOver and mouseDown.
<script type="text/javascript">
// Load Dojo's code relating to widget managing functions
dojo.require("dojo.widget.*");
// Load Dojo's code relating to the Button widget
dojo.require("dojo.widget.Button");
</script>
dojo.require("dojo.widget.*"): It instructs you to include the dojo widget (Not load all the widgets) for managing functions.
dojo.require("dojo.widget.Button"): This line instructs you to load the Dojo button widget.
<button dojoType="Button" widgetId="helloButton" onClick="helloPressed();">
Hello World!
</button>In this section, we added a button to display Hello world. Notice the one key attribute of this HTML element which is the dojoType attribute. This attribute is responsible for telling Dojo how to process when the page is loading. Easy right? These are just basic examples of using Dojo toolkit in your application.
Conclusion
We hope that this basic introduction to Dojo Toolkit helps you understand the basic usage and functionality of the Dojo Toolkit. This toolkit is more than a DOM and Ajax library. Dojo toolkit has features that really help accomplish what a developer really wants to do and much more. Just remember that Dojo Toolkit is not a library nor a framework, it is a toolkit that is used for creating dynamic web applications. In the event that you want to learn more about Dojo toolkit, they have very informative documentation which can really help you get started.
