JQTwistyContrib

Lightweight twisty plugin

JQTwistyContrib is a lightweight twisty plugin implementing a subset of the features provided by TwistyPlugin, but using javascript only. This comes in handy when a twisty is needed but without having to render it using the Foswiki backend server.

A "twisty" is a collabsable area to hide/show certain areas of a webpage.

Usage

A twisty consists of two elements: a trigger and a container. When the trigger is clicked by the user, the container will be collapsed or expanded. The behavior of the twisty is configured using html5 data attributes part of the trigger element. Use the jqTwisty css class to install the twisty on a trigger element. The toggle container is then specified using a target argument, defaulting to the next adjacent html node in the tree,

%BUTTON{"Click me" class="jqTwisty"}%
<div>
Here comes the container.
</div>

Parameter

Name Description Default
openText text of the trigger button when the container is hidden html text of the trigger element
closeText text to be displayed when the container is shown same as openText
openImg url of an image displayed when the container is hidden  
closeImg url of an image displayed when the container is shown  
openIcon font awesome icon name when the container is hidden, e.g. fa-caret-down
closeIcon font awesome icon name when the container is shown, e.g. fa-caret-right
initialState initial state of the container: can be 'open' or 'close' close
remember remember the state of the twisty using localStore false
target jquer selector of container(s) to toggle their visibility next html node following the twisty trigger

Events

State change events

JQTwistyContrib will fire an event according to the state changes of the twisty. That way you'll be able to bind additional behaviors on its base, for instance when the twisty is fully open.

Event Description
inited.twisty the twisty has been initialized
beforeOpen.twisty the twisty is about to be opened
afterOpen.twisty the twisty has been opened
beforeClosed.twisty the twisty is about to be closed
afterClose.twisty the twisty has been closed

Access events

You might also fire an event on the twisty itself to change the state from within javascript. See the accordion example below coordinating multiple twisties.

Event DescriptionSorted ascending
close.twisty closes the twist
open.twisty opens the twist

Examples

Add a twisty to a verbatim section

Show Code
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() 
{
    cout << "Hello, World!";
    return 0;
}
