Ajax Checkboxes – Ajaxify your checkboxes with jquery_ujs
In today’s digital landscape, it pays to have a faster, seamless user experience when navigating through your website. And one way of achieving this is by adding Ajax checkboxes to the mix. They enable you to interact with web pages in real time and provide a faster, more fluid way of ticking tasks off or selecting items from a list. By leveraging the power of jQuery_ujs , you can quickly and easily add Ajax capability to your checkboxes – and in turn enhance user-experience significantly.
What are Ajax Checkboxes and how do they work?
Ajax checkboxes are simple interactive elements that enable users to select multiple options at once without having to move away from their current window or refresh the page. They streamline all requests sent by a user on the page into one larger request – thus eliminating any lag between activities. The use of HTML checkboxes allows data-driven applications to retain all selections even after submitting them; closing out the current form does not reset the state of checked options for an end-user. This is where Ajax checkboxes come in as they make it possible for users to view as well as alter selections from a single interface without needing to refresh or reload the page; changes are obtained in real-time thanks to JavaScript’s asynchronous execution capabilities.
How Can jQuery_ujs Help with Implementing Ajax Checkboxes?
jQuery_ujs (Unobtrusive JavaScript) is a popular open source library used for implementing Asynchronous Javascript + XML (or AJAX). It works in conjunction with jQuery, so if you’re already using the latter for some parts of your website then adding jquery_ujs integration should be relatively easy. What makes it particularly useful though is its compatibility with Rails controllers via Rails UJS (Unobtrusive JavaScript). In other words, any time an action can be performed on an HTML element such as input[type=”checkbox”], jquery_ujs will detect it and send information back and forth between users’ browsers and servers sans having anyone wait for reloading/refreshing of pages – providing for an overall smoother user experience with fewer steps involved in completing tasks at hand!
Is There Anything Else That needs To Be Considered Before Implementing jQuery UJS With Ajax Checkboxes?
It’s important to ensure proper server-side support before implementing any changes via jquery_ujs – otherwise you could limit yourself callbacks that don’t function properly or lead nowhere at all. Your Ruby on Rails application will be able handle POST requests made by client side UJS correctly when put together correctly but depending upon what legal requirements your business needs perhaps also incorporate authentication process (e.g.: OAuth) so that only valid users accessing protected resources within client side while maintaining secure connections throughout transactions might become necessary too…for instance if payments need processing securely online etcetera
Also worth mentioning here would be ‘nonces’ aka ‘one use tokens used against cross site request forgery attacks which generate random strings matched up for added-security along above involved parties during certain interactions between clients over servers so make sure those topics addressed about into considerations beforehand too!
All said done however chances redoing large parts TLC website code suddenly dropped drastically saving precious development time just one main reasons why incorporating jquery ujs aid part building websites should never overlooked this day age… 🙂
