Not sure where the best place to post about this is. Wanted to talk about your approach with LABjs.

Also, this link is busted: http://labjs.com/LABjs-0.3.js

I've written something similar based on Souder's work: http://github.com/duncanbeevers/transmi ... _loader.js

Usage is similar.


Additional invocations can be peppered throughout your markup, allowing you to mingle script-load-order-dependencies with markup-dependencies.



This additional functionality is intended to promote lighting up UIs as quickly as possible (as soon as all their dependencies are filled) rather than waiting for the document:ready hook.

I like the generic handling of multiple-parameter invocations, that makes the API nice and idiot-proof. In fact, I think the whole API can probably be condensed into a single loadOrObserve entry point, hopefully one with a better name.

Since I haven't been able to actually view the source for labjs yet, I'm curious to see how the .block is implemented.

If this project takes off, I'll have a a forum over on labjs.com for it. This one is obviously an unrelated forum, but since you posted here I'll at least answer your questions.

Not sure where that link came from. If you can tell me, I'll correct it. The link should be:

http://labjs.com/LABjs-0.3.zip (zip, not js).

The JS file itself: http://labjs.com/LAB.js

I'd be very interested to see your code and solutions. Before doing LABjs, I had looked around and hadn't quite found what I was looking for. But if I missed yours, it'd be great for me to be able to at least see it now. Thanks for posting.

The best way to further communicate with me on LABjs is via twitter: @getify
