Widgster
======================

Small jQuery plugin that provides an easy way to handle basic widget functions like collapsing, closing, ajax-refreshing & fullsreening.

**[Demo](http://widgster.flatlogic.com/demo/index.html)**

**[Advanced Demo](http://demo.flatlogic.com/4.0.1/dark/grid_live.html)**

Use
------------

To apply all these features to your default widget you have to add appropriate links (or buttons) to it:



Header





Body

In the example above links are put into a `.widget-controls` but you can put them anywhere inside of widget.

Then widgster needs to be initialized via javascript:

$('.widget').widgster();

As you could guess `data-widgster` attribute defines widget action to be performed when link is clicked.

Actions
------------

* **close** - closes the widget;
* **collapse** - collapses (minimizes) the widget. An element holding this data attribute will be hidden when widget gets expanded;
* **expand** - expands the widget. An element holding this data attribute will be hidden when widget gets collapsed;
* **fullscreen** - fullscreens the widget. An element holding this data attribute will be hidden when widget gets restored;
* **restore** - restores the widget back to its position. An element holding this data attribute will be hidden when widget gets fullscreened;
* **load** - reloads widget content from the url provided with `data-widget-load` attribute.

All actions may be called via js:

$('.widget').widgster('close');

Options
------------

* **collapsed** - if true collapses widget after page load;
* **fullscreened** - if true fullscreens widget after page load;
* **bodySelector** - widget body selector. Used for loading and collapsing. Default is `.body`;
* **load** - an url to fetch widget body from. Default is `undefined`;
* **showLoader** - whether to show a loader when ajax refresh performed. Default is `true`;
* **autoload** - whether to automatically perform ajax refresh after page load. May be set to an integer value. If set, for example, to 2000 will refresh the widget every 2 seconds. Default is `false`;
* **closePrompt(callback)** - a function to be called when closing. Closing is only performed when `callback` is called.

Widgster accepts an object with options:

$('.widget').widgster({
collapsed: true
});

Events
------------

Each action fires both before and after event. Events have the same names as actions. Before event may be canceled.

For example, to make refresh button spin:

$('.widget').on("load.widgster", function(){
$(this).find('[data-widgster="load"] > i').addClass('fa-spin')
}).on("loaded.widgster", function(){
$(this).find('[data-widgster="load"] > i').removeClass('fa-spin')
});
