<p><strong>app-UI</strong> is a FREE collection of reusable "application container" user interface components that may be helpful to web and mobile developers for creating interactive applications using HTML and JavaScript, especially those targeting mobile devices. app-UI is a continual work in progress - it was born out of the necessity to have rich & native-feeling interfaces in HTML/JS experiences, and it works great with PhoneGap applications (<a href="http://www.phonegap.com" target="_blank">http://www.phonegap.com</a>). app-UI can easily be styled/customized using CSS.</p>

<p>All of app-UI was created using HTML, CSS, & JavaScript. All animations are rendered using CSS3 translate3d, so that they are hardware accelerated (where supported). app-UI works well on iOS, Android and BlackBerry browsers (others not tested), and works well on the latest releases of most desktop browsers.</p>

<h3>Why?</h3>
<p>You might be wondering "why create this?" when there are other open source alternatives like <a href="http://jquerymobile.com/" target="_blank">jQuery Mobile</a>. The primary motivation for creating app-UI was to have reusable application containers that are highly performant, and do not force any prescriptive development paradigms. With respect to animations/transitions, app-UI outperforms the alternatives, particularly on mobile devices.</p>
2012-04-24 11:09:46 -04:00
<p>app-UI can be used with many different existing frameworks - app-UI only requires <a href="http://jquery.com/" target="_blank">jQuery</a> as a solution accelerator framework. It will work with existing UI widget frameworks (<a href="http://jqueryui.com/" target="_blank">jQuery UI</a>, <a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/" target="_blank">Twitter Bootstrap</a>, etc...), and will work with existing templating frameworks (<a href="https://github.com/janl/mustache.js" target="_blank">Moustache</a>, <a href="http://knockoutjs.com/" target="_blank">Knockout</a>, <a href="http://handlebarsjs.com/" target="_blank">Handlebars</a>, etc...). </p>

<h3>Application Containers</h3>
2012-04-20 13:32:49 -04:00
2012-04-22 21:23:09 -04:00
<p>app-UI currently has three application containers, and at this time it is not intended to be a complete UI widget framework.</p>

<p><em>Please see the "samples" directory for usage scenarios - there is no documentation yet.</em></p>

<h5>ViewNavigator</h5>
<p>The ViewNavigator component allows you to create mobile experiences with an easily recognizable mobile UI paradigm. You use this to push & pop views from the stack.</p>
<p>Samples:
<ul>
<li><a href="examples/samples/01 - viewnavigator/01 - basic/index.html" target="_blank">Simple ViewNavigator</a></li>
<li><a href="examples/samples/04 - browser history/index.html" target="_blank">Simple ViewNavigator w/ Browser History Integration</a></li>
</ul></p>

2012-04-20 14:51:00 -04:00
<h5>SplitViewNavigator</h5>
<p>The SplitViewNavigator component allows you to create tablet experiences with an easily recognizable mobile UI paradigm. The SplitViewNavigator allows you to have side-by-side content in the landscape orientation, and the sidebar is hidden in portrait orientation.</p>
<p>Samples:
<ul>
<li><a href="examples/samples/02 - splitviewnavigator/01 - basic/index.html" target="_blank">Simple SplitViewNavigator</a></li></a></li>
</ul></p>
2012-04-20 13:32:49 -04:00
2012-04-20 14:51:00 -04:00
<h5>SlidingView</h5>
<p>The SlidingView allows content to slide to the side using a horizontal swipe gesture, revealing a navigation container "underneath". This is very similar to the behavior in Facebook's iPad application.
<p>Samples:</p>
<p>Just swipe horizontally with a finger or the mouse...
<ul>
<li><a href="examples/samples/03 - slidingView/01 - basic/index.html" target="_blank">Basic SlidingView</a></li></a></li>
<li><a href="examples/samples/03 - slidingView/02 - view navigators/index.html" target="_blank">Layered ViewNavigators in SlidingView</a></li></a></li>
</ul></p>
