Intern is a great test stack for writing full-featured unit and functional tests, with remote WebDriver-based testing (e.g. BrowserStack) and continuous integration (e.g.

dgrid is SitePen’s lightweight, modular, and easily extensible modern grid component, designed for use with AMD and Dojo. The Selection and CellSelection mixins enable selection of rows or cells, both from mouse or keyboard actions and programmatically.

Last month, we conducted a live webcast to provide an Introduction to Intern, SitePen’s open source testing framework. Our webcast covered: An overview of Intern’s numerous functional and unit testing features and capabilities Mocking objects and data Injecting dependencies Troubleshooting Future direction of Intern While it’s too late to attend this webcast and heckle us with live questions, we recorded the session and have made it available for you online: We encourage you to use Intern in your current application and then tell us about your experience.

When working in an event-driven environment such as the web, it is important to utilize tools that allow you to create succinct, easy-to-read code that’s extensible and flexible. One great mechanism that Dojo provides is the ability to use extension events.

dojo/on and dojo/aspect are two APIs that appear to do similar jobs but actually serve two different purposes. dojo/on is used to setup event listeners for DOM nodes and event-emitting objects.

The widgets provided in Dojo’s Dijit library include not only advanced widgets not provided by HTML, but also enhanced versions of the basic HTML form elements, like <input>. Dijit’s dijit/form/RadioButton provides the same basic functionality as an HTML radio button, so let’s look at how you set one to be checked by default.

Many Dojo widgets make use of client-side templating for generating the UI. Template HTML files are brought in to the page with dojo/text, parsed and converted to DOM nodes, and placed on the page, allowing our code to make substitutions, instantiate widgets within the template, and hook up events and attach points.

In web browsers that support Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) via XMLHttpRequest objects, Dojo’s XHR mechanism can make cross-domain requests out of the box. Because of the same-origin policy of XMLHttpRequest, Dojo has long supported various methods of loading resources across domains – dojo/io/script and dojo/io/frame; dojo/request/script and dojo/request/iframe in recent versions (1.8+).

Many object-oriented programming (OOP) languages provide a way to define private properties and methods. This allows objects to encapsulate functionality and state information.
