AP template: Single Page Application

Simple SPA based on an .htaccess file, jQuery ajax requests, the javascript history api and handlebars.js templates.

How it works:

  • .htaccess transfers /whatever/blah to index.php as ?uid=/whatever/blah
  • index.php passes the uid to javascript initializing the App object
  • js function loadPage:
    • maps the uid to an ajax call according to apiBindings.json
    • maps response to context data for handlebar template based on response type in apiBindings.json
    • renders the markup using the template (also in apiBindings.json) and loads it in #content
    • pushes a new state using the history api
