Using Jquery with Ruby Web Frameworks

on YouTube ↗56m

" summary

Writes an edit‑in‑place jQuery plugin test‑first using ScrewUnit and a Merb test plugin, implements behaviors until specs pass: click swaps a P for an input, Escape cancels and restores the P, Enter issues an Ajax POST and replaces the P with server JSON (tested with a mocked XHR). Uses livequery for delegated handlers and metadata plugin to store the update URL. Live demo intermittently breaks due to caching and iframe test harness quirks but core functionality is implemented and spec‑checked.
