How to use it:

1. Insert the main JavaScript file akFillFromJSON.min.js after jQuery library and we're ready to go.

<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/akFillFromJSON.min.js"></script>

2. Build the HTML template for your page.

<div id="myPage">
  <div class="firstNameDiv">First Name: <span class="firstNameVal"></span></div>
  <div class="lastNameDiv">Last Name: <span class="lastNameVal"></span></div>
</div>

<div class="arrayDemoDiv">
  <ul class="arrayDemo-holder">
    <li class="arrayDemo-item">
      <strong class="demoTitleVal"></strong>
      <span class="demoDescriptionDiv"> - 
        <span class="demoDescriptionVal"></span>
      </span>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

3. Populate the keyVal elements with the data you define in the JavaScript/JSON.

$("#myPage").akFillFromJSON({
  firstName: "jQuery",
  lastName: "Script"
});

$("body").akFillFromJSON({
  "arrayDemo": [{
    "demoTitle": "Title 1",
    "demoDescription": "Description 1"
  },{
    "demoTitle": "Title 2",
    "demoDescription": "Description 2"
  },{
    "demoTitle": "Title 3",
    "demoDescription": "Description 3"
  }]
});

4. Convert & format data using the following CSS classes:

  • .camelCase: convert a string a camel case variable
  • .pascalCase: convert a string a pascal case variable
  • .alphaNumify: convert a string to alphanumeric characters only
  • .slugify: convert a string to a slug
  • .toHTML: convert a string to html (replaces line breaks with <br>)
  • .toText: converts HTML to text only
<span class="commentVal toHTML"></span>
$("#myPage").akFillFromJSON({
  comment: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.\nNullam ultrices hendrerit facilisis. Cras a pharetra nulla. Donec iaculis facilisis est at sollicitudin. In ut ex ipsum. Etiam pulvinar sem ut sapien venenatis dapibus."
});

5. Additional Shortcuts for complex data:

  • .keyVal-link: Define a link path using the data-path attribute
  • .keyVal-social: Define a URL using the data-base attribute
  • .keyVal-class: Assign a value to class attribute
  • .keyVal-email: Assign mailto to href attribute
  • .keyVal-tel: Assign tel:[value] to href attribute
  • .keyVal-width: Assign a width attribute as a percentage.
  • .keyVal-inpV: Assign a value to value attribute
  • .keyVal-inpN: Assign a value to name attribute
  • .keyVal-attr: adds data-[key]="[value]" attribute
<div class="websiteDiv">
  Website: 
  <a href="#" class="websiteVal-link" data-path="https://www.jqueryscript.net/">
    <span class="websiteVal"></span>
  </a>
</div>
