v.2.2.0 is in bower but not on NPM (someone else seems to have forked and created the unofficial NPM module and still has "official" in the readme)

https://www.npmjs.com/package/jquery.typewatch

Can you publish this one?

There are two common cases (actually two derivatives of the same case, that just feel different) that would be nice to see handled by this plugin:

1. Full erase. Type some data, Shift+Home, Backspace. This case is when you've typed and then erased everything. The callback doesn't fire, and thus you can't restore state. (I'm using this to trigger a filter on a table of data, and a full erase should restore all data).
2. with captureLength set to 3, type 3 chars, let event fire, then backspace. This case should also be able to let the user restore default state, since 2 characters are considered the same as no characters, but the callback won't fire because the input has only 2 characters.

These are really both the same case: when the data length decreases from over the captureLength setting, to under the captureLength setting.

Hey, maintainer(s) of dennyferra/TypeWatch!

We at VersionEye are working hard to keep up the quality of the bower's registry.

We just finished our initial analysis of the quality of the Bower.io registry:

7530 - registered packages, 224 of them doesnt exists anymore;

We analysed 7306 existing packages and 1070 of them don't have bower.json on the master branch ( that's where a Bower client pulls a data ).

Sadly, your library dennyferra/TypeWatch is one of them.

Can you spare 15 minutes to help us to make Bower better?

Just add a new file bower.json and change attributes.

{
  "name": "dennyferra/TypeWatch",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "path/to/main.css",
  "description": "please add it",
  "license": "Eclipse",
  "ignore": [
    ".jshintrc",
    "**/*.txt"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "<dependency_name>": "<semantic_version>",
    "<dependency_name>": "<Local_folder>",
    "<dependency_name>": "<package>"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "<test-framework-name>": "<version>"
  }
}

Read more about bower.json on the official spefication and nodejs semver library has great examples of proper versioning.

NB! Please validate your bower.json with jsonlint before commiting your updates.

Thank you!

Hi There,

Short story I'm currently implement type watch input text on a boostrap modal. This modal has two trigger button, if I execute any button, typewatch only work on the first button that I was execute. I dont know exaclty whats going on. So, I decided want to try destroying typeWatch first and then revoke while modal shown.

Anyone can tell me how to destroy typewatch?

thanks

Hi @dennyferra , We are cdnjs team, we want to host this library on cdnjs. The comment in jquery.typewatch.js show that under dual licenses. Could you please help me check which version of GPL license you use? or point out from license-list.json. Thanks.

Hi, I am creating dynamic text inputs with ajax, then I am trying to call typewatch on their ID, but nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong? $("#new_element").typeWatch( options );

It works fine on static inputs

Thank you for help

I have a text field which when clicked on shows previously typed in text (default browser behaviour). The problem is if you click in the text field and then click one of the words, the callback function never gets triggered.

If you are on the previous field and press tab, down, down, tab (select the first item in the list and tab to the next field) then everything works fine so it's just an issue with mouse support.

If you type twice the same input, typeWatch does not fire. Example here: https://www.jqueryscript.net/demo/jQuery-Plugin-To-Run-A-Function-When-User-Stops-Typing-TypeWatch/ Type in "Email address" the value 'xy': typeWatch fires. After that, select value and type again 'xy': typeWatch does not fire.

We use this plugin on a 'quick search' function on a website with a minimum length set. The function being called is doing an AJAX query on a PHP file to get data out from the database. When a user enters something in to this quick search and realize they typed something wrong after it has searched, they clear out what they have entered. Before they start typing again, after 750ms, the function is being called due to the capture length being 0 and the value is now different. This is now calling AJAX on a PHP file which is ultimately searching the whole database due to using 'LIKE' queries.

I'm not sure on what the purpose of line 46 in the JS file is for, but we had to comment it out for our use.

Hello

I'm trying to inject jQUery as a dependency in the typewatch plugin but it does not works...

var $ = require("jquery");
require('jquery.typewatch', {'jQuery': $});

I'm forced to works with the window object, what is not cool if I want to use multiple jQuery version.

window.$ = require("jquery");
require('jquery.typewatch');

Any advice?

Issue seems to be in jquery.typewatch.js:50 or jquery.typewatch.js:88

In JSF, when AJAX is called, the jquery-plugins need to be restarted everytime (using jsf.ajax.addOnEvent) and it cause problem in typewatch plugin, because events (keydown, paste,cut and input) are called multiple times. So, if this event hit a database, the database is called multiple times causing a lot of problems (poor performance application).

To solve it, i added a name for each event (keydown.typewatch, paste.typewatch ...), and you can unbind just this event to restart typewatch, like this code:

$(document).ready(function () {
jsf.ajax.addOnEvent(restartTypewatch);
});

function restartTypewatch(){
//unbind all events to avoid multiple calls
$('#my-input-text').unbind('keydown.typewatch paste.typewatch cut.typewatch input.typewatch');

//start typeWatch again
$('#my-input-text').typeWatch(options);
}

You can't unbind all "keydown" events because it will cause problems in another jquery-plugins, like this:

//unbind all keydown in this component can cause problem in others plugins, better unbind just typewatch
$('#my-input-text').unbind('keydown');

It would be nice if this plugin were to extend the existing jQuery events, so that the following can be done:

$('#someInput').on('donetyping', handler);

Check https://learn.jquery.com/events/event-extensions for a walkthrough or https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mousewheel/blob/master/jquery.mousewheel.js for an example implementation.
