Introduction
Intercooler is a small (6.74KB gzipped) jQuery or zepto.js based library that allows you to add AJAX to
your application using HTML attributes.
Here is an example:
<!-- When this button is clicked an AJAX POST request is sent to /example and the
response content is swapped in to the body of the button -->
<button ic-post-to="/example">
Click Me!
</button>
Despite this simplicity, intercooler supports quite a bit of functionality:
- It allows you to specify the UI event that triggers the AJAX request
- It makes progress indicators very simple to add
- It supports many custom HTTP response headers for things like client-side redirection
- It has a REST-ful dependency mechanism
- It has simple AJAX history & back-button support
- It provides a rich event model
- And much more...
These features allow you to build modern web applications with little fuss, using a simple and intuitive REST-ful architecture that ensures good performance, excellent user experience and a minimum of complexity.
It also is very easy to incrementally retrofit intercooler into existing web applications to add AJAX functionality where
it is most valuable.
Full documentation is available on the main intercooler website
