Why is my queue working without dequeue? - javascript

I have read jquery docs many times but fail to understand the dequeue method. Consider the following example:
var div = $(".div");
div.animate({
height: "200px"
}, 3000).queue(function(){
console.log("3 seconds passed and I show off without dequeue");
});
div {
width: 300px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="div"></div>
When you run this script you'd see that the function inside queue fires after 3 seconds but I have not dequeued it. jQuery says dequeue takes the function out of queue and then executes it. But if the function can execute without dequeue then what's the use dequeue?

.dequeue() is called to keep the queue being executed, if you have two animations, the second won't be called if you don't use it. Check the next example, based on your code: the first div has .dequeue commented so only one animation is executed.
var divClass = $(".div");
divClass.animate({
height: "50px"
}, 500).queue(function(){
//$(this).dequeue();
}).animate({height: "100px"},500);
var div = $("div");
div.animate({
height: "50px"
}, 500).queue(function(){
$(this).dequeue();
}).animate({height: "100px"},500);
div {
width: 300px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="div">First DIV</div>
<span>HELLO</span>
<div>Second DIV</div>

Nesting jQuery functions within functions

Below is the code I am working on
$("#firstnamesubmitbutton").click(function(){
$(".hrmed").addClass("lineanimation", function(){
$(".firstnamesection").addClass("animate fadeOut");
$(".firstnamesection").addClass("hidden");
$(".hrmed").removeClass("lineanimation");
$(".lastnamesection").removeClass("hidden");
alert("Code was executed");
});
});
I am trying to created a nested jQuery function so that the rest of the code is called after the "lineanimation" class has been added but when I run this code the "lineanimation" class is added and the rest of the commands are not executed. Can anyone help me understand the correct syntax to solve my problem?
Thanks in advance
As I'd mentioned above, .addClass() is instant. As such, it does not take a callback method. Additionally, it has no way of inherently knowing the duration of your CSS transition.
Instead, you could use setTimeout(). It will execute a given function after waiting X milliseconds.
The first argument would be the function you've written in your question. The second parameter corresponds to the length of your CSS animation.
(For example, a 3s animation would be 3000.)
$("#firstnamesubmitbutton").click(function() {
var $hrmed = $(".hrmed");
$hrmed.addClass("lineanimation");
setTimeout(function() {
$(".firstnamesection").addClass("animate fadeOut hidden");
$hrmed.removeClass("lineanimation");
$(".lastnamesection").removeClass("hidden");
console.log("Code was executed");
}, 3000);
});
.hrmed {
padding: 50px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.hrmed.lineanimation {
background: blue;
transition: background 3s;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="firstnamesubmitbutton">Click me</button>
<div class="hrmed"></div>
Editted
$("#firstnamesubmitbutton").click(function(){
$('.hrmed').delay(1000).queue(function () {
$(this).addClass('lineanimation').dequeue();
}).delay(2000).queue(function () {
$(".firstnamesection").addClass("animate fadeOut");
$(".firstnamesection").addClass("hidden");
$(".lastnamesection").removeClass("hidden");
$(this).removeClass('lineanimation');
alert("Code was executed");
});
});
.hidden {
display: none;
}
.lineanimation {
color: red;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="firstnamesubmitbutton">Click</button>
<div class="hrmed">
<div class="firstnamesection">firstname</div>
<div class="lastnamesection">lastname</div>
</div>

JQuery SlideToggle() execute function every step of the easing

Is there any way to execute an already defined function on javascript everytime a modification occurs in the animation of the easing of the slideToggle() function?
Example:
SlideToggle("1000", "linear", functiontoexecute())
I would like functiontoexecute() to execute every step it occurs on the "linear" easing.
I have already looked on JQuery webpage for .slideToggle() and tried to use "progress" or "step" options... but either they don't perform as expected or I didn't use them properly...
For more details I am using JQuery 1.9.1
The jQuery documentation on how to use those parameters isn't the best, as none of the examples use it to its full capabilities. Here's an example using the progress function, but hopefully you can adapt this to whatever your needs are: -
$("#book")
.slideToggle({
duration: 400,
progress: functionToExecute,
complete: function () {
console.log('animation completed');
}
});
function functionToExecute(animation, progress, remainingMs) {
$('p').text('here and progress count is ' + progress);
}
.wrap {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
background-color: #2d8cd0;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="wrap" id="book">
<h2>1</h2>
</div>
<p>Progress: <span id="progress">0</span></p>

JQuery effect is stuttering when loading a YouTube iframe

I am very new to JS/JQuery/JQueryUI but have made a few things work on a new site I'm working on.
I've set up a basic navbar where a .click makes different divs slide into view with .show while the other three pop out of existence with .hide. I was extremely proud of myself even though this is super basic.
My issue is that one of these divs contains a YouTube iframe. To get it to stop playing when another div is shown, I just remove the src with .attr (clunky, I know). This means that since the source is re-appended to the iframe each time, going back to that div is slower than I want it to be, and jQuery stutters.
I've put a stripped down version into a JSFiddle. Any suggestions on improving the performance would be greatly appreciated!
PS: The video I have as a placeholder is hilarious and you should enjoy it! :)
HTML:
<div class="button" id="home">1</div>
<div class="button" id="about">2</div>
<div class="button" id="latest">3</div>
<div class="button" id="contact">4</div>
<div class="home"><iframe class="video" id="homeVid"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gspaoaecNAg?controls=0?showinfo=0?rel=0?enablejsapi=1"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<div class="content about"></div>
<div class="content latest"></div>
<div class="content contact"></div>
CSS
.content {
width: 600px;
height: 480px;
display: none;
clear:both
}
.home, .video {
width: 600px;
height: 480px;
display: flex;
clear:both;
background-color: #CCC
}
.about {background-color: #F00}
.latest {background-color: #0F0}
.contact {background-color: #00F}
.button {
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
border: 1px solid black
}
JavaScript
$(document).ready(function() {
var urlhome = $('#homeVid').attr('src');
$('#home').click(function() {
$('.home').show('slide', {direction: 'right', easing: 'swing'}, 400);
$('.about, .contact, .latest').hide(0);
$('#homeVid').attr('src', urlhome);
});
$('#about').click(function() {
$('.about').show('slide', {direction: 'right', easing: 'swing'}, 400);
$('.home, .contact, .latest').hide(0);
$('#homeVid').attr('src', ' ');
});
$('#latest').click(function() {
$('.latest').show('slide', {direction: 'right', easing: 'swing'}, 400);
$('.home, .contact, .about').hide(0);
$('#homeVid').attr('src', ' ');
});
$('#contact').click(function() {
$('.contact').show('slide', {direction: 'right', easing: 'swing'}, 400);
$('.home, .about, .latest').hide(0);
$('#homeVid').attr('src', ' ');
});
});
Indeed, adding and removing the iframe is costly in terms of performance. Instead we must stop the playback and hide it.
This necessitates to insert it differently into the document, using the YouTube Player API Reference for iframe Embeds. Then we do this:
HTML
<div class="content home">
<div id="player"></div>
</div>
var player;
JavaScript
$(window).load(function(){
player = new YT.Player('player', {
height: '480',
width: '600',
videoId: 'gspaoaecNAg',
});
});
We can simply use player.stopVideo(); whenever we hide the home element. But if only it was so simple.
Using jQuery's hide() has side effects, because the way it hides elements is by setting their CSS to display:none which effectively removes them from the document. This destroys the iframe and recreates it on show(), which presents the same performance issue as before.
We need something more subtle, hiding the elements by putting them aside. For this we use positionning:
.hidden {
position:fixed;
left:200%;
}
This puts them further on the right of the document, outside the viewport and since the units are relative, it can never be vsible no matter how much we stretch the window. This necessitates a few changes in HTML, plus some others for an optimization I will detail further below.
HTML:
<div class="button" id="home">1</div>
<div class="button" id="about">2</div>
<div class="button" id="latest">3</div>
<div class="button" id="contact">4</div>
<div class="content home">
<div id="player"></div>
</div>
<div class="content about hidden"></div>
<div class="content latest hidden"></div>
<div class="content contact hidden"></div>
We have added the class hidden to all elements not visible at the start. We also added a class describing the elements themselves and set to the id of their corresponding button. And we have the content class in each element.
JavaScript:
var player;
$(window).load(function(){
player = new YT.Player('player', {
height: '480',
width: '600',
videoId: 'gspaoaecNAg',
});
});
$(document).ready(function() {
var all = $('.content');
$('.button').click(function() {
all.addClass('hidden');
player.stopVideo();
$('.'+this.id).animate({
'left': '0px',
easing: 'swing'
}, 400, function(){
$(this).removeClass('hidden')
.removeAttr('style');
});
});
});
This has been optimized to avoid checking each element individually. The first part has been explained before, here is how the rest goes:
var all = $('.content');
This selects all the .content elements and keeps them referenced outside the callback in the variable all, so we only have to do this once when the document loads.
We create the callback on all button elements. The next step assumes a click event has been received.
We set all .content elements to hidden. Effectively this should only affect the one currently not hidden.
We stop the video. This will only affect the embedded iframe and we don't bother checking which .content element is active because stopping an already stopped video does nothing special.
Using the id of the button that triggered the click event, we select the corresponding .content element.
We replace show() with animate() and use it to modify the CSS property that is used in the class hidden. This will slide the element from its hidden position to it's normal position.
The animation has a callback executed when it's done. We use it to first remove the hidden class from our now visible element, then to remove the style attribute in which our animation has set left:0px;, as leaving this there would interfere later.
And we're done. This should now be smooth. A demo is available on this JSFiddle.

Using toggleClass in jQuery to shrink a div

I have a div and I'm trying to shrink it when I click a button. And when I click it again, I want it back to the original size. I'm using toggleClass for this, but I did something wrong with my code, and I'm not sure where. Please take a look. Thanks.
//*********************************************************************
<style>
div {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
}
.shrink {
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
}
</style>
//*********************************************************************
<button type = "button"> click me </button>
<div> Can you tell me a secret? </div>
//*********************************************************************
<script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type = "text/javascript">
$(document).ready($function {
$("button").click(function(){
$("div").toggleClass("shrink");
});
});
</script>

It's kind of a typo. You wrote "$function {" but you probably mean this:
$(document).ready(function() {
The rest is fine.
Also, document ready can be expressed in a shorter form:
$(function() {
...
...
});
Maybe you just confused those two. I did a few times too, back in my beginner days :)
Here: the jQuery ready method takes an anonymous function as an argument... so te problem with your code was only to pass that function function(){}
Here you can see the code in action: http://jsfiddle.net/leojavier/41wmck17/
$(document).ready(function() {
$("button").click(function(){
$("div").toggleClass("shrink");
});
});

Add Callback to Dequeue

Does anyone know how to add a callback after a dequeue in jQuery has been completed? If not, can you provide me with how to add a delay to a dequeue? Thanks a million!
Might need more info, but if you are trying to have some code called after a particular queued item is dequeued, you could wrap the original queued function with your own. For example, you could change from:
$("#xyz").queue(someFunction);
to this:
$("#xyz").queue(function() {
someFunction();
// your callback code here
});
I'm assuming that "someFunction" calls dequeue in order to keep the sequence going.
You can use a promise (http://api.jquery.com/promise/). Here is some code I (literally) just wrote which ensures that some divs are finished hiding before a show etc on them is started. The function passed into the done call on the promise will only get run after all the effects are finished. I put the next() (=>dequeue) call in there so the next queued item gets run.
<style>
#pieces { width: 300px; height: 100px; background-color: lightblue;}
#pieces .piece { width: 75px; height: 75px; border: 1px solid grey; float: left;}
</style>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script>
var q = $({});;
function hidePieces() {
q.queue(function(next){
var pieces = $($("#pieces .piece").get().reverse());
pieces.each( function(i) {
$(this).delay(300*i).slideUp(1000);
});
pieces.promise().done(function(){ next(); });
} );
}
function showPieces() {
q.queue(function(next){
var pieces = $("#pieces .piece");
pieces.each( function(i) {
$(this).delay(300*i).slideDown(1000);
});
pieces.promise().done(function(){ next(); });
} );
}
$(function(){
for( i=0;i<5;i++ ){
hidePieces();showPieces();
}
});
</script>
<div id="pieces">
<div class="piece" id="p1"></div>
<div class="piece" id="p2"></div>
<div class="piece" id="p3"></div>
</div>
