editable

Turn DOM-Elements into streams that

  • emit updates through in place editing
  • update their innerText when written to

preview

In place editing starts on click and ends on form submit or reset

usage

var el = document.querySelector('#el');
var ed = editable(el);

ed.on('update', function(value){
  console.log('new value', value);
});

// also works well with async ops,
// in which cause it disables the
// form until the op is done

ed.on('update', function(value, done){
  save(value, function(err){
    done(err);
  });
});

api

var ed = editable(el)

Turn el into a editable element.

ed.on('update', fn)

The event is emitted every time the user submits a new value.

You can pass a second Function argument as a callback when listening, in which case editable waits for the callback to be called.

ed.set(value)

Manually update the value.

ed.edit()

Manually activate edit mode and focus the input.

installation

$ npm install editable

and bundle with browserify
