javascript - Animating long sequences in jQuery -


i have make long animation jquery, full of fadeouts,fadeins,slideins,...

the problem having code looks ugly , full of callback.
also, if want stop animation time like: slideout->wait 5 seconds->slidein have use delay , not sure if best practice.

example:

/* slides */ var slide1 = $('div#slide1'),     slide2 = $('div#slide2'),     slide3 = $('div#slide3');  $(document).ready(function(){     slide1.fadein(function(){         slide2.fadein(function(){             slide3.fadein().delay(3000).fadeout(function(){                 slide2.fadeout(function(){                     slide1.fadeout();                 });             });         });     }); });

question: there other way of building animations in jquery, possibly great plugin me solve problem?

thanks!

here's plugin looking :) exact same thing, more flexible existing code http://jsfiddle.net/zpvrd/11/

(function($){     $.fn.fadeinout = function(middledelay) {         middledelay = middledelay || 0;          var index = 0,             direction = 1, // 1: fading in; -1: fading out                     me = this,             size = me.size();         function nextanimation() {             // before first element, we're done             if (index === -1 )  { return; }              var currentel = $(me.get(index)),                 goingforward = direction === 1,                 islastelement = index === (size - 1);              // change direction next animation, don't update index             // since next frame fade same element out             if (islastelement && goingforward) {                 direction = -1;             } else {                 index += direction;             }              // @ last element, before starting fade out, add delay              if ( islastelement && !goingforward) {                 currentel.delay(middledelay);             }             if (goingforward) {                 currentel.fadein(nextanimation);             } else {                 currentel.fadeout(nextanimation);                                 }         }         nextanimation();         return this;     }         })(jquery);

and call like

$('div.slidewrapper>div.slide').fadeinout(3000);

this process of traversing , down list of jquery elements waiting each animation finish abstracted used other things besides fadein , fadeout. i'll leave try out if feel adventurous.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
