I have php based application currently written using CI. I want to integrate Cappuccino JS framework at my UI layer. Does anyone know how can one go about doing that?

Cappuccino is a JS framework that brings UI developerment style much like the one you'd have with Apple's Cocoa to the web. So instead of creating HTML pages and then using a templating system to inject variables, the UI is generated purely by Obj-J and Cappuccino (which is pretty cool). Since the UI is coded completely in Obj-J it would be best if calls to the backend were done via ajax (with JSON transport). This can be done the normal way AJAX/JSON is done in javascript since Obj-J is a superset of Javascript. You can find some tutorials about Cappuccino here.

Mind you Cappuccino isn't for the light hearted. Unless you know WHY you're using it, you probably shouldn't be.

  • To use this in CodeIgniter you would use it in much they way you would use jQuery in CI? – Kieran Andrews Jun 09 '10 at 21:27
  • @Kieran Yes, but even more so. Because in Cappuccino you want to completely avoid page reloads, and only do soft page loads. So everything must be JSON/XML interfaced instead of HTML. – Kendall Hopkins Jun 10 '10 at 00:05

You can find a short example of using JSON and cappuccino here:
