# Flying Widgets v0.1.2
#
# To use, put this file in assets/javascripts/cycleDashboard.coffee. Then find this line in
# application.coffee:
#
# $('.gridster ul:first').gridster
#
# And change it to:
#
# $('.gridster > ul').gridster
#
# Finally, put multiple gridster divs in your dashboard, and add a call to Dashing.cycleDashboards()
# to the javascript at the top of your dashboard:
#
# <script type='text/javascript'>
# $(function() {
# Dashing.widget_base_dimensions = [370, 340]
# Dashing.numColumns = 5
# Dashing.cycleDashboards({timeInSeconds: 15, stagger: true});
# });
# </script>
#
# <% content_for :title do %>Loop Dashboard<% end %>
#
# <div class="gridster">
# <ul>
# <!-- Page 1 of widgets goes here. -->
# <li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
# <div data-view="Image" data-image="/inverted-logo.png" style="background-color:#666766"></div>
# </li>

#### Show/Hide functions.
#
# Every member of `showFunctions` and `hideFunctions` must be one of:
#
# * A `{start, end, transition}` object (transition defaults to 'all 1s'.)
# * A `{transitionFunction}` object.
# * A `fn($dashboard, widget, originalLocations)` which returns one of the above.
#
# The easiest way to define a transition is just to specify start and end CSS proprties for each
# widget with a `{start, end}` object. The `fadeOut` and `fadeIn` are some of the simplest
# examples below. Sometimes you might need slightly more control, in which case `start` and
# `end` can each be functions of the form `($widget, index)`, where $widget is the jquery object
# for the widget being transformed, and index is the index of the widget within the dashboard.
# The function form is handy when you want to do something different for each widget, depending
# on it's location.
#
# For even more control, you can specify a `fn($dashboard, widgets, originalLocations)` function
# in place of the entire object. This is handy when you have some setup work to do for your
# transition, such as detecting the width of the page so you can move all widgets off-screen.
#
# For the ultimate in control, you can specify a
# `transitionFunction{$dashboard, options, done}` object. It will be up to you to
# do whatever you need to do in order to hide or display the dashboard. The CSS of every widget
# will be reset to something sane when the function completes, but otherwise it's entirely
# up to you. Params are:
#
# * `$dashboard` - jquery object of the dashboard to show/hide.
# * `options.stagger` - True if transition should be staggered.
# * `options.widgets` - An array of all widgets in the dashboard.
# * `options.originalLocations` - An array of CSS data about the location, opacity, etc... of
# each widget.
# * `done()` - Async callback. Make sure you call this!

# wait this long before calling `done()`.
# * `offset` is an offset for the index passed into `start()` and `end()`. Handy when

# not automatically cycle, but can be cycled manually by calling `cycleDashboardsNow()`.
# * `stagger` - If this is true, each widget will be transitioned individually at slightly
# randomized times. This gives a more random look. If false, then all wigets will be moved
# at the same time. Note if `timeInSeconds` is 0, then this option is ignored (but can, instead,
# be passed to `cycleDashboardsNow()`.)
# * `fastTransition` - If true, then we will run the show and hide transitions simultaneously.
# This gets your new dashboard up onto the screen faster.
# * `onTransition($newDashboard)` - A function to call before a dashboard is displayed.

This is slightly extended version of FlyingWidgets for Dashing.

I added support of following keyboard keys. The complete list of supported key strokes:

    Left Arrow (code 37) - to go one dashboard back
    Right Arrow (code 39) - to go one dashboard forward
    Spacebar (code 32) - to go one dashboard forward
    Home (code 36) - to go to the first dashboard
    End (code 35) - to go to the last dashboard

Additionally, new key strokes were not working on $(document).keypress. I changed to use $(document).keyup
