Koi namespace / extend

templMethods.js

/**
 * Checkout bobbitt's base koi examples here:

// use koi namespace to define a new object level ( this is basically if !tmplMethods, tmplMethods = {} )
Koi.namespace('tmplMethods');

// if there are methods used across a section of the application, you could nest deeper ( common ajax calls or something )
Koi.namespace('Publications',  tmplMethods );
Koi.namespace('Contests',      tmplMethods.Publications );

// Shoutlet.base could be any koi class. We could even do Shoutlet.tmpls or something to keep the global namespace even cleaner
// ie. Shoutlet.tmpls.Publications.Contests

tmplMethods.Publications.Contests = Koi.extend(Shoutlet.base, {

    $guide:      null,
    selector:    null,
 
    init: function( selector ) {
        this.$guide = $('.guide-catagory');
        this.selector = selector;
    },

    showCategory:function(){
        this.$guide.hide();
        $('#'+this.selector+'GuidesSelection .toggle-content').not(":visible"));
        $('#'+this.selector+'GuidesSelection .toggle-content').show();
    }
}


// use the code
contest = new tmplMethods.Publications.Contests("setUp");
contest.showCategory();
