filterJSON: A new jQuery Plugin

Sample Image

I’m pleased to announce the release of a new jQuery plugin that I’ve been working on for the last few days, called “filterJSON.”

What it Does

Imagine that you have a JSON file, and need an easy way to filter through and display its contents on the page. If you’re using a helpful JavaScript library like jQuery, you could use .getJSON() to load and parse the file; however, you’re then left with a huge clump of data to sort through.

Wouldn’t it be easier if there was a way to, in a sense, allow for pagination through these objects? Wouldn’t it be easier if we could set the number of items to display on the page at any given time? That’s exactly what this plugin does.

    Hi Jeffrey,

    Very very useful plugin, just the sort of thing I’ve been looking for.
    When are you releasing the screencast that you talked about on your last pot about this plugin?

    Thanks Jeffrey

    It is possible to put an array instead of a json file?

    I thought about allowing that – but wondered if it would be used enough. It should be a quick fix to allow for that.

    I think with array it can be used on a large scale.
    Can you do that fix or maybe put option ex: data_array : $array
    Thanks

    Hi Jeffrey,

    I noticed that you have a GitHub repo created for the plugin, but you don’t have the code uploaded there yet. I was thinking of making something like this, and like what you’ve got going. I would like to extend the functionality, and figured doing it with something like GitHub or Google Code would be the easiest way to contribute. Could you please commit your changes to GitHub so I could easily fork it and start playing?

    Thanks!
    Brian

    Hi!
    I got problem, and I don’t know who that ask.
    How can you have two different JS files on your website?
    I want to use your plugin with and I already got a Twitter JS file on one of my websites.
    How can I have both of them on the same site?
