Getting Jaffa

We start by loading our Jaffa Library... in any form. This page is using a full non-minified version for development, but you can load any version you like. Some options:

• TODO: Minified Build
• TODO: Release Build
• TODO: Development Build

You can see here I've also loaded up my own script where I put all the instantiation and configuration for how I use Jaffa. You may prefer to do this in some other way... it doesn't really matter. Examples of configuration and customization on this demo page and the instantiation code below are generally located inside that script.

<script type="text/javascript" src="jaffa.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="myJaffa.js"></script>

Starting Jaffa

At its simplest, starting Jaffa involves requesting an instance from the jaffaFactory() method and providing it with a configuration object... empty in this case.

var jaffa = jaffaFactory({});

Of course, in most circumstances you are going to want to provide some configuration to Jaffa, so let's look at a basic example of that as well. In this example we are going to enable debug logging, as well as specifying a callback function of our own that we would like Jaffa to execute after it has performed all instantiation activity:

function jaffaLoaded(jaffa) {
    alert("Woot! Jaffa is loaded!");
}

var jaffa = jaffaFactory({
        debuggingEnabled: true,
        callbackStartupComplete: jaffaLoadedFunction
    });
