Barba.js

[LostKobrakai]

I just wanted to share this library here: http://barbajs.org/

It's a pjax implementations specifically for handling page transitions without full page-reload as simple as possible. It's super lightweight and can literally be installed by pulling the library in, adding two classes to your pages and a single line to initialize the whole thing. I've just added this to my personal site (https://kobrakai.de/) and beyond some js refactorings – mostly so that animations are not only triggered on page loads – it was a very smooth experience to add. Also I've probably only scratched the surface on this simple site. The docs look like this could handle even more complex setups if needed.

Thank you Benjamin. It seems I often pick up very useful information from your posts. I wanted to say thank you also for this link you posted recently.  http://adamwathan.me/refactoring-to-collections/ It's prompted me to put some time aside to do some self-study on functional programming done with PHP

Here's just a few additional links I found should anyone else be interested - There seems to be a good amount of information out there on the subject.

Just gave barba.js a try and it's great, thanks for mentioning. I had to remove a similar but more clunkier solution of mine, but this is much better. There are some js events I have to modify in order to make them work but it's a no-biggie.
