Proposal to convert gbrowse_details to an AJAX request handler
A temporary page to describe a low-impact change to existing code to provide a built-in ajax handler for Gbrowse
Examples
- A balloon hover with contents generated using an AJAX call to gbrowse_details and the params callback shown below
- A sticky balloon with contents generated from gbrowse-details (via an <iframe> element) and the default callback shown below.
Changes to gbrowse_details
- A new CGI parameter to invoke the AJAX-handling behavior
my $rmt = param('remote');
- A response is triggered after the feature(s) are defined but before PrintTop is called.
if (defined $rmt) {
print header,start_html;
print remote_content($rmt,$features[0]);
print end_html;
exit 0;
}
- The remote_content subroutine will get the text or coderef. It will return the text or execute the callback with user-defined arguments
# do something for popup balloons
sub remote_content {
my $key = shift; # the key for the text or code-ref in the gbrowse config file
my $feat = shift;
my $contents = $CONFIG->config->code_setting('TOOLTIPS',$key) or die "$key is empty";
my $coderef = (ref $contents||'') eq 'CODE';
return $contents unless $coderef;
# paranoia?
die "Error: $key is not a CODE-REF" if ref $contents && !$coderef;
# args are user-defined
my %args = (feature => $feat) if $feat;
for my $arg (param()) {
my @vals = param($arg);
my $val = @vals > 1 ? \@vals : $vals[0];
$args{$arg} = $val;
}
return $contents->(\%args);
}
Changes To Configuration File
- A new section [TOOLTIPS] that has all the named text sections or callbacks you need to access through gbrowse_details
- The balloon configuration (unchanged). The 375px max-width balloon is used in the examples above
- The [ORF] contig stanza used to generate the images above. The relevant section is highlighted
