AjaxSnippet

Small snippet that speeds up the site by loading less critical content via ajax.

• Call AjaxSnippet on any page with the snippet name and parameters.
• The snippet outputs an empty block with a preloader and registers an ajax request.
• After the page loads, the request runs and the response is put into that block.
• The request can run on page load or when a trigger link is clicked.

Snippet parameters

Name	Default	Description
&snippet	pdoResources	Snippet to run via Ajax.
&propertySet		Name of the snippet property set to use.
&wrapper		Wrapper chunk. Must contain an element with id="[[+key]]".
&as_mode	onload	When to load: right after page load («onload») or on trigger link click («onclick»).
&as_trigger		Trigger link text for «onclick» mode. Default: lexicon entry «as_trigger».
&as_target		CSS selector of the element to insert the response into. Default: where the wrapper chunk is output.

Everything you pass to AjaxSnippet is forwarded to the snippet. The snippet can be called cached.

Examples

Deferred loading with pdoResources:

[[AjaxSnippet?
  &snippet=`pdoResources`
  &parents=`0`
  &tpl=`@INLINE <p>[[+id]] - [[+pagetitle]]</p>`
  &as_mode=`onload`
]]

Same, but load starts on link click:

[[AjaxSnippet?
  &snippet=`pdoResources`
  &parents=`0`
  &tpl=`@INLINE <p>[[+id]] - [[+pagetitle]]</p>`
  &as_mode=`onclick`
  &as_trigger=`Click me!`
]]
