I have been working on a javascript heavy project. There are sales, purchases, reports etc. What I've done is created a separate module for each i.e. a separate module for each i.e. a separate one for sale, one for purchase and so on. I am posting one of my modules, all the others have same structure. Can anyone please review it. Is there anything wrong with it or is everything okay. Any changes that I may want to consider to make it more better i.e. mantainable:

var navigation = {

init : function (){
    navigation.bindUI();

    $('.ReportViews').addClass('active');
    $('.stockNavReports').addClass('active');
},

bindUI : function () {
    $("#btnReset").on('click', function (){
        navigaiton.resetReport();
    });

    $("#btnShow").on('click', function (){

        var fromEl = $('#txtStart');
        var toEl = $('#txtEnd');
        var groupBy = navigation.getGroupingCriteria();         

        if (navigation.validDateRange(fromEl.val(), toEl.val())) {
            navigation.fetchReportData(fromEl.val(), toEl.val(), groupBy);
        }
        else{
            fromEl.addClass('input-error');
            toEl.addClass('input-error');
        }

    });
},

getGroupingCriteria : function () {
    return $('input[name="grouping"]:checked').val().toLowerCase();
},

fetchReportData : function (startDate, endDate, groupBy) {

    if (typeof navigation.dTable != 'undefined') {
        navigation.dTable.fnDestroy();
        $('#navigationRows').empty();
    }       

    $.ajax({
            url: base_url + "index.php/report/getNavigationReportData",                
            data: { startDate : startDate, endDate : endDate, groupBy : groupBy },
            type: 'POST',
            dataType: 'JSON',
            beforeSend: function () {
                // console.log(this.data);
             },
            complete: function () { },
            success: function (result) {

\$\begingroup\$

In short,

your code looks good until $.ajax where far to many things happen, more specifically too many things happen in success.

The funny thing there is that it would look already a lot better if you took a generic approach to deal with the grouping.

Maybe you can have a groupingConfig object :

var groupingConfigs = 
{
  date     : { template : '#report-dhead-template'  , fieldName : 'VRDATE'   },
  vrnoa    : { template : '#report-vhead-template'  , fieldName : 'VRNOA'    },
  godown_1 : { template : '#report-g1head-template' , fieldName : 'GODOWN_1' },
  godown_2 : { template : '#report-g1head-template' , fieldName : 'GODOWN_1' }
}

then, before the $.each( you can get the groupingConfig

var groupingConfig = groupingConfigs[groupBy];

and within the $.each( you can simply

if (groupingConfig)
{
  if (previousValue != obj[groupingConfig.fieldName])
  {
    // Create the heading for this new group. 
    var source   = $( groupingConfig.template ).html();
    var template = Handlebars.compile(source);
    var html = template(obj);

    navigationRows.append(html);
    //Reset the previous group value
    previousValue = obj[groupingConfig.fieldName];
  }
}

Also, the below creation of the dataTable looks all kind of wrong:

navigation.dTable = $('#datatable_StockNavigationRows').dataTable({
    // Uncomment, if datatable not working
    // "sDom": "<'row-fluid table_top_bar'<'span12'<'to_hide_phone' f>>>t<'row-fluid control-group full top' <'span4 to_hide_tablet'l><'span8 pagination'p>>",
    "sDom": "<'row-fluid table_top_bar'<'span12'<'to_hide_phone'<'row-fluid'<'span8' f>>>'<'pag_top' p> T>>t<'row-fluid control-group full top' <'span4 to_hide_tablet'l><'span8 pagination'p>>",
    "aaSorting": [[0, "asc"]],
    "bPaginate": true,
    "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
    "bJQueryUI": false,
    "aoColumns": dontSort,
    "bSort": false,
    "iDisplayLength" : 100,
    "oTableTools": {
        "sSwfPath": "js/copy_cvs_xls_pdf.swf",
        "aButtons": [{ "sExtends": "print", "sButtonText": "Print Report", "sMessage" : "Stock Navigation Report" }]
    }
});
  • Hungarian notation, don't do that
  • sDom is a super long string without any comment
  • the commented sDom has a superfluous comment
  • bJQueryUI ?

Finally,

validDateRange  : function (from, to){
    if(Date.parse(from) > Date.parse(to)){
       return false
    }
    else{
       return true;
    }
},  

should really be

validDateRange  : function (from, to)
{
  return !(Date.parse(from) > Date.parse(to));
},
