Utilities

The small helper surface exported by v1.6.0 for IDs, option parsing, data API triggers, refs, directives, and devtools.

generateUID(scope?)              // create a scoped runtime id
resetUID()                       // reset UID counters
toCamel("active-index")          // "activeIndex"
parseVal(value)                  // true/false/number/JSON/string
readOptions(el, name, prefix?)   // reads ui-name and ui-name-* options
getDataTarget(trigger, prefix)   // resolves data-target/data-ui-target/hash
getDataAction(trigger, prefix)   // data-ui-action or "toggle"
invokeAction(instance, action)   // calls a public method safely
collectDirectives(el, prefix)    // @click-style attributes
collectRefs(root)                // ref="name" map
getDevtoolsSnapshot()            // immutable runtime snapshot
getDevtoolsBridge()              // live window.__TINY_ENGINE__ bridge

Option parsing

readOptions() reads marker attributes like ui-tabs and option attributes like ui-tabs-active-index, parses booleans, numbers, and JSON, then returns camelCased keys.

Devtools helpers

getDevtoolsSnapshot() returns a copy of the runtime state.getDevtoolsBridge() syncs and returns the live bridge that also appears on window.__TINY_ENGINE__.
