Hello, I wanted check-in with all the jQuery folks to see, whats the latest, best plugin for In Place Editing?
I've used Jeditable way back when and figured there is likely something better by now as Jeditable doesn't appear to be maintained and it's a huge download (24kb+s?)
Any suggestions? I'm using Rails 3, so hopefully it supports PUTs.
Thanks!
Believe it or not Jeditable still seems to be the de-facto edit-in-place plugin for jQuery. It supports PUT just fine via the method option. I am currently using it with Rails 3.
There are several small edit-in-place plugins for jquery. Another popular one is in-place-editor. I really wouldn't worry too much about the lack of activity. Edit-in-place isn't exactly a very complicated subject. Jeditable's last commit was on April and In-Place-Editor's was in June. I'd recommend you stick with Jeditable if it's what you know.
I still think JEditable is one of the best out there for this purpose, haven't seen a full replacement really. There's a more enhanced version maintained here on GitHub that you can grab, with optional plugins as well.
The 24kb size isn't anything to be concerned about, that's the fully commented version - it's around 8kb minified and that's before it gets gzipped when being sent to the client.
