[ULS] Universal Language Selector jQuery Plugin

ULS is a jQuery plugin that allows you to implement a Wikimedia Universal language selector on your website. A fast and easy way to learn to use Jquery.uls is experimenting with examples / index.html on your web server.

Jquery.uls provides the jQuery $.fn.uls  extension that can be attached to the launcher object. When you click the trigger item, the language selector appears. The launcher can be a link, a button, or any valid jQuery element.

How to make use of it:

1. Include the newest jQuery library on your website.

<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.min.js"></script>

2. Include essential jQuery ULS information on the web page.

<link href="../css/jquery.uls.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<link href="../css/jquery.uls.grid.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<link href="../css/jquery.uls.lcd.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="../src/jquery.uls.data.js"></script>
<script src="../src/jquery.uls.data.utils.js"></script>
<script src="../src/jquery.uls.lcd.js"></script>
<script src="../src/jquery.uls.languagefilter.js"></script>
<script src="../src/jquery.uls.regionfilter.js"></script>
<script src="../src/jquery.uls.core.js"></script>

3. Create a container for the Language Selector.

<span class="active uls-trigger">Select Language</span>

4. Initialize the plugin on the trigger.

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('.uls-trigger').uls({
    onSelect: function(language){
      var languageName = $.uls.data.getAutonym(language);
      $( '.uls-trigger' ).text( languageName );
    },
    quickList: ['en', 'hi', 'he', 'ml', 'ta', 'fr']
  });
});

5. All default options.

{

// CSS top position for the dialog
top: undefined,
// CSS left position for the dialog
left: undefined,
// Callback function when user selects a language
onSelect: undefined,
// Callback function when the dialog is closed without selecting a language

// If not specified, it will be set automatically.
menuWidth: undefined,
// What is this ULS used for.
