About

This is a fork of Zepto.js that has been performance-optimized for server-side usage with jsdom or domino.

Rationale

The most straightforward approach to using Zepto.js with Node.js would be to wrap the whole library inside a huge closure and pass the current window object as parameter.

Unfortunately this leads to in pretty bad performance as a lot of processor time is spent with garbage collection.

In order to improve the performance characteristics the code as been refactored so that all prototype methods accesses the associated $ and windowobjects via this.$ and this.$.window.

Usage

var domino = require('domino');
var Zepto = require('zepto-node');
 
var window = domino.createWindow();
 
var $ = Zepto(window);
$('body').append('<h1>Hello World</h1>');

Tests

The original Evidence tests have been ported to Mocha and can be run via npm test.
