##Installation
###Step 1: Link required files
First and most important, the jQuery library needs to be included. Next, download the package from this site and link the lightCheckout CSS file and the lightCheckout Javascript file.
<!-- jQuery library (served from Google) --> <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <!-- lightCheckout Javascript file --> <script src="/js/lightCheckout.min.js"></script> <!-- lightCheckout CSS file --> <link href="/css/lightCheckout.css" rel="stylesheet" />
###Step 2: Starting HTML DOM
Initially your page contains a form (or just a fields wrapper)
<form class="addressForm"> <div class="name"> <input name="name" id="name" type="text" /> </div> <div class="surname"> <input name="surname" id="surname" type="text" /> </div> <div class="address"> <input name="address" id="address" type="text" /> </div> <div class="city"> <input name="city" id="city" type="text" /> </div> <div class="zipcode"> <input name="zipcode" id="zipcode" type="text" /> </div> <div class="province"> <select name="province" id="province" > <option value="NY">New York</option> <option value="CA">California</option> <option value="...">...</option> </select> </div> <div class="submit"> <input type="submit" value="Continue"> </div> </form>
###Step 3: Create an options js object and Call LightChekout
Before you have to create a js var that contains basic lightCheckout options:
- inputWrapper // DOM element that wraps each input or select field
- address // address input field
- city // city input field
- province // province input field
- zip // zip code input field
Then call .lightChekout() on your
or wrapper. Note that the call must be made inside of a $(document).ready() call, or the plugin will not work!$(document).ready(function(){ var options = { inputWrapper: 'div', address: '#address', city: '#city', province: '#province', zip: '#zipcode' }; $('.addressForm').lightCheckout(options); });
