#bigwheel ##class: bigwheel~bigwheel Members
###new bigwheel~bigwheel(settingsFunc) When instantiating bigwheel you must pass in a setup function.
In this function you may do any preparation that must be done for your application such as creating a global Canvas element or something else.
The setup function must either return a settings object for bigwheel or this function must receive a callback which you will call with the settings object. Furthermore you can pass back a promise from this settings function which will receive the settings object.
The following documents what can be passed in the settings object:
{
///// REQUIRED /////
// routes defines all the routes for your website it can also define a
// 404 section which will be opened if the route is incorrect
routes: {
'/': someSection,
'/someOther': someOtherSection,
'404': sectionFourOhFour
},
///// OPTIONAL /////
initSection: preSection, // this could be a section that is run always
// before routes are even evaluated. This is
// usefulf for site preloaders or landing pages
// such as age verification (something the user
// must see)
autoResize: true, // by default this value is true. When this value is
// true a resize listener is added to the window
// whenever the window changes size it's width and
// height is passed to all instantiated sections
postHash: '#!', // this string is appended before the route.
// by default it's value is '#!'
}
