 # Dial.js  
-*the most fun you can have with jQuery and browser history states*  
-  
-Dial.js is a browser history framework built on jQuery with History.js. It simplifies browser history integration of event-driven interfaces and provides a simple alternative to MVC frameworks, especially for single-page applications (SPAs).

+Dial.js is a browser history framework built on jQuery with History.js. It simplifies browser history integration of event-driven interfaces and provides a simple alternative to MVC frameworks, especially for single-page applications (SPAs). <br/>
+<br/>
+[View the basic example](https://cdn.rawgit.com/danielteichman/Dial.js/5b703917c1c6bbe31a72accb090f1a0b2e76e617/Examples/basic_example.html) <br/>
+ <br/>
+##Exposed API
+<br/>
+####The `DialFactory` object <br/>
+
+- `DialFactory.makedial(dialName, historic, selectorAttribute)` <br/> Returns  a new `Dial` object <br/> *Example* `var dialName = DialFactory.makeDial('my first dial', true, data-application-attribute);`
+  - `dialName` The name of the new `Dial` object that will be returned by this function
+  - `historic` determines whether changes to the new `Dial` object's state will be recorded into the browser history
+  - `selectorAttribute` *(optional*) contains the name of the `data` attribute that DOM elements will provide to the new `Dial` object's state functions (default `data-dial-js`)
+
+- `DialFactory.setSelectorAttribute(selectorAttribute)` <br/> Sets the default `selectorAttribute` for future instances of `Dial` objects (default `data-dial-js`)
+
+####The `Dial` object <br/>
+**Note: `Dial` objects must be instantiated through the `DialFactory`**
+
+- `dialVar.addState(stateName, fn, queryEffector)` Adds code to apply a state from the `Dial` object.
+ - `stateName` the name of the state that will be added to the `Dial`
+ - `fn` the function that will be called when the state named `stateName` is applied. This function will recieve one argument called `data`
+ - *optional* `queryEffector` a function that will be called when a state is applied to change the `?var=val` query string in the URL bar. This function will recieve two arguments, the same `data` that was passed to `fn` and also the `oldquery` old query string.
+
+- `dialVar.associateElements(selector, event, stateName)` associate DOM elements with a state of the `Dial` object
+ - `selector` the jQuery selector of the elements that will activate the state `stateName`
+ - `event` the DOM event that will activate the state `stateName` when it occurs from any elements matched by the `selector`
+ - `stateName` the name of the state that will be applied from this `Dial`
+
+- `dialVar.trigger(data, stateName, historic)` <br/> Applies the state `stateName` belonging to this `Dial` object, passing argument `data` to the state's function.
+  - `data` argument to pass to the state function
+  - `stateName` name of the state to apply from this `Dial` object
+  - `historic` *optional* overrides this `Dial` object's default history-recording behavior where `true` means the new state will be part of the browser history and `false` means the new state will be applied without affecting the browser history.
