Question.

Can this be applied as an "Add to Favourites" in the scope of a Product Catalog ?

Thanks for your question. Yes, definitely you can use jNottery to encode and save in URL some products from a catalog. However in modern browsers it's not possible to programmatically "add to favourites" from your js code. You will have to notify a user that the current URL includes all of the product selections which he has made, and it's ready for bookmarking. Then the user can use proper shortcut or browser's menu to add those selections to favourites.

jNottery is intended for storing markers added to DOM elements. So in your case you would probably pass a div container of product to jNottery and it will take care of the rest. Take a look at 'reddit-marker' in examples it has some similar concept implemented. You may also consider to store only id's of products as table of ints, encode them and save in the URL. Then there is no need to use the whole project, which is quite heavy. Rayson is an another project of mine, which is a JSON serializer used by jNottery to encode data in URL. It should be rather easy to grab an array of product selections, pass it to rayson and then finally to window.location.hash.

If you have any further questions feel free to contact me here or at contact@jnottery.com.
