Common Module

This is a common module with functionality for use within other modules - some code here is repeated or replacements for JQuery functionality with some additional functionality. This library is now written in pure javascript and requires no other dependencies. The functionality within this library is as follows:

Types

JSONData<T> - This is an alias to the union string | T | undefined | null - This is for when you aren't sure if you shall be receiving an object, a string, or nothing at all.

Functions

stopPropagation(e:Event):void - This function both stops the propagation and prevents default of an event, and is a replacement for the standard JQuery function.

hasClass(element:HTMLElement, className:string):boolean - This function checks if an element has a class.

hideElement(element:HTMLElement):void - This function hides an element and sets the ARIA hidden attribute to true - this is a more specific and ARIA-compatible version of JQuery's hide() function.

showElement(element:HTMLElement):void - This function shows an element and sets the ARIA hidden attribute to false - this is a more specific and ARIA-compatible version of JQuery's show() function.

addClass(element:HTMLElement, className:string):void - This function adds a class to an element.

removeClass(element:HTMLElement, className:string):void - This function removes a class from an element.

fromJSON<T>(data:JSONData<T>):T - This function converts a JSON string to an object, or returns the object if it is not a string.
