JS Light Utils

JS Light Utils is a small collection of js utils wrapped up into a familiar jquery like $ object. But with a much smaller footprint.

• DOM: Powered by jbone -- a tiny jquery replacment.
• AJAX: A promise-based implementation with jquery syntax. Includes the es6-promise polyfill.
• Pubsub: A simple pubsub pattern for your modules.

Usage with npm

Install with npm

npm install @hungryinc/js-light-utils

Use in your project

var $ = require('@hungryinc/js-light-utils');

Dom Util

Use just like jQuery. Refer to jbone docs for details.

$('a').addClass('rainbow-colors');

Pubsub util

$.on(topic, listener)
$.off(topic)
$.trigger(topic, data)

Ajax Util

// METHOD can be get, post, put, or delete
$.METHOD(url, [data])

Examples:

$.get('https://unicorns.magic').then(doTheThings);

$.post('https://unicorns.magic/launch', {which: 'garfolo'})
	.then(function (response) {
		console.log(response.data);
	}, function (response) {
		console.log(response.error);
	});

Tests

• Here's an html playground with some quick and dirty tests for now. npm run build-tests
• Then open tests/index.html

FAQ

• How big is it? -- 8kb gzipped (without the es6-promise polyfill. 16kb with the polyfill)
