lum.dom.js

A small set of DOM helpers wrapped in a minimalist core.

Features

• Wraps a window object so it works in browser or Node.js with jsdom.
• Has a bunch of simple type tests.
• Simple method wrappers for common functionality:
  • dom.elem() → document.createElement()
  • dom.frag() → document.createDocumentFragment()
  • dom.parse() → (new DOMParser()).parseFromString()
  • dom.html() → Use dom.parse() forcing HTML, and return the element(s). Can optionally run dom.extend() on the returned value automatically.
  • dom.xml() → Use dom.parse() forcing XML, and return the document element. Can optionally run dom.extend() automatically.
• A Query library which extends querySelector and querySelectorAll.
  • Use dom.query for access to a default library instance.
  • Has a dom.find() shortcut method to find multiple nodes. Can optionally return an HTMLCollection instead of a NodeList.
  • Has a dom.get() shortcut method to find a single node.
  • With dom.options.extendQueries set to true, results from either of the shortcut methods use dom.extend() automatically.
• An Events library to make working with event handlers easier.
  • Supports building delegated event handlers automatically.
  • Use dom.events for access to a default library instance.
  • Has dom.on(), dom.off(), dom.trigger() shortcut methods.
• An Extender library to add additional methods and accessor properties to Node, NodeList, or HTMLCollection object instances.
  • Use dom.extender for access to a default library instance.
  • Has a dom.extend() shortcut method.
• A ListCompiler library for building NodeList and HTMLCollection objects, which normally cannot be constructed manually.
  • Use dom.listCompiler for access to a default library instance.
  • Used by the Query library to build composite lists, and to convert NodeList results into HTMLCollection results when asked to.
  • Can be easily extended to add other DOM objects without constructors.
