AgnosticWipe

AgnosticWipe is a utility function that safely removes all child nodes of a given DOM element, avoiding the use of innerHTML to clear content. It includes configurable debugging capabilities (log and warn), similar to other Agnostic modules, to assist with troubleshooting during development.

Features

• Safely wipes the content of a DOM element without using innerHTML.
• Configurable debugging for logging and warnings.
• Simple, clean, and secure DOM manipulation.

Installation

You can install AgnosticWipe via npm:

npm install agnostic-wipe

Usage

Importing and Declaring Debugging

To use agnosticWipe, first import it and configure the debugging options globally. You can then wipe the content of elements without needing to reconfigure debugging for every call.

import { agnosticWipe } from 'agnostic-wipe';

// Configure AgnosticWipe with debug options globally
window.agnosticWipe = agnosticWipe({ debugLog: true, debugWarn: true });

Basic Usage

Once agnosticWipe is configured globally, you can call it directly to wipe the content of any element by providing the target selector:

// Wipe content of an element with the ID '#myElement'
window.agnosticWipe('#myElement');

This will safely remove all the child nodes of the selected element.

Direct Usage Without Debugging

If you don't need to configure debugging, you can use agnosticWipe without setting the options:

// Wipe content of an element without configuring debugging
agnosticWipe()('#myElement');

Debugging

The agnosticWipe function can be configured to show logs and warnings:

• debugLog: Controls the appearance of informational messages (console.log). It can be set to true or false.
• debugWarn: Controls the appearance of warning messages (console.warn). It can be set to true or false.

By default, both flags are set to false.

Example:

Show only warnings in the console:

window.agnosticWipe = agnosticWipe({ debugLog: false, debugWarn: true });

Show both logs and warnings:

window.agnosticWipe = agnosticWipe({ debugLog: true, debugWarn: true });

Show nothing:

window.agnosticWipe = agnosticWipe;

-or-

window.agnosticWipe = agnosticWipe({ debugLog: false, debugWarn: false });
