Doc-amd

Doc-amd library

doc.js is a small library to manipulate the DOM in any browser. We focused on the most used and common use cases to create this. This library uses amd structure.

Why?

We needed a small footprint alternative for jquery and still have the ease-of-use for the most commonly used methods on it.

Then, we built it from scratch.

Installation

Install with Npm: npm install elo7-doc-amd

Dependencies

Doc-amd depends on an amd implementation. We suggest define-async implementation for dependency lookup. Doc-amd also depends on events-amd.

on

.on(event, callback [,eventCategory]) or .on(event, callback [, { named: eventCategory, passive: passive } ])

Description:

Adds an event listener on a Doc object.

Parameters:

event: String //One or more events that you want to attach to your selector

callback: Function() //A function to call when the event is triggered

Please note that this method does not work like jquery's .on(). If you append new elements in the page you will have to call .on again on those elements.

eventCategory: You can add multiple 'events' of the same type (e.g: click) and use the eventCategory parameter to prevent one event from being called.

Sample:

define(['doc'], function(doc) {
	doc('button').throttle('click', function(){ ... }); //Adds an event listener for the 'click' event.
	doc('button').throttle('click', function(){ ... }, 5000); //Adds an event listener for the 'click' event, preventing other 'click' events to fire within 5 seconds
	doc('button').throttle('click', function(){ ... }, 1000, 'tracker'); //Adds an event listener for the 'click' event with 'tracker' category, aditional clicks will be ignored for 1 second.

	doc('button').off('click'); //Removes the event listener
	doc('button').off('click', 'tracker'); //Removes the event listener with the 'tracker' eventCategory
});

trigger

});
