Iripo
(pronounced "ee-ree-po")
A tiny (~1Kb minified, single dependency) jquery livequery replacement, built with all the hearty goodness and performance of MutationObserver. Any change to the <html>
element or any children (<head>
, <body>
, or child elements within those nodes) will trigger Iripo. Iripo will only run callback functions when matching elements have appeared or disappeared from the page, and only run when the browser is idle, so as to increase performance.
NOTE: Iripo will intentionally not run when text has been changed on the page, only when actual DOM nodes have been altered.
Usage
Include iripo in your build
npm install iripo
oryarn add iripo
.Run a callback function when a matching element is added to the page: (can use any native javascript selector)
iripo.in("p.my-class", (element) => { console.log("my element", element); });
By default all
in
callbacks will be run once the page is first loaded (whenDOMContentLoaded
fires), and then again when any new matching element is added to the page.If you want to ensure that a callback is run immediately (for example, to run a callback on a pre-existing element on the page) you can pass the
processNow
option to thein
function like so:iripo.in( "p.my-class", (element) => { console.log("my element", element); }, true // Process the callback immediately after instantiation );
This callback will immediately execute against any matching element, without waiting for any new elements to appear. It will also listen for new matching elements and run again once any new matching element is found.
Run a callback function when a matching element is removed from the page: (can use any native javascript selector)
iripo.out("button#some-id", (element) => { console.log("my element", element); });
Pause all callback functions:
iripo.pauseAll();
or just pause a specific one by calling
pause
and passing in a specific selector:iripo.pause("button.my-class");
Resume all callback functions:
iripo.resumeAll();
or just resume a specific one by calling
resume
and passing in a specific selector:iripo.resume("button");
Clear a callback function to prevent it from ever running again:
iripo.clear("button");
Browser support
Iripo works with all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Chromium-based Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, Safari).
Iripo can easily be made to work with Internet Explorer 11 by including core-js.
What's up with the name "Iripo"?
It is a Shona word. Depending on the context, the word iripo (pronounced "ee-ree-po") can mean "is it there?" or "there it is", which seemed like an appropriate name for a library that detects and reacts to something if it exists.
