domel

Build Status Build Status NPM version

A simple dom helper if you want to get rid of jQuery.

NPM

You can use it with the commonjs or amd pattern otherwise it will just inject to window.domHelper

Install

  npm install domel

Initialize

var domel = require( "domel" );

// general selector
domel( ".myid .subclass" ); // a list of matching elements 

// get by class
domel.byClass( "my-class" ); // a list of elements 

// get by id
var myEl = domel.byId( "my-id" ); // a single element
myEl.d.addClass( "foo" ).d.show()

Methods

This module will add a d property to every retuned dom element. So you can use at least every domel function without adding the element el.d.{function}(). You can even just add this helper by calling domel.domel( el ).
