A javascript library for people who are tired of JQuery, but still want to manipulate the DOM.
Perhaps you're used to using $('dom-element') to select a DOM element.
In YayQuery.js! you'll find a very similar selector.
However... instead of $('dom-element')
You'll use: $y('dom-element').
Why?
$y not? (the $y is for yay!!!!)
$y can differentiate between a simple string selector and an HTMLElement and grab
the correct DOM elements accordingly.
$ycan also be used to make AJAX requests just as in JQuery, y'know, but with an extra "YAY!"
Finally, you can also extend the $y prototype to add functionality and allow chaining of YayQuery! methods.
Great question!
You can use $y('dom-element').append(htmlstuff) to add HTML to the selected elementList
Similarly, you can use $y('dom-element').empty() to remove the HTML you just added. Pretty neat huh?
Not impressed? How about classes? $y('dom-element').addClass('some-class-name') will allow you to
add a class to a selected element!
No worries, I've got you covered. Just use $y('dom-element').removeClass('some-class-name')
and it's like that class was never even there, man!
well with $y('dom-element').parent() that ain't no thing.
Kids love $y('dom-element').children()
"I come from a dysfunctional DOM tree. I want to get rid of my Children because they are obnoxious."
Well that's as simple as $y('dom-element').remove() and show those brats the door one by one!
"Can't I do this later? I don't have the time to wait around for some loser to click on one of my elements to run my callback for cryin' out loud!"
Well, 'LISTEN' UP! You can add an event listener to a node just by using $y('dom-element').on(someEvent, someCallback) and before you say anything you better believe you can take it right back off whenever strikes your fancy with a simple invocation of... you guessed it: $y('dom-element').off(someEvent, someCallback)
