Run and config example

"render" method is returning elements detected in DOM. Each "element.dom" is returned as an array of HTMLcollection. See in example below:

new DomObserver({
    elements: [
        { 
            selector: '#wpadminbar',
            async: false,
            position: 'fixed'
        }, { 
            selector: '.nav_action_bar',
            async: true, // element added by tag manager
            position: 'absolute'
        }, { 
            selector: '.navigation-main',
            async: false,
            position: 'sticky'
        }
    ],
    config: { 
        childList: true
    },
    events: [
        'load',
        'resize',
        'scroll'
    ]
}).render( render => {
    const { props, state } = render
    const { elements } = props
    const { event, eventProps, asyncElementsLoaded, observer } = state

    // define each element height
    elements.map( element => {
        if ( !element.dom || element.dom && element.dom.length === 0 ) return
        element.height = parseInt( Math.round(element.dom[0].getBoundingClientRect().height) )
    })

    console.log( event )
    console.log( observer ) // you can disconnect observer by using observer.disconnect(); and return to observing by observer.observe();
    console.log( elements )
    console.log( asyncElementsLoaded ) // all async elements from list loaded
})
