Install

Require

var nodeList = require("bloody-nodeList")

Definition

NodeList is basically a "subclassed array" (or looks like it, depending on the implementation). It lets you get a class especially for your nodeLists, on top of which you can implement your own methods. NodeList gives you the keys for a simple, syntax friendly, custom implementation.

How to

var nodeList = require("bloody-nodeList")
  , myNodeList = nodeList.create(document.body)
 
nodeList.prototype.getNodeName = function(){
  var element = this[0]
  if(!element) return null
  return element.nodeName.toUpperCase()
}
 
myNodeList.getNodeName() // "BODY"
 
Array.prototype.getNodeName // undefined

Methods

nodeList.create([any]) -> list

Creates a nodeList, arguments act like the Array constructor's ones.

nodeList.$()

Builds a nodeList with the given arguments. Uses nodeList.selector for DOM requests, nodeList.querySelectorAll per default. This can be changed with nodeList.selector = function(context, selector){ /* -> array */ } (with this order for arguments).

Arguments can be as follow :

nodeList.$(node) 
nodeList.$(selector)
nodeList.$(selector, context)
nodeList.$(array)
nodeList.$(window)
nodeList.$(nodeList)

Properties

nodeList.prototype

Prototype shared accros nodeLists.
