dom-plus

PRO DOM Generator

Very simple DOM generator with types declaration.

Why?

• [x] 🤯 Vanilla JS, no framework required!
• [x] 😏 No more document.createElement and element.appendChild!
• [x] 🤫 Even no element.addEventListener!
• [x] 🤩 Modify existing Element instance!
• [x] 😍 Fricking tiny size: 0 dependencies, 0 configuration, 0 problems! dist/index.js 2.46 kB │ gzip: 0.96 kB │ map: 13.62 kB

Installation

From NPM

# Via npm
npm install dom-plus
# Or pnpm
pnpm add dom-plus
# Yarn? sure
yarn add dom-plus

Then import it to your project.

// ESM
import { h } from 'dom-plus'
// CJS
const { h } = require('dom-plus')

In browser

<script src="https://unpkg.com/dom-plus"></script>
<script>
  const { h } = window.DOMPlus
  // ...
</script>

Or... Why not ESM?

import { h } from 'https://unpkg.com/dom-plus?module'
// ...

Usage

General usage

// step-1  - create element
const block = h('div', { class: 'foo', style: 'color: red' }, [
  h('span', 'bar'),
  'baz',
])
// step-2? - no more steps! It works as you expect!
console.info(block.outerHTML) // <div class="foo"><span>bar</span>baz</div>

CSS styles

Why not use CSS styles as an object?

const redBlock = h('div', { style: { color: 'red' } }, 'Hey, I am red!')
  .$css({
    backgroundColor: 'black',
  })
  .$css('font-size', '2em')

It's working! Even with the types!

Class names

const block = h('div', { class: ['foo', 'bar'] }, 'Hey, I have classes!')
  .$addClass('baz')
  .$removeClass('foo')

Needless to say, it's working too!!

Event listeners

const button = h(
  'button',
  {
    onClick: () => {
      alert('Hello, world!')
    },
  },
  'Click me!'
)
const stop = button.$on('click', (e) => {
  e.preventDefault()
  e.stopPropagation()
  alert('This alert will be shown only once!')
  stop()
})

IT JUST WORKS!!!

Pass through Element as first argument

So you can modify the element.

// From: <div id="some-element">Blah</div>
const block = h(
  document.querySelector('#some-element'),
  { class: 'foo' },
  'Hey, I am a block!'
)
block.$css('color', 'red').$addClass('bar')
// To: <div id="some-element" class="foo bar" style="color: red;">Hey, I am a block!</div>

Why are you still reading this?!! Just try it!!!!!
