API

domSearch(node, pattern, options) -> result

node is any dom node with text children.

pattern can be string, or regexp to search with.

result is an array of objects with two fields:

• textNode (the text node the pattern matched)
• parent (the parent of the matching text node)

options.all

Set if all occurrences of the pattern should be matched.

The default is false which means the pattern will only be matched once.

About
