µ - Microbe - 0.5.2

(for modern browsers and ie10+)

microbe is a javascript library to aid in DOM manipulation aimed at speed and consistency as well as facilitating events, and data binding. It uses the micro character ( µ ) that is accessible in:

• osx: alt + m
• windows: alt + 0181
• linux: alt gr + m or alt + 230

microbe aims to be modular and expandable. It’s separated into several modules:

• Selector engine with CSS4 selector support and base functions (find, filter, siblings, children, … )

• Core helpers (class, extend, text, attributes … )

• DOM helpers (append, appendTo, insertAfter, prepend … )

• Type helpers(isUnidentified, isArray, isWindow, … )

• HTTP helpers making use of Promises (get, post, … )

• Data that is retrievable through the DOM. (get/set)

• Events - binding and emitting custom events

• See the full list in the docs

microbes are always array-like for consistency and can be extended and merged very easily.

Usage

• npm i -D microbejs

• bower install -S microbejs

  or

Example use

// all divs on the page
var µDivs = µ( 'div' ) ;
 
// create a div with the class example--class
var newDiv = µ( '<div.example--class>' );
 
// gives the class example--class to each div
µDivs.addClass( 'example--class' );
 
// all divs get a newDiv or a clone of newDiv inserted into the DOM after them
µDivs.insertAfter( newDiv );
 
// sets a custom event watch
µDivs.on( 'toTheMoon', function( e )
{
    console.log( e.detail );
} );
 
// emits a custom event to all elements in µDivs with a custom data packet.
