CssChain

html elements methods

CssChain returns an Array inherited object which has all methods and properties of its elements. When method is called, each element would invoke this method and then same CssChain object is returned.

function addTooltip( el ){ ...el.title }
CssChain( '*[title]' ).forEach( el=>addTooltip( el ) ).forEach( addTooltip ).removeAttribute('title');

^^ calls addTiooltip() twice for each element with title attribute and then removes this attribute

CssChain( '*[title]', rootEL ).addEventListener( 'click', ev=> alert(ev.target.title) );

^^ adds event listener to all selected elements in rootEl DOM tree

CssChain( 'a' )
    .addEventListener( 'mouseover', ev=> alert(ev.target.classList.add('hovered') )
    .addEventListener( 'mouseleave', ev=> alert(ev.target.classList.remove('hovered') )
    .addEventListener( 'focus', ev=> alert(ev.target.classList.add('focused') )
    .addEventListener( 'mouseleave', ev=> alert(ev.target.classList.remove('focused') )

^^ adds multiple event handlers in chainable dot notation.

special methods

• forEach() - same as Array.forEach returns CssChain
• map() - same as Array.map returns new CssChain with elements from callback
• push(...arr) - same as Array.push returns appended CssChain
• querySelector(css) - selects 1st element, returns CssChain
• querySelectorAll(css) - selects all children matching css , returns CssChain
• attr(name) (alias for getAttribute) returns 1st element attribute value or undefined for empty collection
• attr(name, value) (alias for setAttribute) sets elements attribute, returns CssChain
• prop(name) returns 1st element property value or undefined for empty collection
• prop(name, value) sets elements attribute, returns CssChain

html elements properties

When property is assigned to collection, this property would be set for all elements in collection. The property get would return property from 1st element.

import { CssChain as $ } from '../src/CssChain.js';
$( 'input' ).value = 'not defined'; // all INPUT elements would have new value set
v = $( 'input' ).prop( value,'not defined' ); // same as ^^
let  v = $( 'input' ).value; // variable would receive the 1st INPUT element value
v = $( 'input' ).prop( value ); // same as ^^

ApiChain

Array of raw objects

$$([ {a:1},{a:2} ]).a=1;    // all arr elements property `a` set to 1
v = $$([ {a:1},{a:2} ]).a;  // 1st element property `a` is returned, i.e. 1
$$( [ { a:1,f(v){ this.a=v} }}, { b:2,f(v){ this.b=v}} ])
        .f(3); // method called on each element, result [{a:3},{b:3}]

Array of class objects

Could be initiated in same fashion as raw objects. But for performance better to provide the reference object as a second parameter:

Class A{ f(){} }
$$( [new A(), new A()], A).f()

Installation

for development of css-chain or css-chain-test:

git clone https://github.com/sashafirsov/css-chain.git
git clone https://github.com/sashafirsov/css-chain-test.git
cd css-chain
npm i
npm link
cd ../css-chain-test
npm i
npm link css-chain

Usage

<script type="module">
    import 'css-chain/css-chain-element.js';
</script>

<css-chain></css-chain>

Testing with Web Test Runner

To execute a single test run:

npm run test

To run the tests in interactive watch mode in browser:

npm run test:watch

Demoing with Storybook

To run a local instance of Storybook for your component, run

npm run storybook

To build a production version of Storybook, run

npm run storybook:build

Tooling configs

For most of the tools, the configuration is in the package.json to minimize the amount of files in your project.

If you customize the configuration a lot, you can consider moving them to individual files.

Local Demo with web-dev-server

npm start

To run a local development server that serves the basic demo located in demo/index.html
