elly
A tiny library for creating and selecting DOM elements.
Is this a jQuery alternative?
Well, in many cases yes. elly is a tiny wrapper around the querySelector
, querySelectorAll
and document.createElement
, so, it basically can select and create DOM elements.
:cloud: Installation
Check out the dist
directory to download the needed files and include them on your page.
If you're using this module in a CommonJS environment, you can install it using npm
or yarn
and require

yarn add elly

:sparkling_heart: Support my projects
I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously,
this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).
However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:
-
Starring and sharing the projects you like :rocket:
-
—I love books! I will remember you after years if you buy me one. :grin: :book:
-
—You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a coffee tea. :tea:
-
—Set up a recurring monthly donation and you will get interesting news about what I'm doing (things that I don't share with everyone).
-
Bitcoin—You can send me bitcoins at this address (or scanning the code below): 1P9BRsmazNQcuyTxEqveUsnf5CERdq35V6
Thanks! :heart:
