class-manipulator

Chainable class list API for manipulating a DOM Element's classes or a class string.

Installation

npm install class-manipulator

Usage

Add class "foo", remove "bar", add or remove "baz", then apply the changes to the element:

list(document.querySelector(".myDiv")).add("foo").remove("bar").toggle("baz").apply();

Note how the DOM isn't changed until you call .apply(). The class attribute is only ever read once no matter how many changes you make to the list.

You can also create a class list wrapper not associated with any element:

list("foo bar baz").add("nub").remove("bar").toString(); // "foo baz nub"

You can copy a class list to another element like this:

list("foo bar baz").copyTo(someElement).apply();

You can also sort and filter a class list:

function threeCharsLong (str) {
    return str.length === 3;
}

list("foo apple bar baz").filter(threeCharsLong).sort().toString(); // "bar baz foo"

For a full reference of the API, see docs/index.html. You can also take a look at the tests at tests.js to find out what else you can do with the API.

Development

If you want to contribute, do so by making a pull request on GitHub. Make sure you do the following:

• Update the source code docs if you make changes to the API.
• Run the test to make sure you didn't break anything.
• Add new tests if you add new things to the API.
• Use ESLint on the code and correct any errors reported.
