dumb-query-selector

Shortcuts to the querySelector(All) functions, the (All) instead returning an array of nodes (because NodeLists are dumb).

Installation

Via Bower:

bower install dumb-query-selector --save

Via NPM:

npm install dumb-query-selector --save

Since this project is only 1 script, you can also download the script to your project if you prefer: dumb-query-selector.js.

Usage

This project exports 2 functions via UMD, $ and $$, and is available to you through a variety of different module loaders. If used in the browser outside of a module environment, then both functions are available globally.
The first, $, returns a single node, whereas $$ returns an array of nodes.

import {$, $$} from 'dumb-query-selector';

// Return matching element, use it directly
let result = $('#some-id');
let blah = result.getAttribute('data-blah');

// Return array of matching elements, allowing the use of array functions
let results = $$('.some-classes');
results.forEach(result => {
  // ...
});

Both functions take up to 2 arguments:
- query

Type: `String`  
A standard CSS selector.

- scope

Type: `Node`  
Optional context on which to invoke the function.  Defaults to `document` if
not specified.
