select-dom

Lightweight querySelector/All wrapper that outputs an Array

Version 5+ only supports browsers with Set support. If you need IE 10- support, stick to select-dom@4

Install

npm install select-dom

// This module is only offered as a ES Module
import select from 'select-dom';

API

Note: if a falsy value is passed as baseElement, you'll always get an empty result (bd578b9)

select(selector[, baseElement = document])

Maps to baseElement.querySelector(selector)

select('.foo a[href=bar]')
// => <Element>

select('.foo a[href=bar]', baseElement)
// => <Element>

select.last(selector[, baseElement = document])

Like select(), except that it returns the last matching item on the page instead of the first one.

select.exists(selector[, baseElement = document])

Tests the existence of one or more elements matching the selector. It's like select(), except it returns a boolean.

select.exists('.foo a[href=bar]')
// => true/false

select.exists('.foo a[href=bar]', baseElement)
// => true/false

select.all(selector[, baseElements = document])

Maps to baseElements.querySelectorAll(selector) plus:

• it always returns an array
• baseElements can be a list of elements to query

select.all('.foo')
// => [<Element>, <Element>, <Element>]

select.all('.foo', baseElement)
// => [<Element>, <Element>, <Element>]

select.all('.foo', [baseElement1, baseElement2])
// => [<Element>, <Element>, <Element>]
// This is similar to jQuery([baseElement1, baseElement2]).find('.foo')
