Creates a new element with the provided options.

Example

import { createElement } from 'ts-dom-utils';

const button = createElement('button', {
  id: 'my-button',
  class: ['btn', 'btn-primary'],
  text: 'Click me',
  onclick: (event) => {
    console.log('clicked!', event)
  },
  dataset: {
    action: 'open-menu',
  },
  'aria-expandended': 'false',
});

document.body.appendChild(button);
// <button id="my-button" class="btn btn-primary" data-action="open-menu" aria-expandended="false">Click me</button>

DOMisReady is a function that returns a Promise. This Promise resolves when the provided DOM is ready, i.e., when the document's readyState is not 'loading'. This can be used to delay script execution until the DOM is fully constructed and can be safely manipulated.

import { DOMisReady, qs } from 'ts-dom-utils';

// using then
DOMisReady().then(() => {
  // DOM manipulation code here
});

// using async/await
(async function() {
  await DOMisReady();
  // DOM manipulation code here
})();

// checking if an iframe's document is ready
const iframe = qs<HTMLIFrameElement>('iframe');
DOMisReady(iframe.contentDocument).then(() => {
  // iframe DOM manipulation code here
});

A wrapper function for document.querySelector.

Example

import { qs } from 'ts-dom-utils';

const container = qs<HTMLDivElement>('.footer > .buttons');
const button = qs<HTMLButtonElement>('button', container);

A wrapper function for document.querySelectorAll.

Example

import { qsa } from 'ts-dom-utils';

const buttons = qsa<HTMLButtonElement>('.btn');

const menu = qs<HTMLDivElement>('.menu');
const menuButtons = qsa<HTMLButtonElement>('.btn', menu);
