ParasiteJS

Use javascript the way you want, fast as possible.

Objective

Now, more than ever, you do not need jQuery to manipulate HTML elements and their events. The ParasiteJS library consumes HTML elements, nodelists, and collections by adding key query and iteration functions, focusing on performance and agility in development.

Performance

All added functions aim to approach vanilla performance.

Agility in Development

When talking about agility, vanilla is more inefficient than all query libraries (for this, they exist :P).

The javascript does not have functions to manipulate the lists returned by the search of elements (querySelectorAll, getElements ...) forcing you to create functions to do this.

The ParasiteJS functions are available in collections and elements making these functions always available into the elements. The functions are based on jQuery but are NOT compatible, so check out the documentation below.

Warning

This project does not objective the module creation. This is a lightweight and faster alternative than jQuery for "Do not use jQuery" projects where jQuery is not a dependency.

Install

 npm i parasitejs

How to use

Module

Require parasitejs and he goes modify lists, collections and elements:

const{ p$ }=require('parasitejs')p$(()=>{// Same as document.findlet$el=p$('tag.class#id[attr="value"]')$el=$el.find('selector')$el.findTag('tag')// Return collection.findId('id')// Return element.findClass('class')// Return collection .find('selector')// Return list.css({style: 'value'});})

Web

Download script into /dist/web/ folder and import normally:

<scripttype="text/javascript" src="parasite.min.js"/><script>p$(()=>{// Same as document.findlet$el=p$('tag.class#id[attr="value"]')$el=$el.find('selector')$el.findTag('tag')// Return collection.findId('id')// Return element.findClass('class')// Return collection .find('selector')// Return list.css({style: 'value'});});</script>

Pseudo jQuery-like Function

The ParasiteJS create a variable called p$. That provides static functions and an constructor.

jQuery-like Function

// Find selector and return collectionp$(selector: string): ParasitedList|NodeList|HTMLCollection// on ready callbackp$(handler: Function): void// Array of HTMLElementsp$(elemArr: HTMLElement[]): ParasitedList// HTML Elementp$(elem: HTMLElement): ParasitedList

Static Helpers

// DOM Readyp$.ready(fn: Function): void// Each lists and collections with lengthp$.each(list: ArrayLike<any>,iterator: (keyIndex: string|number,value: any)=>boolean): ArrayLike<any>

Javascript Helpers

// Load other js files with javascriptp$.require(filePath: string): void// Load javascript codep$.globalEval(code: string): void

AJAX

// Ajax jQuery-likep$.ajax(url?: string,settings: AJAXSettings): Deferred// GET URLp$.get(url: string,data?: any,success: AJAXSuccess): Deferredp$.get(settings: AJAXSettings): Deferred// POST URLp$.post(url: string,data: any,success: AJAXSuccess): Deferredp$.post(settings: AJAXSettings): Deferred

Promise

// Deferred jQuery-likep$.Deferred(beforeStart?: Function): Deferred
