DOMinion

DOMinion is a lightweight DOM manipulation library that provides easy to use methods for working with the DOM with minimal overhead. DOMinion provides methods that allows adding or removing classes from HTML elements as well as methods to add event listeners and even a method for creating XML requests.

###Technical Details:

//Selector can be string, HTMLElement object or function.
//Returns either DOMNodeCollection or registers callback.
root.$d = function (selector) {
 var returnVal;
 switch (typeof(selector)) {
    case "string":
      returnVal = _getSelectorsFromDom(selector);
      break;
    case "object":
      if (selector instanceof HTMLElement) {
        returnVal = new DOMNodeCollection(selectors);
      }
      break;
    case "function":
      _registerCallback(selector);
      break;
  }
	return returnVal;
};

//If selector is a function it will be registered and called when
// the document is ready.
var _registerCallback = function (callback) {
  if(_docReady){
    callback();
  } else {
	_docReadyCallbacks.push(callback);
  }
};

###Public API

$d.extend(target[,object]...[,object]) - Merge one or more objects into target object.

$d.ajax([options]) - Asynchronous XMLHttpRequest. ###DOMNodeCollection ####Constructor $d(selector) - Create new DOMNodeCollection or add callback to be called on DOM ready. #####DOM Manipulation addClass(className) - Add class to DOM elements.

append(children) - Add children elements to DOM elements.

attr(attrName, value) - Set attribute to value for DOM elements.

empty() - Set DOM elements to empty strings.

on(eventName, callback) - Add callback to DOM elements for particular eventName.

off(eventName, callback) - Remove callback from DOM elements for particular eventName.

remove() - Remove DOM elements from DOM.

removeClass(className) - Remove the class className from DOM elements

#####DOM Retrieval children() - Get children of DOM elements, returns new DOMNodeCollection.

each() - Iterate through each DOM element.

equal(index) - Find DOM element by index in DOMNodeCollection, returns new DOMNodeCollection.

filter(selector) - Find DOM elements that match on string selector, returns new DOMNodeCollection.

find(selector) - Find DOM elements by selector, returns new DOMNodeCollection.

parent() - Get parent of DOM elements, returns new DOMNodeCollection.
