uSelector
A micro, super fast, scope limited, javascript selector engine to be used anywhere
uSelector (micro selector), is a node selector for HTML documents that uses css expressions to select nodes. It's based on Slick, the selector used on the Mootools javascript framework.
Supported selectors
- tag
- id
- class
- custom pseudo-classes
Unsupported selectors
- combinators (ex: "div span", "div > span")
- multiple expressions (expressions with comma, ex: "div, span")
- attribute (ex: "a[title='title']")
Suported with the uSelectorPseudoClasses module
- :empty
- :first-child
- :last-child
- :only-child
- :first-of-type
- :last-of-type
- :only-of-type
- :disabled
- :checked
- :selected
note: To build with these pseudo-selectors included do make build all=true
How to use
$u('your-selector')
-> returns an array of nodes that match the selector
Create your own pseudo-class
$u.pseudo['your-custom-pseudo'] = function(node){
return boolean;
};
It should return true if the passed node fits the behavior of your pseudo. see the "src/uSelectorPseudoClasses.js"
Examples
<div>
<span>text</span>
<strong class="strong-class">strong-text</strong>
<div id="id" class="div-class"></div>
</div>
$u('strong.strong-class') -> [<strong.strong-class>]
$u('span') -> [<span>]
$u('#id') -> [<div#id.div-class>]
$u('div#id') -> [<div#id.div-class>]
$u('div#id.div-class') -> [<div#id.div-class>]
$u('em') -> []
