htmltodom.js: Convert text to DOM elements.

Convert imported text into HTML DOM elements.

How to include the script

This include can be added to the header or placed inline before the script is invoked.

<script src="lib/requests.js"></script>
<script src="js/htmltodom.js"></script>

Or use Require.js.

requirejs([
	'lib/requests.js',
	'js/htmltodom.js'
], function(requests, HtmlToDom) {
	...
});

Or import into an MVC framework.

var requests = require('lib/requests.js');
var HtmlToDom = require('js/htmltodom.js');

How to start the script

new HtmlToDom({
	'html': document.getElementById('example-template'),
	'data': {
		'firstname': 'John',
		'lastname': 'Doe'
	},
	'success': function(elements) { return elements },
	'error': function(errorcode) { console.log(errorcode) }
});

new HtmlToDom({
	'url': 'http://www.woollymittens.nl/useful-htmltodom/dist/html/example-template.html',
	'data': {
		'firstname': 'Jane',
		'lastname': 'Doe'
	},
	'success': function(elements) { return elements }
});

'html' : {text} - Text to be converted into HTML DOM elements.

'url' : {string} - Text file to import using AJAX.

'data' : {object} - Optional list of key/value pairs to replace in the template.
