#mkdom.js - High level Javascript library to create DOM trees mkdom.js is a Javascript library that contains high level functions for creating DOM elements.
mk.mk(type, properties, children)
This is the main function, it creates a new DOM element with a specific type (string with name of the tag-- "div", "p", et cetera), an associative array of properties, and a list of children.
See mk.addProperties() and mk.addChildren() for how to format these two
respective parameters.
Will return a DOM node, which can then be appended to the tree.
mk.addChildren(elem, children)
This function will add children nodes to an element. Children can be any of:
- A DOM element (added as you would expect)
- A String (which is used to create a text node, and then added)
- An array containing any allowed types (each are added separately)
- A function that returns any allowed types
These can be nested arbitrarily deep.
mk.addProperties(elem, properties)
Takes an associative array (properties), and applies each value to elem.
If one of the values is itself an associative array, it will recurse in.
For example;
mk.addProperties(elem, {id:'element', style:{color:'red'}});
Is equivilant to
elem.id = 'element';
elem.style.color = 'red';
mk.add(elem, child)
This is just another way to call elem.appendChild(child).
