jQuery-eGen

A simple jQuery plugin for generating element by a query string.

jQuery-eGen is inspired by Slim.

Installation

Include eGen script after the jQuery library.

<script src="your/js/path/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="your/js/path/jquery.egen.min.js"></script>

Or, include it in your script package.

Usage

Create simple div element:

div = $.egen();
<div></div>

Create element with id or classes:

icon = $.egen('i.fa.fa-spinner.fa-spin#waitIcon');
<i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin" id="waitIcon"></i>

Create paragraph element with alignment, and append to body:

$('body').egen('p', { align: 'center' }, 'welcome to eGen!');
<body>
  <!-- nodes.. -->
  <p align="center">welcome&nbsp;to&nbsp;eGen!</p>
</body>

Create nested element:

warnText = $.egen('p.warn b i', { align: 'center' }, 'Bold and Italic');
<p class="warn" align="center"><b><i>Bold&nbsp;and&nbsp;Italic</i></b></p>
