compifly v1.0.3

compifly

A Front-end library for creating dynamic html elements on the fly. Its makes it easy to create dynamic elements coupled with data(e.g, data coming from the database).

Installation

Using npm

  npm install compifly --save

You can also check it out on NPM

Usage

Require compifly

  var compifly = require("complify");
  
  // extract component constructor
  var Component = compifly.Component;

Instantiating a component (creating an element)

  // creating a paragraph tag on the fly
  
  var paragraph = new Component({
    type: "p",
    innerText: "Hey Compifly",
    style: {
      "background-color": "#bbb",
      "padding": "24px",
      "color": "white"
    }
  })

The Component constructor takes one argument which is an object. For now, the object only takes 3 properties:

• type - this is the type of element you want to create
• innerText - this is the innerHTML of the created element

• style - this is an object that contains the styles to be applied to the created element. PS: the properties and property values should all be in double quotes

  Appending the created element to its parent

  Now that we have instantiated the component, the component will be automatically generated; but the element wont be visible in the html file until we append it to an existing element in the html.

  For example, we are going to append the created element to the body tag.

   paragraph.append(document.body);

  The append() method appends the created element to the specified element in the argument PS: this takes only one element

  How did you find the library? feel free to drop suggestions and complains. More features coming soon.
