domali v2.1.1

Alias Library for the DOM API

The goal of domali is to provide a more readable DOM API while keeping the core functionality intact. You can use all of the native JavaScript DOM functions and objects with domali.

Usage

import dom from 'domali'

const [ foo, bar, baz ] = dom.getId('foo', 'bar', 'baz')

console.log(foo, bar, baz)

Install domali with npm npm install --save domali

Or install domali with jspm jspm install domali

Load domali through a module loader for the browser. Popular choices for module loading include webpack, jspm, and browserify. Destructuring requires ES6.
