super-classy v1.0.0

super-classy

A JS superclass with embedded utilities. Intended for projects where I would rather not have to rely on jquery or _

Extending it to add utilities and events to a class

function YourClass() { SuperClass.apply(this, arguments); }

Creating an instance to use as a standalone set of utilities

var superClassy = new SuperClassy();

Main interface methods

• on(event name string), subscriber options (object) : Subscribes to an event
• once : Same as above but only fires once and unsubscribes
• fire(event name string), caller options (object) : Fires an event

Client Utilities (instance.utils)

• get(selector string, root object optional) : Gets a DOM element by selector. Returns a node-list even if only one element is found
• debounce(callback (function), wait (number in milliseconds), immediate (bool)) : Throttles calls for a specified number of milliseconds and fires the last requested
• request(uri (a URI for an API endpoint on the same domain or with propper CORS headers set), callback (function)) : An XHR wrapper
• parentHasClass(starting (element), className (class name to find), depth (how far should this function look)) : Looks in the passed element and it's parents for the class passed. Returns the element found with that class
• append(rootNode (element), html (string)) : appends HTML to an element
