Get the value of an element's attribute.

Parameters:

static getAttributes(tag) → {Object}

utils/dom.js, line 398

Get an element's attribute values, as defined on the HTML tag.

Attributes are not the same as properties. They're defined on the tag or with setAttribute.

Object -

All attributes of the element. Boolean attributes will be true or false, others will be strings.

static getBoundingClientRect(el) → {Object|undefined}

utils/dom.js, line 512

Identical to the native getBoundingClientRect function, but ensures that the method is supported at all (it is in all browsers we claim to support) and that the element is in the DOM before continuing.

This wrapper function also shims properties which are not provided by some older browsers (namely, IE8).

Additionally, some browsers do not support adding properties to a ClientRect/DOMRect object; so, we shallow-copy it with the standard properties (except x and y which are not widely supported). This helps avoid implementations where keys are non-enumerable.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
el	Element	Element whose ClientRect we want to calculate.

Returns:

Object | undefined -

Always returns a plain object - or undefined if it cannot.

static getPointerPosition(el, event) → {module:dom~Coordinates}

Returns:

module:dom~Coordinates -

A coordinates object corresponding to the mouse position.

static hasClass(element, classToCheck) → {boolean}

utils/dom.js, line 239

Will be true if the element has a class, false otherwise.

static insertContent(el, content) → {Element}

utils/dom.js, line 785

Normalizes and inserts content into an element; this is identical to appendContent(), except it empties the element first.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description

boolean -

Will be true if the value is a text node, false otherwise.

static normalizeContent(content) → {Array}

utils/dom.js, line 727

Normalizes content for eventual insertion into the DOM.

This allows a wide range of content definition methods, but helps protect from falling into the trap of simply writing to innerHTML, which could be an XSS concern.

The content for an element can be passed in multiple types and combinations, whose behavior is as follows:

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description

Type Definitions

ContentDescriptor()

utils/dom.js, line 695

This is a mixed value that describes content to be injected into the DOM via some method. It can be of the following types:

Type	Description
string	The value will be normalized into a text node.
Element	The value will be accepted as-is.
TextNode	The value will be accepted as-is.
Array	A one-dimensional array of strings, elements, text nodes, or functions. These functions should return a string, element, or text node (any other return value, like an array, will be ignored).
Function	A function, which is expected to return a string, element, text node, or array - any of the other possible values described above. This means that a content descriptor could be a function that returns an array of functions, but those second-level functions must return strings, elements, or text nodes.

Coordinates

utils/dom.js, line 589

Represents x and y coordinates for a DOM element or mouse pointer.

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
x	number	x coordinate in pixels
y	number	y coordinate in pixels

Position

utils/dom.js, line 535

Represents the position of a DOM element on the page.

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
left	number	Pixels to the left.
top	number	Pixels from the top.

PredicateCallback(element, classToToggle) → {boolean|undefined}

utils/dom.js, line 302

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
element	Element	The DOM element of the Component.
classToToggle	string	The className that wants to be toggled

Returns:

boolean | undefined -

If true is returned, the classToToggle will be added to the element. If false, the classToToggle will be removed from the element. If undefined, the callback will be ignored.
