What this is

Universal Element Accept (uea) allows you to accept a range of different inputs as HTML elements.

It accepts query selector strings, arrays, NodeLists and more (check out usage) and always returns either an array with HTMLElements or a single element, depending on the function you use.

Install

NPM:

npm install @compactjs/uea

CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@compactjs/uea/dist/index.umd.js"></script>

Usage

As module:

import { select, selectOne } from '@compactjs/uea';

Example:

// select multiple elements
select('.my-classes');
select(document.getElementById('my-id'));
select(document.forms);

// or only select a single element
selectOne('.my-classes');
selectOne(document.getElementById('my-id'));

Check out the demo and the examples file for more examples.

Doc:

/**

/**
 * Use a range of different ways to select an HTMLElement.
 * Always returns a single HTMLElement.
 */
export function selectOne(selector: string | HTMLElement): HTMLElement | null;
