TinyJS

TinyJS is a lightweight JavaScript library for dynamically creating HTML elements with deep property assignment. It simplifies DOM manipulation by allowing you to generate any standard HTML tag programmatically, apply properties, append content, and select DOM elements with ease.

Features

Dynamically create HTML elements: Generate any standard HTML tag with ease.
Deep property assignment: Supports nested property structures for complex elements.
Simplified content appending: Accepts strings or elements as child content.
DOM element selection: Use $ and $$() to select elements from the DOM.

How It Works

TinyJS attaches functions for each HTML tag (like div, span, a, etc.) to the global window object. You can create elements by simply calling the tag name as a function, passing in optional properties and child elements.

Additionally, TinyJS introduces two new helper functions:

$: A wrapper around document.querySelector, simplifying DOM element selection.
Example:
```
const post = $('#post_1'); // Selects the element with id 'post_1'
```

$$(): A wrapper around document.querySelectorAll that returns an array of DOM elements, allowing for easy iteration.
Example:

const items = $$('.item'); // Selects all elements with class 'item'
items.forEach(item => {
  console.log(item);
});

Example

const myDiv = div(
  {id: 'container', className: 'my-class'}, 
  h1('Hello World'), 
  p('This is a dynamically generated paragraph.')
);

document.body.appendChild(myDiv);

In this example, the div, h1, and p elements are created dynamically with their attributes and content specified as arguments.

Usage

Include the tiny.js script in your project.
Use any valid HTML tag as a function to create elements, assign properties, and append children.
Use $ to select a single DOM element and $$() for multiple elements.
Append the created elements to the DOM.

Installation

Simply include the tiny.js file in your project:

<script src="tiny.js"></script>

Advanced Example

You can deeply assign properties to elements:

const styledButton = button(
  {style: {backgroundColor: 'blue', color: 'white'}, onclick: () => alert('you clicked me')}, 
  'Click Me!'
);

document.body.appendChild(styledButton);

In this example, the button element is styled directly using the style property.

Supported Tags

TinyJS supports a wide range of HTML tags, including:

Basic text elements: p, span, strong, em, etc.
Interactive elements: button, input, select, etc.
Media elements: img, audio, video, etc.
Container elements: div, section, article, footer, etc.
