Lightweight querySelector/All wrapper that outputs an Array

Version 7+ only supports browsers with iterable NodeLists. If you need IE support, stick to select-dom@6 or lower.

npm install select-dom

// This module is only offered as a ES Module
import select from 'select-dom';

Note: if a falsy value is passed as baseElement, you'll always get an empty result (bd578b9)

Maps to baseElement.querySelector(selector), except it returns undefined if it's not found

select('.foo a[href=bar]');
// => <Element>

select('.foo a[href=bar]', baseElement);
// => <Element>

select('.non-existent', baseElement);
// => undefined

Like select(), except that it returns the last matching item on the page instead of the first one.

Tests the existence of one or more elements matching the selector. It's like select(), except it returns a boolean.

select.exists('.foo a[href=bar]');
// => true/false

select.exists('.foo a[href=bar]', baseElement);
// => true/false

Maps to baseElements.querySelectorAll(selector) plus:

• it always returns an array
• baseElements can be a list of elements to query

select.all('.foo');
// => [<Element>, <Element>, <Element>]

select.all('.foo', baseElement);
// => [<Element>, <Element>, <Element>]

select.all('.foo', [baseElement1, baseElement2]);
// => [<Element>, <Element>, <Element>]
// This is similar to jQuery([baseElement1, baseElement2]).find('.foo')
