    Voyeur

    Voyeur is a tiny (1.2kb) Javascript library that lets you traverse and manipulate the DOM the way it should have been. See here for a demo, more information and documentation.

    Warning

    Voyeur is a great concept but I highly recommend you avoid it in production. There is serious performance issues yet to be worked out. See here.

    Example

    <body>
        <div>
            <header>
                <h1 id="title"><em><a href="/">Hello world!</a></em></h1>
            </header>
            <section>
                <ul>
                    <li class="item"><a href="#">Navigation Item</a></li>
                    <li class="item"><a href="#">Navigation Item</a></li>
                    <li class="item"><a href="#">Navigation Item</a></li>
                    <li class="item"><a href="#">Navigation Item</a></li>
                    <li class="item"><a href="#">Navigation Item</a></li>
                </ul>
            </section>
        </div>
    </body>
    
    //Lets get the title link
    Voyeur.div.header.h1.em.a.href = "http://google.com"
    Voyeur.find("#title").em.a.innerText = "New title!";
    
    //Let's get those navigation items
    Voyeur.div.section.ul.li.use(function(li, i) {
        li.a.innerText = "Link #" + i;
    });
    
    Voyeur.div.section.ul.li.eq(3).classList.add("Highlighted!");
    
    //How about we create some content
    var content = Voyeur.create.div
        .section.mult(5).p.em.use(function(em) {
            em.textContext = "Hello world!";
        });
    
    Voyeur.div.appendChild(content);
    

    Usage

    Install via bower (courtesy of @pid)

    bower install Voyeur
    

    Install via component

    component install dunxrion/voyeur.js
    

    Include the script somewhere on the page.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="Voyeur.min.js"></script>
    

    Outside

    Voyeur has managed to inspire a couple of other spin-off projects.
