Bonzo

A library agnostic extensible DOM utility. Nothing else.

Bonzo is designed to live in any host library, such as Ender, or simply as a stand-alone tool for the majority of your DOM-related tasks.

It looks like this:

bonzo(elements)
  .hide()
  .addClass('foo')
  .append('<p>the happs</p>')
  .css({
    color: 'red',
    'background-color': 'white'
  })
  .show()

Use with a selector engine

A great way to use Bonzo is with a selector engine, like Qwery. You could wrap Bonzo up and augment your wrapper to inherit the same methods:

function $(selector) {
  return bonzo(qwery(selector));
}

This now allows you to write the following code:

$('#content a[rel~="bookmark"]').after('√').css('text-decoration', 'none');

Bonzo extension API

One of the greatest parts about Bonzo is its simplicity to hook into the internal chain to create custom methods. For example you can create a method called color() like this:

bonzo.aug({
  color: function (c) {
    return this.css('color', c);
  }
})

// you can now do the following
$('p').color('aqua')

Setting a query engine host

bonzo(bonzo.create('<div>')).insertAfter('.boosh a')

Contributing

You should only edit the files in the src/ directory. Bonzo is compiled into the bonzo.js and bonzo.min.js files contained in the root directory by the build command:

Building

$ npm install
$ make

Tests

Point your test browser(s) to tests/tests.html, or:

$ open tests/tests.html

Please try to include tests or adjustments to existing tests with all non-trivial contributions.

Browser support

• IE6+
• Chrome
• Safari 4+
• Firefox 3.5+

Ender integration

Bonzo is a registered npm package and fits in nicely with the Ender framework. If you don't have Ender, you should install now, and never look back, ever. As a side note the query engine host is set for you when you include it with Ender.

$ npm install ender -g

To combine Bonzo to your Ender build, you can add it as such:

$ ender build bonzo[ package-b[ package-c ...]]

or, add it to your existing ender package

$ ender add bonzo

Bonzo is included in The Jeesh, Ender's "starter-pack", when you ender build jeesh you'll get Bonzo and some other amazing libraries that'll make working in the browser a breeze. See the Ender documentation for more details.
