Fast and lightweight JSON to DOM generation in less than 60 lines.
- Do not like
<html> - Do not want heavy templating system
- Love javascript
- Want performance
- Are tired of document.createElement
Here is toDOM :
var scope = {};
var el = toDOM({
attr : { className : 'my_class' },
events : {
click : function() {
console.log('div clicked');
},
},
children : [
{
tag : 'p',
label : 'myParagraph',
innerHTML : 'Hello',
style : {
backgroundColor : '#000'
}
}
]
}, scope);
document.body.appendChild(el);Will create the following :
<body>
<div class="my_class">
<p style="background-color:#000">
Hello
</p>
</div>
</body>With a console.log on click and a reference of the <p> DOM element in scope :
scope.myParagraph // domElement
scope.myParagraph.innerHTML // 'Hello'var View = function(o) {
if (o.domDescription) {
this.buildEl(o.domDescription);
}
};
View.prototype = {
buildEl : function(domDescription) {
this.el = toDOM(domDescription, this);
}
}
var myView = new View({
domDescription : {
tag : 'p',
children : [
{
label : 'helloEl',
innerHTML : 'hello!'
}
]
}
});
myView.el // DOM element
myView.helloEl // DOM element
myView.helloEl.innerHTML // 'hello!'- Default tag is 'div'
## Install ##
toDOM is coded as AMD module but can be installed with npm, bower or old-fashioned src=".min.js".
npm install todom
and use it with nodejs:
var toDOM = require('todom')
bower install toDOM
Point toDOM to [bower_components_path]/toDOM/app/toDOM.js into your requirejs path config
and load it with requirejs:
require(['toDOM/toDOM'], function( toDOM ){
})Inside the dist folder, download latest standalone minified version or development version and include it in your html page:
<script src="[path_to_source]/toDOM-latest-standalone-min.js%>"></script>The module is available via the scope

Run grunt test:browser and open test/ on your browser.
#### On a headless browser ####
grunt test:headless will run your tests in a headless browser, with phantomjs and mocha
grunt test:node will run your tests with node and mocha.
Because of requirejs, the mocha command does not work.
This project uses Node.js, Grunt and Require.js for the build process. If for some reason you need to build a custom version install Node.js, npm install and run:
grunt build
