Overview

The dom pod provides a framework for interoperating with the browser DOM and related browser APIs. For the most part, these map one-to-one:

Browser           Fantom
--------------    ---------------
Window            Win
Document          Doc
Element           Elem
Event             Event
XmlHttpRequest    HttpReq/HttpRes

Win

// basics
win := Win.cur       // get current Win instance
win.alert("Hello!")  // display a modal dialog
win.uri              // the URI for this page
win.hyperlink(uri)   // hyperlink to new page
win.viewport         // get size of window viewport

// event handlers
win.onEvent("hashchange", false) |e| { Win.cur.alert("hashchanged!") }

// storage
win.localStorage["bar"]         // return value for bar from local storage
win.localStorage["foo"] = 25    // store foo:25 in local storage
win.localStorage.remove("foo")  // remove foo from local storage
win.localStorage.clear          // clear all contents from local storage

Doc

doc := Win.cur.doc                // get doc instance for this window
doc.elem("someId")                // return the Elem with id='someId'
doc.createElem("div")             // create a new <div> element
doc.querySelector("div.foo")      // find first <div> element where class='foo'
doc.querySelectorAll("div.bar")   // find all <div> elements where class='bar'

Elem

// create Elems
Elem("div")   // create new unattached <div> element
Elem("img")   // create new unattached <img> element

// attributes
elem.id                          // 'id' attribute
elem.tagName                     // tag name of this element
elem.attr("alt")                 // get an attribute value
elem.setAttr("alt", "Alt text")  // set an attribute value
elem.removeAttr("alt")           // remove an attribute
elem["alt"]                      // get operator is a convenience for elem.attr
elem["alt"] = "Alt text"         // set operator is a convenience for elem.setAttr

// properties
elem.prop("value")               // get a DOM property value
elem.setProp("value", "foo")     // set a DOM property value
elem->value                      // trap getter is a convenience for elem.prop
elem->value = "foo"              // trap setter is a convenience for elem.setProp

// CSS classes
elem.style.classes               // return the current class name(s)
elem.style.hasClass("alpha")     // does this element have the given class name?
elem.style.addClass("beta")      // add a new class name to any current class names
elem.style.removeClass("gamma")  // remove a class name, leaving any others remaining
elem.style.toggleClass("beta")   // add class if not present, or remove if already exists

// CSS properties
elem.style["background-color"] = "#f00"  // set style background-color: #f00
elem.style->backgroundColor = "#f00"     // set style background-color: #f00
elem.style["color"]                      // get color property value
elem.style->color                        // get color property value
elem.style.computed("color")             // get the computed color property value
elem.style.setAll(["color":"#f00", "background:"#eee"])  // set list of style properties
elem.style.setCss("color: #f00; background: #eee")       // set style with CSS grammar

// tree
elem.parent             // parent element
elem.prevSibling        // prev sibling
elem.nextSibling        // next sibling
elem.children           // List of child elements
elem.firstChild         // first child, or null if no children
elem.lastChild          // last child, or null if no children
elem.add(child)         // add a new child element
elem.remove(child)      // remove a child element

// forms
elem->name              // the 'name' attribute
elem->checked           // true/false for checkboxes
elem->checked = true    // set 'checked' attribute
elem->value             // the 'value' attribute
elem->value = "foo"     // set 'value' attribute

// position and size
elem.bounds             // pos and size of element
elem.pos                // pos of element in pixels
elem.size               // size of element in pixels
elem.scrollPos          // scroll pos of element
elem.scrollSize         // scroll size of elemen

// event handlers
elem.focus              // focus element
elem.onEvent("click", false) |e| { Win.cur.alert("$e.target clicked!") }

// query
elem.querySelector("img")                  // find first <img> descendant
elem.querySelectorAll("img")               // find all <img> descendants
elem.querySelector("input[name='email']")  // find the <input> where name is "email"

// animation

XmlHttpRequest

The HttpReq object is used to make background HTTP requests from the browser. For both sync and async requests, the response is passed to you in the callback closure:

HttpReq { uri=`/foo` }.send("POST", "some content") |res|
{
  Win.cur.alert(res.content)
}

Convenience methods are availabe for the common request methods:

HttpReq { uri=`/foo` }.get |res| {...}
HttpReq { uri=`/foo` }.post("some content") |res| {...}
HttpReq { uri=`/foo` }.postForm(["name":"Barney Stinson"]) |res| {...}

The postForm will automatically encode the request to look like a normal HTML form submission.

Observers

ResizeObserver provides a callback when the size of a given element or list of elements is modified:

ResizeObserver {
  it.observe(elem)
  it.onResize |e| { echo("new size: ${e.first.size}") }
}
