Methods

static addClass(element, …classesToAdd) → {Element}

utils/dom.js, line 232

Add a class name to an element.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes	Description
element	Element		Element to add class name to.
classesToAdd	string	<repeatable>	One or more class name to add.

Returns:

Element -

The DOM element with the added class name.

static appendContent(el, content) → {Element}

utils/dom.js, line 708

Normalizes and appends content to an element.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
el	Element	Element to append normalized content to.
content	module:dom~ContentDescriptor	A content descriptor value.

Returns:

Element -

static blockTextSelection()

utils/dom.js, line 418

Attempt to block the ability to select text.

static computedStyle(el, prop)

utils/dom.js, line 839

A safe getComputedStyle.

This is needed because in Firefox, if the player is loaded in an iframe with display:none, then getComputedStyle returns null, so, we do a null-check to make sure that the player doesn't break in these cases.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
el	Element	The element you want the computed style of
prop	string	The property name you want

static findPosition(el) → {module:dom~module:dom~Position}

utils/dom.js, line 501

Get the position of an element in the DOM.

Uses getBoundingClientRect technique from John Resig.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
el	Element	Element from which to get offset.

Returns:

module:dom~module:dom~Position -

static getAttributes(tag) → {Object}

utils/dom.js, line 339

Get an element's attribute values, as defined on the HTML tag.

Attributes are not the same as properties. They're defined on the tag or with setAttribute.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
tag	Element	Element from which to get tag attributes.

Returns:

Object -

All attributes of the element. Boolean attributes will be true or false, others will be strings.

static getBoundingClientRect(el) → {Object|undefined}

utils/dom.js, line 453

Identical to the native getBoundingClientRect function, but ensures that the method is supported at all (it is in all browsers we claim to support) and that the element is in the DOM before continuing.

This wrapper function also shims properties which are not provided by some older browsers (namely, IE8).

Additionally, some browsers do not support adding properties to a ClientRect/DOMRect object; so, we shallow-copy it with the standard properties (except x and y which are not widely supported). This helps avoid implementations where keys are non-enumerable.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
el	Element	Element whose ClientRect we want to calculate.

Returns:

Object | undefined -

Always returns a plain object - or undefined if it cannot.

static getPointerPosition(el, event) → {module:dom~module:dom~Coordinates}

utils/dom.js, line 557

Get the pointer position within an element.

The base on the coordinates are the bottom left of the element.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
el	Element	Element on which to get the pointer position on.
event	Event	Event object.

Returns:

module:dom~module:dom~Coordinates -

A coordinates object corresponding to the mouse position.

static hasClass(element, classToCheck) → {boolean}

utils/dom.js, line 214

Check if an element has a class name.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description

Type

Error

Returns:

boolean -

Will be true if the element has a class, false otherwise.

static insertContent(el, content) → {Element}

utils/dom.js, line 726

Normalizes and inserts content into an element; this is identical to appendContent(), except it empties the element first.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
el	Element	Element to insert normalized content into.
content	module:dom~ContentDescriptor	A content descriptor value.

Returns:

Element -

The element with inserted normalized content.

Returns:

boolean -

Will be true if the value is a text node, false otherwise.

static normalizeContent(content) → {Array}

utils/dom.js, line 668

Normalizes content for eventual insertion into the DOM.

This allows a wide range of content definition methods, but helps protect from falling into the trap of simply writing to innerHTML, which could be an XSS concern.

The content for an element can be passed in multiple types and combinations, whose behavior is as follows:

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
content	module:dom~ContentDescriptor	A content descriptor value.

Type Definitions

ContentDescriptor()

utils/dom.js, line 636

This is a mixed value that describes content to be injected into the DOM via some method. It can be of the following types:

Type	Description
string	The value will be normalized into a text node.
Element	The value will be accepted as-is.
Text	A TextNode. The value will be accepted as-is.
Array	A one-dimensional array of strings, elements, text nodes, or functions. These functions should return a string, element, or text node (any other return value, like an array, will be ignored).
Function	A function, which is expected to return a string, element, text node, or array - any of the other possible values described above. This means that a content descriptor could be a function that returns an array of functions, but those second-level functions must return strings, elements, or text nodes.

Coordinates

utils/dom.js, line 530

Represents x and y coordinates for a DOM element or mouse pointer.

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
x	number	x coordinate in pixels
y	number	y coordinate in pixels

Position

utils/dom.js, line 476

Represents the position of a DOM element on the page.

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
left	number	Pixels to the left.
top	number	Pixels from the top.

PredicateCallback(element, classToToggle) → {boolean|undefined}

Name	Type	Description
element	Element	The DOM element of the Component.
classToToggle	string	The className that wants to be toggled

Returns:

boolean | undefined -

If true is returned, the classToToggle will be added to the element. If false, the classToToggle will be removed from the element. If undefined, the callback will be ignored.
