    Class JJDF<T>

    Wraps a DocumentFragment (which is a descendant of Node).

    DocumentFragments are lightweight versions of Document that store a segment of a document structure comprised of nodes just like a standard document. The key difference is that because the document fragment isn't part of the active document tree structure, changes made to the fragment don't affect the document, cause reflow, or incur any performance impact that can occur when changes are made.

    const doc = JJD.from(document)
    const frag = JJDF.create()
    frag.addChild(
      JJHE.tree('div', null, 'Item 1'),
      JJHE.tree('div', null, 'Item 2'),
    )
    doc.body.addChild(frag)

        The DocumentFragment instance to wrap.

      Returns JJDF<T>

      If ref is not a DocumentFragment.

    Accessors

    • get children(): Wrapped[]

      Gets the child nodes wrapped in the most specific JJ wrappers available.

      Returns Wrapped[]

      The wrapped child nodes.

      Returns an empty array when this node has no children.

      const el = JJHE.create('div').addChild('hello', JJHE.create('span'))
      const children = el.children // [JJT, JJHE]

      Node.childNodes

    • get parent(): Wrapped | null

      Gets the parent node wrapped in the most specific JJ wrapper available.

      Returns Wrapped | null

      The wrapped parent node, or null if this node has no parent.

      Returns null when this node is detached and therefore has no parent.

      const text = JJT.create('hello')
      JJHE.create('div').addChild(text)
      const parent = text.parent // JJHE

      Node.parentNode

    • get ref(): T

      Gets the underlying DOM object.

      Returns T

      run for fluent callbacks that can also access this same wrapped target.

      This method is overridden in JJT to append to the existing text content instead.

      el.addText('Hello ')
      el.addText('World')
      // Behaves like document.createTextNode('Hello World') and appends it to el
      // Falsy values are converted to their string representation, except for empty string which is added as is.
      el.addText('Hello', '', 'world', null, undefined, '!!!') // Adds 6 text nodes with content 'Hello', '', 'world', 'null', 'undefined', and '!!!' respectively.

        })
        .trigger(new Event('ready'))

      Use this to make synchronous adjustments while staying in a fluent chain. The callback return value is ignored. If you want to access the current JJ* instance using this, use a function rather than an arrow function.

      • ref for direct access to the wrapped native target.
      • on for event listener chaining.
      • trigger for dispatching events in-chain.

    • Replaces the existing children of an Element with new children.

      • ...children: Wrappable[]

        The children to replace with.

      Returns this

      This instance for chaining.

      If no children are provided, it empties the Element. To make template codes easier, this function ignores nullish children (null and undefined). Other non-node values are coerced into Text nodes.

        The children to replace with.

      Returns this

      This instance for chaining.

      This is the array-based companion to setChild. Passing an empty array empties the Element. To make template codes easier, this function ignores nullish children (null and undefined). Other non-node values are coerced into Text nodes.

      el.setChildren([JJHE.tree('p', null, 'New Content')])

      If children is not an array of Wrappable.

    • Clones and sets template-like input as the only children of this node.

      Parameters

        The template source to clone and set.

      Returns this

      This instance for chaining.

      Supports HTML strings, native template sources, native Nodes, and any JJ wrapper via JJN. Wrapper inputs are unwrapped and cloned before set.

      el.setTemplate('<p>New Content</p>')
      • addTemplate
      • empty for clearing children without adding a replacement template.

    • Dispatches an Event at the specified EventTarget.

      Parameters

      Parameters

      • eventName: string

        The event type name.

      • Optionaldetail: T

        Optional payload exposed as event.detail.

      • Optionaloptions: Omit<CustomEventInit<T>, "detail">

        Additional CustomEvent options excluding detail.

      Returns this

      This instance for chaining.

      This is a convenience wrapper around trigger for the common case of dispatching a payload-bearing custom event.

      The created event defaults to bubbles: true and composed: true. Pass options to override those defaults.

      If eventName is not a string.

      JJET.from(window).triggerCustomEvent('panel-ready', { id: '123' })

      JJET.from(this).triggerCustomEvent('todo-toggle', {
          id: '123',
          done: true,
      })

      CustomEvent()

    • Creates a JJDF instance from a DocumentFragment reference.

      Parameters

      • ref: DocumentFragment

        The DocumentFragment instance.

      Returns JJDF

      A new JJDF instance.

      Use JJDF.create to create a new empty DocumentFragment. For other Node types, use JJN.from or the specific wrapper type.

      const frag = JJDF.from(myFrag)

      DocumentFragment

    • Checks if a value can be passed to the wrap() or unwrap() function.

      Parameters

      • x: unknown

        an unknown value

      Returns x is Wrappable

      true if x is a string, Node (or its descendent), JJN (or its descendent)

      This is useful for filtering the array that is passed to append(), prepend() or setChildren(). See Wrappable type for the full definition.

      • JJN.wrap for converting Wrappable into wrappers.
      • JJN.unwrap for converting Wrappable into native nodes.

    • Extracts the underlying native DOM node from a wrapper.

      Parameters

      Returns Unwrapped

      The underlying DOM node.

      If the input is already a native Node, it is returned as is. If the input is a JJ wrapper, its underlying node is returned. Otherwise, the input is coerced into a Text node. Plain objects are stringified with JSON when possible, and fall back to String(...).

      const rawElement = JJN.unwrap(myJJHE) // Returns HTMLElement

    • Unwraps an iterable object (e.g. an array or HTMLCollection).

      Parameters

      • iterable: Iterable<Wrappable>

        The iterable to unwrap.

      Returns Unwrapped[]

      An array of native DOM nodes.

      const nodes = JJN.unwrapAll(wrappedList)

    • Wraps a native DOM node or string into the most specific JJ wrapper available.

      Parameters

      • raw: Wrappable

        The object to wrap. If it's already Wrapped, it'll be returned without any change. We don't double-wrap or clone it.

      Returns Wrapped

      The most granular Wrapped subclass instance. If the input is already wrapped, it'll be returned as is without cloning.

      This factory function acts as an intelligent wrapper, inspecting the input type and returning the appropriate subclass of JJN (e.g., JJHE for HTMLElement, JJT for Text, JJSE for SVGElement, etc.). Strings are automatically converted to Text nodes wrapped in JJT.

      If the input is already a JJ wrapper, it is returned unchanged (no double-wrapping). See the full implementation in src/wrappers/JJN.ts which extends this with support for internal wrapper types.

      const bodyWrapper = JJN.wrap(document.body) // Returns JJHE<HTMLBodyElement>
      const textWrapper = JJN.wrap('Hello') // Returns JJT wrapping a new Text node
      const existing = JJN.wrap(alreadyWrapped) // Returns alreadyWrapped unchanged

    • Wraps an iterable object (e.g. an array of wrapped or DOM elements).

      Parameters

      • iterable: Iterable<Wrappable>

        The iterable to wrap.

      Returns Wrapped[]

      An array of wrapped instances.

      const wrappedList = JJN.wrapAll(document.querySelectorAll('div'))
