The Benefits of Vanilla JavaScript WordCamp Sacramento 2017 1 (for
the jQuery Developer)
Hi, I’m Nate
I have a confession
I ♥ jQuery
but… sometimes I use it as a crutch
jQuery is awesome!
What do I mean by Vanilla JavaScript?
Why should I even learn Vanilla JavaScript?
Because Matt said so…
Knowing jQuery != Knowing JavaScript
Performance
operations/second Vanilla document.getElementById( ‘app’ ); 12,137,211 jQuery $( ‘#app’ )
350,557 http://vanilla-js.com/
One less dependency to load in the browser
The Future
jQuery Browser Support 1.12.4 (WordPress) - Support for IE6+ 15
3.2.1 (Current) - Support for IE9+
Fancy Frameworks and Libraries
You Might Not Need jQuery…
How Can I Start?
DOM
Selecting DOM Elements $( ‘.some-selector #here’ )
Selecting DOM Elements document.getElementById() document.querySelector() document.querySelectorAll() - Get one element
by ID selector - Get one element by CSS-like selector - Get all elements by CSS-like selector
Selecting DOM Elements document.getElementsByClassName() document.getElementsByName() document.getElementsByTagName() - Get all elements
by class selector - Get all elements by name attribute - Get all elements by HTML tag
Creating DOM Elements document.createElement() element.cloneNode() element.appendChild() - Create an element
by passing it an HTML tag - Clone an element - Append a child
More DOM Topics Traversing the DOM Form Manipulation Styles element.parentNode.firstChild
getSiblings( element ) element.value element.style.backgroundColor = ‘red’
Events
addEventListener Similar to .on(), .click(), etc. in jQuery element.addEventListener( ‘click’,
function() { // Do something } );
AJAX
XMLHttpRequest (XHR) is UGLY
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.onreadystatechange = function() { if
( xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200 ) { // Do something } } xhr.open( ‘GET’, ‘/wp-json/wp/v2/posts’, true ); xhr.send();
Fetch API Supported in major browsers, but no IE11 davidwalsh.name/fetch
fetch( '/wp-json/wp/v2/posts', { method: ‘GET' } ) .then( function( response ) { // Do something } ) .catch( function( error ) { // Do something } );
