Description
dom-helpers is a tiny, modular JavaScript library of DOM utilities, kept by the React Bootstrap project. It wraps common DOM tasks such as adding event listeners, reading computed styles, measuring offsets and scroll positions, and toggling classes, behind one consistent interface, so you don't have to rewrite the same browser checks in every project. It is mostly thin wrappers around browser inconsistencies, taken in part from jQuery, without the size of jQuery. Each helper can be imported on its own, so you only ship what you use. It expects a few ES5 features to be present.…
