Most of us are familiar with jquery and probably quite a few of us are familiar with the Chrome console's $
and $$
shorthands for query selectors. I recently figured out a way to replicate these shorthands in my code, using Document.querySelector()
, Document.querySelectorAll()
and Function.prototype.bind()
. Here's how to do it, just make sure you don't mix them up with jquery if you are still using it:
const $ = document.querySelector.bind(document);
const $$ = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document);
const mainContent = $('.main-content');
const externalLinks = $$('a[target="_blank"]');
