    Study Notes

    DOM Manipulation

    What is DOM Manipulation?

    • The process of dynamically updating the contents of a web page by modifying the Document Object Model (DOM) of an HTML document.
    • Involves adding, removing, and modifying elements, attributes, and styles to create a dynamic user experience.

    Why is DOM Manipulation important?

    • Enables dynamic and interactive web pages that respond to user interactions.
    • Allows for efficient updating of web pages without requiring full page reloads.
    • Essential for building modern web applications and single-page applications (SPAs).

    DOM Manipulation Methods

    Creating Elements
    • document.createElement(tagName): Creates a new element with the specified tag name.
    • element.cloneNode(): Clones an existing element.
    Removing Elements
    • element.parentNode.removeChild(element): Removes an element from the DOM.
    • element.remove(): Removes an element from the DOM (available in modern browsers).
    Modifying Elements
    • element.setAttribute(name, value): Sets an attribute on an element.
    • element.getAttribute(name): Retrieves an attribute value from an element.
    • element.style.property = value: Sets a CSS style property on an element.
    • element.className = value: Sets the CSS class of an element.
    Traversing the DOM
    • element.parentNode: Retrieves the parent element of an element.
    • element.childNodes: Retrieves a collection of child elements.
    • element.querySelector(selector): Retrieves the first element that matches a CSS selector.
    • element.querySelectorAll(selector): Retrieves a collection of elements that match a CSS selector.
    Events and Listeners
    • element.addEventListener(event, handler): Attaches an event listener to an element.
    • element.removeEventListener(event, handler): Removes an event listener from an element.

    Best Practices

    • Minimize DOM manipulation to improve performance and reduce page reflows.
    • Use caching and batching to reduce the number of DOM updates.
    • Leverage virtual DOM libraries (e.g., React, Vue) to optimize DOM manipulation.
    • Avoid using document.write() and instead use innerHTML or outerHTML to update element content.

    DOM Manipulation

    • DOM manipulation is the process of dynamically updating the Document Object Model (DOM) of an HTML document to change its structure or content.
    • It's necessary to create interactive web pages that respond to user input or changes in data.
    • Methods of DOM manipulation include:
      • Using innerHTML to set or retrieve the HTML content of an element.
      • Using getElementById() to retrieve an element by its ID.
      • Using getElementsByTagName() to retrieve a collection of elements by their tag name.
      • Using appendChild() to add a new element to an existing element.
      • Using removeChild() to remove an element from an existing element.
    • Frequent DOM manipulation can lead to slow performance, so it's essential to optimize code.
    • Browser compatibility is also a consideration, as different browsers may have varying levels of support for DOM manipulation methods.

    CSS Preprocessors

    • CSS preprocessors are tools that allow you to write CSS using programming language constructs, which are then compiled into regular CSS.
    • Popular CSS preprocessors include Sass and Less.
    • Features of CSS preprocessors include:
      • Variables, which allow you to store and reuse values throughout your CSS code.
      • Nesting, which enables you to write more concise and organized CSS code.
      • Mixins, which allow you to reuse blocks of CSS code.
      • Functions, which enable you to perform calculations and manipulate values.
    • Benefits of using CSS preprocessors include:
      • Faster development, as you can write more efficient and concise CSS code.
      • Easier maintenance, as you can update values in one place and have them reflected throughout your code.

    HTML

    • HTML is the HyperText Markup Language, used to create structured content on the web.
    • The basic HTML structure consists of:
      • A DOCTYPE declaration, which specifies the document type and version.
      • An HTML element, which is the root element of the document.
      • A HEAD element, which contains metadata about the document.
      • A BODY element, which contains the content of the document.
    • HTML elements include:
      • Semantic elements, which convey meaning to search engines and screen readers (e.g., , , ``, etc.).
      • Non-semantic elements, which do not convey meaning, used for styling and layout (e.g., <div>, <span>, etc.).
    • HTML attributes include:
      • Global attributes, which can be used on any HTML element (e.g., id, class, style, etc.).
      • Element-specific attributes, which are only applicable to specific HTML elements (e.g., src for the `` element).
