The primary entry points into DOM are document.query() and document.queryAll(). Both take a CSS selector as the argument. The former returns a single matching element; the latter returns a list of all matching elements. Here are some simple examples:
dom/finding.dart | |
| document.query('h1'); // => First <h1> in the document |
| document.query('#people-list'); // => Element with id of 'people-list' |
| document.query('.active'); // => First element with 'active' class |
| document.queryAll('h2'); // => All <h2> elements |
The query and queryAll methods are actually methods of the Element class. Document, like every other class representing a bit of the DOM, subclasses Element. In practice, this means we can limit queries to a specific element by first finding the element and then querying from it.
| var list = document.query('ul#people-list'); |
| var last_person = list.query(':last-child'); |
| last_person.innerHtml; |
| // => 'Lucy' |
Or we can chain it:
| document. |
| query('ul#people-list'). |
| query(':last-child'). |
| innerHtml; |
| // => 'Lucy' |
The bottom line with finding elements on a page in Dart is that query and queryAll do pretty much what you expect, making it easy to query the DOM.
