• Testing/Demo Fiddle (also included in /examples)
• Another testing demo or here

Contents

• Logging: Safe console.log wrapper with debugmode toggling. Inspired by Paul Irish.
• Inheritance: Object-oriented "macros" for class definition (Define) and inheritance (Inherits). Inspired by this and that
• Templating: simple Moustache-style template helper.
• jQuery Plugins:
  • $each: "fixes" .each so that this (and param) are jQuery, not DOM elements
  • createNestedDom: utility to construct multi-level DOM items for testing (particularly for selector performance tests)
  • getSelector: builds list of DOM elements in inheritance chain; includes tag, id, class
  • getTextSize: calculate width or height of the text within one or more elements -- specifically useful for calculating when to increase the dimensions of an input box during typing
  • hasTriggers: make it so one button can trigger behaviors on multiple targets -- specifically useful for having a 'show/hide all' button to activate a bunch of bootstrap toggles
  • listEvents: get all bound events (jQ 1.8+)
  • triggerAny: filter namespaced triggers, like .custom1 to fire click.custom1 and change.custom1
