class-tools - Swap CSS classes

Manipulate classes of an element (e.g. for CSS transitions)

The class-tools extension allows you to specify CSS classes that will be swapped onto or off of the elements by using a classes or data-classes attribute. This functionality allows you to apply CSS Transitions to your HTML without resorting to javascript.

A classes attribute value consists of "runs", which are separated by an & character. All class operations within a given run will be applied sequentially, with the delay specified.

Within a run, a , character separates distinct class operations.

A class operation is an operation name add, remove, or toggle, followed by a CSS class name, optionally followed by a colon : and a time delay.

Out-of-band class manipulation

There is also the option to use apply-parent-classes, or data-apply-parent-classes, which take the same format as classes but is instead designed for out-of-band updates, allowing you to manipulate CSS classes of an existing element in the DOM without otherwise knowing or altering its state.

Any element with this property will schedule classes to be applied to its parent element, removing itself afterwards, so it should ideally be used as part of an hx-swap-oob="beforeend: #some-element" to add them to the end of the target element.

Install

<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/class-tools.js"></script>

Usage

<!-- The following DOM has classes swapped in and out as scheduled -->
<div hx-ext="class-tools">
    <div classes="add foo"/> <!-- adds the class "foo" after 100ms -->
    <div class="bar" classes="remove bar:1s"/> <!-- removes the class "bar" after 1s -->
    <div class="bar" classes="remove bar:1s, add foo:1s"/> <!-- removes the class "bar" after 1s
                                                                then adds the class "foo" 1s after that -->
    <div class="bar" classes="remove bar:1s & add foo:1s"/> <!-- removes the class "bar" and adds
                                                                 class "foo" after 1s  -->
    <div classes="toggle foo:1s"/> <!-- toggles the class "foo" every 1s -->
</div>

<!-- The following OOB update surgically applies CSS classes to "my-element" -->
<div hx-swap-oob="beforeend: #my-element">
    <div hx-ext="class-tools"
         apply-parent-classes="add foo, remove foo:10s"/> <!-- adds the class "foo" to "my-element" for 10s -->
</div>
