WIP

A small set of functions for pseudo-class-like logic logic in JavaScript. I'm using it with React and inline-styles in mind. I don't see why you couldn't use it elsewhere.

Why?

These are pretty simple expressions. I see this being more useful as a resource than a library. Cheat-sheets are boring. This is living.

Usage in React

In React render function, it can be used like so:

{this.props.item.map((item, i, arr) => {
  return (
    <li style={Object.assign{
     {},
     lastChild(i,arr): { backgroundColor: "#eee" }
    }}>
      {item}
    </li>
  );
})};

If you're not familiar with Object.assign, it's just a way of merging objects from right to left. _.extend could serve the same purpose.

Capabilities

This is a map of pseudo-classes to available functions.

item

:first-child         firstChild(i)
:last-child          lastChild(i, arr)

:only-child          onlyChild(i, arr)

:nth-child(even)     evenChildren(i)
:nth-child(odd)      oddChildren(i)

:nth-child(n)        nthChild(n, i)
:nth-last-child(n)   nthLastChild(n, i, arr)

:nth-child(-n+3)     firstChildren(n, i)

collection

:empty               empty(arr)

Why not use the same names?

:nth-child is a pretty overloaded selector. I really don't want to get into parsing.

Is this exhaustive?

Nope. I've added those most common me. Happy to add more if useful.
