- No dependecy
- jQuery-like API
- Event-based
- Easy to use
Mickey.js has a jQuery-like chained API. Mickey uses document.querySelectorAll() to parse selectors, so you have to separate selectors with commas, take a look:
Mickey('button, .s').blink(200);
Here is a list of Mickey's functions:
Mickey( selector )
Needs an argument selector which is one or more CSS Selector(s) or an HTML Element Object.
.blink( delay, cursor )
Has two optional arguments delay and cursor. The cursor blinks with a delay, if you wan't to specify the cursor to be blinked, add cursor.
Defaults values:
delay = 300
cursor = 'default'
.timeout( cursor, delay, revert )
Has three optional arguments cursor, delay and revert. The current cursor changes to cursor after a delay, if revert is not null or undefined, the cursor changes back to what it was.
Default values:
cursor = 'pointer'
delay = 300
revert = undefined
.interval( from, to, delay )
Has one optional argument delay and two must-be-specified arguments from and to. The cursor changes from from to to with a delay and repeats.
Default values:
delay = 300
.shadow( x, y, color, delay, effect, className )
Has 6 optional arguments x, y, color, delay, effect and id. Adds a shadow to cursor, placed at right-bottom of the cursor, x and y are relative positions to shadow's place and cannot be less than 0, color specifies shadow's color and delay specifies the delay that shadow has to answer to mouse's move, effect specifies if an effect should be used or not and className specifies the class attribute gave to the shadow.
Default values:
x = 0
y = 0
color = 'black'
delay = 0
className = undefined
.text( text, styles, x, y, effect, className )
Has 5 optional arguments styles, x, y, effect and className and a must-be-specified argument text. Adds a text that follows the cursor at it's right-bottom corner by default, relative position of text can be changed using x and y, CSS styles of the text can be specified using an object of styles as styles argument, can have different effects and the text's class attribute is specified using className argument.
Defaullt values:
styles = undefined
x = 0
y = 0
effect = undefined
className = undefined
Built-in effects available:
heartbeat
.image( src, styles, x, y, effect, className )
Same as .text( .. ), with a different of src instead of text.
Default values:
styles = undefined
x = 0
y = 0
effect = undefined
className = undefined
.chase()
Has no arguments. Calling this function forces scrolls to chase the mouse.
.absolute()
Has no argument, returns an object of mouse's current position with two properties top and left.
.relative()
Has no argument, returns an object of mouse's current position, relative to selector defined in Mickey( .. ) with two properties top and left.
.hover( function )
Needs a function as first argument to be called on mouseover event.
.click( function )
Needs a function as first argument to be called on click event.
We made it easy to make effects for Mickey.
All you have to do is to make a function and assign it to Mickey.effects object that has 3 properties text,shadow and image, your function takes the target element as an argument, for example, text effects, take the span element as their argument.
Effects should be in an external file and placed in /effects folder.
Example:
Mickey.effects.text.youreffectname = function( el ) {
// Your effect's code
};
That's all, Mickey loops over effects and tries to find the effect that user has called.
Third-party effects:
none yet :(
Mickey has a long way to go, but these spotted bugs are in priority:
