Keep It Simple JS Library

A Minimal, Modular Javascript library for Modern browsers.

Aims to be fast, small, and easily split into individual modules.

You can create your own library by adding and removing modules from the src directory, and running the "combine.php" script. This will output a "kis-custom.js" file. (Be careful, as the script will overwrite any "kis-custom.js" file that already exists).

Browser support: IE8+, Latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera

Basic Use:

• Function: $_(selector).module.function(params);

Official Modules:

• Set: This function will set the hash url if browser doesn't have history.pushState Use: $_.qs.set(key, value);

• Get: Retrieves the value of the key in the url string Use: $_.qs.get(key);

functions:

• Get: Use: $_.store.get(key);

• Set Use: $_.store.set(key, value);

• getALL: Retreives all localstorage data in raw form Use: $_.store.getAll();

Event: wrapper for applying events to DOM objects
