Extension-include.js

Some general motha fuckin functions for extension development, TOTALLY undocumented because it's for muah until you message me!

Methods

• getId, getClass, and getTag

  simple wrappers on getElementbyId, getElementsByClassName, and getElementsByTagName

• GET, POST

  GET('url', function(responseText, fullXhr){ });

  POST('url', function(responseText, fullXhr){ }, 'param1=foo');

• log, warn, error

  Simple wrappers on console.log, console.warn, console.error

• fail

  Alerts and throws an error message: fail('some shit happened!');

• trackEvent

  Simple wrapper on analytics tracking, adjust to your own analytics system. Right now it's opinionated to KissMetrics

• String.contains

  Coming in EcmaScript 6!!!

  var string = 'https://github.com';

  string.contains('https') === true

• storageDefault, Default localStorage items:

  storageDefault('thing', 'bar');

  This only writes the value to localStorage if the key is currently not defined.

• createElement

  Lightly enhanced wrapper on document.createElement, simply accepts additional arguments for more easily setting properties, and attributes:

var div = createElement('div', {

      innerHTML: 'foo', 
      id: 'bar'
  }, {

      'explicitly-an-attribute': 'baz'
  });

• runInPage

  This is only relevant for chrome extensions, feel free to strip it out.

  This method simply runs some javascript functions or strings of code in the context of the page's dom, outside of Chrome's isolated world

  runInPage('//these comments screw things up because... '+ 'evenThisFunctionCallIsCommentedOut();');

  runInPage(function(){ /*this is better*/ });

And last but not least:

nodeReady

It's too awesome to document here, go learn about it at the above link.
