The jQuery to JavaScript Converter is a powerful tool designed to help developers seamlessly transition from jQuery to vanilla JavaScript by automatically identifying jQuery methods in existing projects and generating corresponding pure JavaScript alternatives.

Why You Should Use It

Many projects utilize only a small subset of jQuery methods—often just 15% to 30%—which can lead to unnecessary dependencies and bloat. This tool helps you eliminate jQuery while retaining the functionality you need. It intelligently scans your JavaScript files, identifies jQuery methods, and replaces them with readable and maintainable vanilla JavaScript counterparts, saving you time and effort in the process.

Key Features

• Automatic Conversion: The converter intelligently finds jQuery methods and generates equivalent vanilla JS alternatives, reducing the need for manual rewrites.
• Chainable Methods: The utility functions maintain the chainable nature found in jQuery, making them easy to integrate into your existing codebase.
• Dependency Handling: Automatically includes necessary methods as dependencies, so each generated function works correctly in context.

Basic Concepts

The generated vanilla JavaScript methods are chainable and can be applied to a set of matched elements similar to jQuery. Here’s a snippet demonstrating the basic usage:

export class Utils {
  constructor(selector) {
    this.elements = Utils.getSelector(selector);
    this.element = this.get(0);
    return this;
  }
  // other methods...
}

export default function $utils(selector) {
  return new Utils(selector);
}

Usage Example

An example use case:

<ul>
  <li class="jquery">jQuery</li>
  <li class="react">React</li>
  <li class="vue">Vue.js</li>
  <li class="angular">Angular</li>
  <li class="lit">Lit</li>
</ul>

$utils(".vue").siblings().addClass("highlight");

Demo Example

List of Supported Methods

The converter supports numerous jQuery methods, such as:

• addClass: Adds one or more classes to the matched elements.
• append: Inserts content at the end of each matched element.
• attr: Gets or sets attributes on the matched elements.
• each: Iterates over matched elements, executing a function for each.

Compatibility

The jQuery to JavaScript Converter is designed to support modern browsers, including Internet Explorer 11 and above.
