lodash.dom-traverse

tiny (1.28kb min, gzip) lodash extension for dom traversing (for those cases where native dom is not so easy to use):

_.$(selector, context); //get element(s)

_.$(selector, context).find(selector); //traverses down

_.$(selector, context).filter(selector); //filter by selector
_.$(selector, context).filter(function () {}); //filter with function

_.$(selector, context).siblings(); //get siblings

_.$(selector, context).next();  //get next
_.$(selector, context).prev();  //get previous
_.$(selector, context).nextAll();  //get all next
_.$(selector, context).prevAll();  //get all previous

_.$(selector, context).text(); //get text for element(s)
_.$(selector, context).text(string); //set text

_.$(selector, context).is(selector); //check if matches selector

_.$(selector, context).closest(selector); //traverses up

_.$(selector, context).css({}); //sets styles
_.$(selector, context).css(string); //returns style

easy to chain

_.$('table td').filter(_.$.simpleOdd).css({'background-color': 'rgb(0, 0, 0)'}).text()
