addClass(e: Element, className: string): void
Adds a class to an element.
Element that will have the class added.
Class (or space-separated list of classes) to add to the element.
animate(apply: IAnimateCallback, duration?: number, step?: number): any
Calls a function on a timer with a parameter varying between zero and one.
Use this function to create animations by modifying document properties or styles on a timer.
For example, the code below changes the opacity of an element from zero to one in one second:
import { animate } from '@mescius/wijmo';
const element = document.getElementById('someElement');
animate(pct => {
element.style.opacity = pct;
}, 1000);
The function returns an interval ID that you can use to stop the animation. This is typically done when you are starting a new animation and wish to suspend other on-going animations on the same element. For example, the code below keeps track of the interval ID and clears if before starting a new animation:
import { animate } from '@mescius/wijmo';
const element = document.getElementById('someElement');
if (this._animInterval) {
clearInterval(this._animInterval);
}
this._animInterval = animate(pct => {
element.style.opacity = pct;
if (pct == 1) {
self._animInterval = null;
}
}, 1000);
Callback function that modifies the document. The function takes a single parameter that represents a percentage.
The duration of the animation, in milliseconds.
The interval between animation frames, in milliseconds.

escapeHtml(text: string): string

Strings entered by users should always be escaped before they are displayed in HTML pages. This helps ensure page integrity and prevent HTML/javascript injection attacks.
Text to escape.
escapeRegExp(text: string): string
Escapes a string by prefixing special regular expression characters with backslashes.
Text to escape.
evalTemplate(template: string, ctx?: any): string
Evaluates a string in template literal notation.
This function allows you to evaluate template literals on-demand, rather than when they are declared.
The template string uses the standard template literal syntax, except it is a regular string (enclosed in single or double quotes) rather than a template literal (enclosed in back-quotes).
The template string may contain references to variables provided in a context object passed as a parameter.
The template string may contain formatting information as used with the glbz tag function.
For example:
import { evalTemplate } from '@mescius/wijmo';
const msg = evalTemplate('hello ${user}, want some ${Math.PI}:n2?', { user: 'Chris' }));
console.log(msg);
> hello Chris, want some 3.14?
String in template literal notation.
Object with properties acessible to the template.
format(format: string, data: any, formatFunction?: Function): string
Replaces each format item in a specified string with the text equivalent of an object's value.
The function works by replacing parts of the formatString with the pattern '{name:format}' with properties of the data parameter. For example:
import { format } from '@mescius/wijmo';
let data = { name: 'Joe', amount: 123456 },
msg = format('Hello {name}, you won {amount:n2}!', data);
The format function supports pluralization. If the format string is a JSON-encoded object with 'count' and 'when' properties, the method uses the 'count' parameter of the data object to select the appropriate format from the 'when' property. For example:
import { format } from '@mescius/wijmo';
fmtObj fmt = {
count: 'count',
when: {
0: 'No items selected.',
1: 'One item is selected.',
2: 'A pair is selected.',
'other': '{count:n0} items are selected.'
}
};
let fmt = JSON.stringify(fmtObj);
console.log(format(fmt, { count: 0 })); // No items selected.
console.log(format(fmt, { count: 1 })); // One item is selected.
console.log(format(fmt, { count: 2 })); // A pair is selected.
console.log(format(fmt, { count: 12 })); // 12 items are selected.
The optional formatFunction allows you to customize the content by providing context-sensitive formatting. If provided, the format function gets called for each format element and gets passed the data object, the parameter name, the format, and the value; it should return an output string. For example:
import { format, isString, escapeHtml } from '@mescius/wijmo';
let data = { name: 'Joe', amount: 123456 },
msg = format('Hello {name}, you won {amount:n2}!', data,
(data, name, fmt, val) => {
if (isString(data[name])) {
val = escapeHtml(data[name]);
}
return val;
}
);

getTypes(arr: any[], limit?: number): IBindingInfo[]

Tag function for use with template literals.
The glbz tag function allows you to specify formatting for variables in template literal expressions.

For example:
import { glbz } from '@mescius/wijmo';
let num = 42,
dt = new Date(),
msg = glbz`the number is ${num}:n2, and the date is ${dt}:'MMM d, yyyy'!`;
