There is now:
.match() .matchAll()
... per some discussion on #webapi. Thanks for your feedback.
as per later discussion on #webapi, please change these names, .match is too similar to match in ES, and I would expect it to take a regular expression (perfectly reasonable to run a regular expression over a DOM).
Fair enough, here are the requirements for the name:
* short * simple
Why are these requirements for the name, no other DOM names are short and simple, they're clear and unambiguous, I'd say they were the requirements. If people want to use shorter names they understand in their closed world the $x() approach is perfectly simple for them (although discouraged by ECMA of course).
Also it's very odd to have .match() return only the first of something, it should return all of them, like everywhere else the name is used to avoid confusion (I'm not sure of the use case of just matching one anyway, please provide - if it's scripting performance, let's have a limit on the general case, because I often only what the first 4 things as much as only 1, gEBI covers the 1 case...)
The reason is performance.
Then one 1 method with an optional limit is ,uch better, it optimises for all situations when the author knows how many they're interested in, rather than 1 special case. I don't see why the 1 case is that much more special than the N case - as I say gEBI meets most of the 1 cases.
Mainly these names say nothing about their inescapable link to Selectors, they should.
What would be the reason for that?
The understandability - if you're not going to link the names to the function, then .a() .b() etc. is the way to go, as it's very short, and very simple.
Jim.
