It provides a singleton instance that manages all the utilities. ```typescript import { DomTools } from '@design.estate/dees-domtools'; // Setup with options const domtools = await DomTools.setupDomTools({ ignoreGlobal: false // Set to true to create isolated instance }); // Access DOM elements (available after domReady) await domtools.domReady.promise; const head = domtools.elements.headElement; const body = domtools.elements.bodyElement; ``` **Key Properties:** - `domtools.router` - SmartRouter instance for client-side routing - `domtools.themeManager` - Theme management (dark/light mode) - `domtools.scroller` - Smooth scrolling utilities - `domtools.keyboard` - Keyboard event handling - `domtools.websetup` - Website metadata management - `domtools.smartstate` - State management - `domtools.deesComms` - Communication utilities **Lifecycle Promises:** - `domtools.domToolsReady.promise` - Resolves when DomTools is initialized - `domtools.domReady.promise` - Resolves when DOM is interactive/complete - `domtools.globalStylesReady.promise` - Resolves when global styles are set ### Responsive Breakpoints Built-in breakpoint system with both media queries and container queries: ```typescript import { breakpoints, css } from '@design.estate/dees-domtools'; import { css as litCss } from 'lit'; // Breakpoint values (in pixels) breakpoints.desktop // 1600px breakpoints.notebook // 1240px breakpoints.tablet // 1024px breakpoints.phablet // 600px breakpoints.phone // 400px // Use with Lit components const myStyles = litCss` .container { padding: 20px; } ${breakpoints.cssForTablet(litCss` .container { padding: 10px; } `)} ${breakpoints.cssForPhone(litCss` .container { padding: 5px; } `)} `; ``` Available breakpoint helpers: - `cssForDesktop(css)` - Styles for 1600px and above - `cssForNotebook(css)` - Styles for 1240px and below - `cssForTablet(css)` - Styles for 1024px and below - `cssForPhablet(css)` - Styles for 600px and below - `cssForPhone(css)` - Styles for 400px and below ### Theme Management Automatic theme detection with system preference support: ```typescript const domtools = await DomTools.setupDomTools(); const { themeManager } = domtools; // Toggle between dark and light themeManager.toggleDarkBright(); // Set specific theme themeManager.goDark(); themeManager.goBright(); // Enable automatic global background changes await themeManager.enableAutomaticGlobalThemeChange(); // Subscribe to theme changes themeManager.themeObservable.subscribe((isBright) => { console.log(`Theme is now: ${isBright ? 'light' : 'dark'}`); }); // Check current theme if (themeManager.goBrightBoolean) { console.log('Light mode active'); } ``` ### Keyboard Shortcuts Handle keyboard events with ease, including complex combinations: ```typescript import { Keyboard, Key } from '@design.estate/dees-domtools'; const domtools = await DomTools.setupDomTools(); await domtools.domReady.promise; // Access the keyboard instance const { keyboard } = domtools; // Listen for Ctrl+S keyboard.on([Key.Ctrl, Key.S]).subscribe((event) => { event.preventDefault(); console.log('Save triggered!'); }); // Listen for Ctrl+Shift+P keyboard.on([Key.Ctrl, Key.Shift, Key.P]).subscribe(() => { console.log('Command palette opened!'); }); // Programmatically trigger key presses keyboard.triggerKeyPress([Key.Ctrl, Key.S]); // Clean up when done keyboard.stopListening(); ``` **Available Keys:** All standard keyboard keys are available in the `Key` enum, including: - Modifiers: `Ctrl`, `Shift`, `Alt` - Letters: `A` through `Z` - Numbers: `Zero` through `Nine` - Function keys: `F1` through `F12` - Navigation: `Home`, `End`, `PageUp`, `PageDown`, arrows - And many more... ### Smooth Scrolling Powerful scrolling utilities with Lenis integration: ```typescript const domtools = await DomTools.setupDomTools(); const { scroller } = domtools; // Scroll to an element smoothly const targetElement = document.querySelector('#section-2'); await scroller.toElement(targetElement, { duration: 1000, easing: 'easeInOutQuad' }); // Enable Lenis smooth scrolling await scroller.enableLenisScroll({ disableOnNativeSmoothScroll: true // Auto-disable if browser has native smooth scroll }); // Register scroll callbacks scroller.onScroll(() => { console.log('Page scrolled!'); }); // Detect if native smooth scrolling is enabled const hasNativeSmooth = await scroller.detectNativeSmoothScroll(); ``` ### CSS Utilities Helper functions for common CSS patterns: ```typescript import { css } from '@design.estate/dees-domtools'; // Create responsive grid columns const gridTemplate = css.cssGridColumns(4, 16); // Returns: calc((100%/4) - (48px/4)) calc((100%/4) - (48px/4)) ... // Use in your styles const styles = ` .grid { display: grid; grid-template-columns: ${gridTemplate}; gap: 16px; } `; ``` ### Global Styles & External Resources ```typescript const domtools = await DomTools.setupDomTools(); // Add global CSS await domtools.setGlobalStyles(` body { margin: 0; font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif; } `); // Load external CSS await domtools.setExternalCss('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;600;700&display=swap'); // Load external JavaScript await domtools.setExternalScript('https://cdn.example.com/analytics.js'); ``` ### Website Metadata Manage your website's metadata easily: ```typescript const domtools = await DomTools.setupDomTools(); await domtools.setWebsiteInfo({ metaObject: { title: 'My Awesome App', description: 'The best app ever created', keywords: ['awesome', 'app', 'web'], author: 'Your Name' }, faviconUrl: '/favicon.ico', appleTouchIconUrl: '/apple-touch-icon.png' }); ``` ### Web Component Base Styles Kickstart your Lit elements with pre-configured styles: ```typescript import { LitElement } from 'lit'; import { elementBasic } from '@design.estate/dees-domtools'; class MyElement extends LitElement { static styles = [elementBasic.staticStyles]; async connectedCallback() { super.connectedCallback(); await elementBasic.setup(this); } } ``` The `elementBasic.staticStyles` includes: - Box-sizing reset - Smooth transitions for background and color - Custom scrollbar styles - Default font family (Geist Sans, Inter fallback) ### State Management Integrated state management with smartstate: ```typescript const domtools = await DomTools.setupDomTools(); // Access the state part const state = domtools.domToolsStatePart; // Get current state const currentState = state.getState(); console.log(currentState.virtualViewport); // 'native' console.log(currentState.jwt); // null // Update state state.setState({ virtualViewport: 'tablet', jwt: 'your-token-here' }); // Subscribe to state changes state.subscribe((newState) => { console.log('State updated:', newState); }); ``` ### Run Once Pattern Execute expensive operations only once, even if called multiple times: ```typescript const domtools = await DomTools.setupDomTools(); // This will only execute once, even if called multiple times const result = await domtools.runOnce('myExpensiveOperation', async () => { console.log('Running expensive operation...'); await someExpensiveAsyncOperation(); return 'result'; }); // Subsequent calls return the same result without re-executing const sameResult = await domtools.runOnce('myExpensiveOperation', async () => { console.log('This will never run!'); return 'different result'; }); console.log(result === sameResult); // true ``` Error handling is built-in - if the function throws, all waiting callers receive the same error. ## Advanced Usage ### Combining Features Here's a real-world example combining multiple features: ```typescript import { DomTools, breakpoints, elementBasic, Key } from '@design.estate/dees-domtools'; import { LitElement, html, css as litCss } from 'lit'; import { customElement } from 'lit/decorators.js'; @customElement('my-app') class MyApp extends LitElement { static styles = [ elementBasic.staticStyles, litCss` :host { display: block; padding: 2rem; } ${breakpoints.cssForTablet(litCss` :host { padding: 1rem; } `)} ` ]; private domtools?: DomTools; async connectedCallback() { super.connectedCallback(); // Setup DomTools this.domtools = await elementBasic.setup(this); await this.domtools.domReady.promise; // Setup keyboard shortcuts this.domtools.keyboard.on([Key.Ctrl, Key.K]).subscribe(() => { this.openCommandPalette(); }); // Subscribe to theme changes this.domtools.themeManager.themeObservable.subscribe((isBright) => { this.requestUpdate(); }); // Enable smooth scrolling await this.domtools.scroller.enableLenisScroll({ disableOnNativeSmoothScroll: true }); } private openCommandPalette() { console.log('Command palette opened!'); } render() { const isDark = !this.domtools?.themeManager.goBrightBoolean; return html`
