Utility methods

Ojay has a handful of utility functions that don’t really fit into any of its specific modules and are available through the Ojay namespace.

Available methods

  • Ojay.byId(id) – can be used to grab an Ojay collection by ID in situations where your page contains IDs that will trip up the CSS interpreter. For example: 
        var myElement = Ojay.byId('site:model.user.email');
  • Ojay.getDocumentSize() – returns an object with width and height properties representing the size of the document.
  • Ojay.getScrollOffsets() – returns an object with left and top properties that represent the current scroll state of the page.
  • Ojay.getViewportSize() – returns an object with width and height properties representing the size of the visible area of the document within the window.
