Learning Javascript: What is the DOM API? and How to use it?

Javascript Tutorial for Beginners
When you decide to learn Javascript, you must understand about DOM.
Because…
One of the main tasks of Javascript on the web is to make web pages look dynamic.
This can be done by Javascript with the help of DOM.
What is the DOM API?
... and how do you use it?
Let's discuss ...

What is the DOM API?

DOM stands for Document Object Model .
That is, documents (HTML) are modeled in an object.
The object of this document provides a set of functions and attributes / data that we can use to create a Javascript program. This is what is called the API (Application Programming Interface) .
DOM Javascript and HTML
The DOM is not just for HTML documents. DOM can also be used for XML and SVG documents.
... and DOM is not only in Javascript, but also in other programming languages.

How to use DOM?

As we already know, DOM is an object to model HTML documents.
DOM object in javascript named documentThis object contains everything we need to manipulate HTML.
If we try to type documentin the Javascript console , the HTML code will appear.
Document object in the console
Inside the object document, there are functions and attributes that we can use to manipulate HTML documents.
For example a function documen.write().
This function is used to write something to an HTML document.
Example:
Try typing the following code in the Javascript consoel .
document.write("Hello World");
document.write("<h2>Saya Sedang Belajar Javascript</h2>");
The result:
Write function in Javascript
Write function in Javascript
Look!
The results will directly impact the HTML document.

Accessing Certain Elements with DOM

The object documentis a model of an HTML document. This object contains a collection of functions and attributes in the form of objects from HTML elements that can be described in the form of trees like this:
HTML DOM object
This tree structure will make it easier for us to use certain elements.
Let's try to access the object <head>and <body>.
Try typing the following code in the Console:
// mengakses objek head
document.head;

// mengakses objek body
document.body;

// melihat panakang judul pada objek title
document.title.length
The result:
Access the head and body objects
If we want to access specific elements, there are several functions that can be used:
  • getElementById()function for selecting elements based on attributes id.
  • getElementByName()function for selecting elements based on attributes name.
  • getElementByClassName()function for selecting elements based on attributes class.
  • getElementByTagName() function for selecting elements based on tag names.
  • getElementByTagNameNS() function for selecting elements based on tag names.
  • querySelector() function for selecting elements based on queries.
  • querySelectorAll() function for selecting elements based on queries.
  • and others.
The above functions are often used to access certain elements.
Example:
Suppose we have an HTML code like this:
<div id="tutorial"></div>
So to choose these elements in Javascript, we can use functions getElementByI()like this:
// memilih elemen dengan id 'tutorial'
var tutorial = document.getElementById('tutorial');
The variable tutorialwill be a DOM object from the element we choose.
A more complete example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Memilih Elemen Berdasarkan ID</title>
</head>
<body>

    <!-- Elemen div yang akan kita pilih dari JS -->
    <div id="tutorial"></div>


    <script type="text/javascript">
        // mengakses elemen tutorial
        var tutorial = document.getElementById("tutorial");

        // mengisi teks ke dalam elemen
        tutorial.innerText = "Tutorial Javascript";

        // memberikan CSS ke elemen
        tutorial.style.backgroundColor = "gold";
        tutorial.style.padding = "10px";

    </script>

</body>
</html>
The result:
The results of the javascript DOM tutorial example
In the example above, we select elements with functions document.getElementById()Then create an object for that element. After that, we can do whatever you want like changing the text and CSS style.
Then the question:
What if there is more than one element selected?
Suppose we choose an element based on the name tag or class attribute.
The answer:
The eelemn to be selected will be an array. Because we choose a set of elements.
The array will contain DOM objects from selected elements.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>DOM API Javascript</title>
</head>

<body>

    <p class="paragraf">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit.
        Quo quaerat recusandae qui ullam eaque cumque ea fugit,
        debitis commodi ipsum illo dolorum consequatur sed laudantium suscipit quis magni,
        maiores in?</p>

    <p class="paragraf">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit.
        Quo quaerat recusandae qui ullam eaque cumque ea fugit,
        debitis commodi ipsum illo dolorum consequatur sed laudantium suscipit quis magni,
        maiores in?</p>

    <p class="paragraf">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit.
        Quo quaerat recusandae qui ullam eaque cumque ea fugit,
        debitis commodi ipsum illo dolorum consequatur sed laudantium suscipit quis magni,
        maiores in?</p>


    <script>
        var paragraf = document.getElementsByClassName("paragraf");
        console.log(paragraf);
    </script>

</body>

</html>
In the example above, we have three paragraphs with the class name paragraf.
Then we try to select the three paragraphs through javascript with the method or function getElementByClassName().
Then, the results are displayed in the Javascript console .
Then the result:
Take several elements at once
The variable paragrafwill contain an array in which there are three DOM objects from the paragraph.
Let's try experimenting by changing the color of the text from the first paragraph.
The first paragraph will be in the index position 0in the array.
Try typing the following command in the Javascript console :
paragraf[0].style.color = "red"
So the result, the first paragraph will be red.
Change the color of the first paragraph
Let's try to create a color animation.
Change the above javascript code to something like this:
 <script>
    var paragraf = document.getElementsByClassName("paragraf");
    setInterval(function () {
        paragraf[0].style.color = "red";
        paragraf[1].style.color = "green";
        paragraf[2].style.color = "blue";

        setTimeout(function () {
            paragraf[0].style.color = "black";
            paragraf[1].style.color = "black";
            paragraf[2].style.color = "black";
        }, 500)
    }, 1000);
</script>
We use functions setInterval()and functions setTimeOut() to determine the animation time.
In the above code, we give milliseconds or 1 second time interval1000 .
Meanwhile, to change the color to black, we give a 500millisecond or 0.5 seconds.
Then the result:
Animation with javascript

Creating Elements with the DOM API

DOM also provides functions to create HTML elements.
One of them is a function createElement().
Example:
document.createElement('p');
Then, a <p>new element will be created But it will not be displayed on a web page.
Why isn't it displayed?
Because we haven't added it to the body of the document.
How to add it to the body of the document, we can use the function append().
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>DOM API Javascript</title>
</head>

<body>

    <script>
        // membuat element h1
        var judul = document.createElement("h1");
        
        // mengisi kontent elemen
        judul.textContent = "Belajar Javascript";

        // menambahkan elemen ke dalam tag body
        document.body.append(judul);
    </script>

</body>
</html>
The result:
Creating HTML elements with DOM

Removing Elements with DOM API

If we used the function append()to add elements, then to delete it we use the function remove().
The following is an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>DOM API Javascript</title>
</head>

<body>

    <h2 id="judul2">Delete Saya!</h2>

    <script>
        // memilih elemen berdasarkan ID
        var h2 = document.getElementById('judul2');

        // menghapus elemen yang sudah dipilih
        h2.remove();

        console.log("Elemen sudah dihapus");
        console.log(h2);
    </script>

</body>
</html>
The price:
Remove elements with DOM
The element is successfully deleted from the web page, but the element is still in memory.

Examples of Programs Using DOM

We already know how to access elements with DOM and we also understand how to add and delete elements.
To make the understanding more stable, try the following example program:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>DOM API Javascript</title>
</head>

<body>

    <h1>Aplikasi Ubah Warna</h1>
    <label>Warna latar: </label>
    <input type="color" id="bg-color" />
    <br>
    <label>Warna teks: </label>
    <input type="color" id="text-color" />

    <script>
        var bgColor = document.getElementById('bg-color');
        var txtColor = document.getElementById('text-color');

        bgColor.addEventListener("change", (event) => {
            document.body.style.backgroundColor = bgColor.value;
        });

        txtColor.addEventListener("change", (event) => {
            document.body.style.color = txtColor.value;
        });
    </script>

</body>
</html>
This program functions to change the background color of the element <body>and change the color of the text.
We use events "change"on elements bgColor and txtColorThis means that later each value of this element changes, the code in it will be executed.
The result:
The application changes color with Javascript
