THIS IS MY FIRST TRY ON MAKING SOMETHING, REALLY, IGNORE IT. 💩

Mouses are smarter these days! A handy tool that makes it easy to play with mouses. Mickey is still a work in progress, so it might have many issues, we'll be glad if you report them. View examples here: Mickey.js

• No dependecy
• jQuery-like API
• Event-based
• Easy to use

Mickey.js has a jQuery-like chained API. Mickey uses document.querySelectorAll() to parse selectors, so you have to separate selectors with commas, take a look:

Mickey('button, .s').blink(200);

Here is a list of Mickey's functions:

Mickey( selector )

Needs an argument selector which is one or more CSS Selector(s) or an HTML Element Object.

.blink( delay, cursor )

Has two optional arguments delay and cursor. The cursor blinks with a delay, if you want to specify the cursor to be blinked, add cursor.

Defaults values:

delay = 300
cursor = 'default'

.timeout( cursor, delay, revert )

Has three optional arguments cursor, delay and revert. The current cursor changes to cursor after a delay, if revert is not null or undefined, the cursor changes back to what it was.

Default values:

cursor = 'pointer'
delay = 300
revert = undefined

.interval( from, to, delay )

Has one optional argument delay and two must-be-specified arguments from and to. The cursor changes from from to to with a delay and repeats.

Default values:

delay = 300

.shadow( x, y, color, delay, effect, className )

Has 6 optional arguments x, y, color, delay, effect and id. Adds a shadow to cursor, placed at right-bottom of the cursor, x and y are relative positions to shadow's place and cannot be less than 0, color specifies shadow's color and delay specifies the delay that shadow has to answer to mouse's move, effect is an object containing effect's info^[effects], and className specifies the class attribute gave to the shadow.

Default values:

x = 0
y = 0
color = 'black'
delay = 0
className = undefined

Effects

.text( text, styles, x, y, effect, className )

Has 5 optional arguments styles, x, y, effect and className and a must-be-specified argument text. Adds a text that follows the cursor at it's right-bottom corner by default, relative position of text can be changed using x and y, CSS styles of the text can be specified using an object of styles as styles argument, can have different effects^[effects] and the text's class attribute is specified using className argument.

Defaullt values:

styles = undefined
x = 0
y = 0
effect = undefined
className = undefined

Built-in effects available:

heartbeat

Effects

.image( src, styles, x, y, effect, className )

Same as .text( .. ), with a difference of src instead of text.

Default values:

styles = undefined
x = 0
y = 0
effect = undefined
className = undefined

Built-in effects available:

spin

Effects

.chase()

Has no arguments. Calling this function forces scrolls to chase the mouse.

.absolute()

Has no argument, returns an object of mouse's current position with two properties top and left.

.relative()

Has no argument, returns an object of mouse's current position, relative to selector defined in Mickey( .. ) with two properties top and left.

.hover( function )

Needs a function as first argument to be called on mouseover event.

.click( function )

Needs a function as first argument to be called on click event.

.remove( object )

Needs an object as first argument, this is used to remove EventListeners, take a look at example:

var x = Mickey().chase();
Mickey().stop( x );

When you .stop an object, for example, let's say, .blink, the .blink is not stopped in the elements it started from, it stops in the elements specified in Mickey():

var b = Mickey('.foo, #test').blink();

.blink was called on .foo and #test. But when you do this:

Mickey('.foo').stop( b );

The #test still blinks!

NOTE: This feature works on .blink, .interval, .timeout, .image, .text, .shadow, .hover and .click

We made it easy to make effects for Mickey. All you have to do is to make a function and assign it to Mickey.effects object that has 3 properties text,shadow and image, your function takes an array of elements as argument, for example, text effects, take the span elements as their first argument, and other properties as second argument. Use Mickey.forEach( elementsArray, function( element ) ) to loop over elements, it's safe and easy.

Mickey(selector).text(..,..,..,.., { name : 'effectName', option1 : 'foo' })

Effects should be in an external file and placed in /effects folder.

Example:

Mickey.effects.text.youreffectname = function( els, opts ) {
  Mickey.forEach( els, function( el ) {
    //Your code
  });
};

That's all, Mickey loops over effects and tries to find the effect that user has called.

Effects available:

text:
     heartbeat

image:
      spin

Third-party effects:

none yet :(
