map

.map()

Run a callback function on each node in a Dabby collection, and return an array.

Usage

$(selector).map(callback);

The callback uses the following pattern:

function (index, element) {
	// your code here, this is the same as element
}

Example

The following example extracts the innerText from the HTML as an array:

<div class="map">First</div>
<div class="map">Second</div>
<div class="map">Third</div>

var arr = $(".map").map(function () {
	return this.innerText;
});

Return value

An array containing the values returned from the callback.

Differences to jQuery

Dabby does not support making a collection from anything but nodes, whereas in jQuery this method returns a jQuery collection wrapping the return values, Dabby returns a plain array.
