Welcome to YakaJS!

YakaJS is a powerful JavaScript library that makes DOM manipulation and web development easy and fun! Think of it like this: Instead of writing long, complex code to interact with your web page, YakaJS gives you simple, intuitive methods to get things done quickly. In this lesson, you'll learn the very basics of YakaJS by selecting elements and displaying text.
Key Points
  • YakaJS uses the _() function to select elements (similar to jQuery's $)
  • It makes complex DOM operations simple
  • The syntax is chainable - you can call multiple methods in a row
