// Returns a reference to the element by its ID.
document.getElementById('someid');
// Returns an array-like object of all child elements which have all of the given class names.
document.getElementsByClassName('someclass');
// Returns an HTMLCollection of elements with the given tag name.
document.getElementsByTagName('LI');
// Returns the first element within the document that matches the specified group of selectors.
document.querySelector('.someclass');
// Returns a list of the elements within the document (using depth-first pre-order traversal of the document's nodes)
// that match the specified group of selectors.
document.querySelectorAll('div.note, div.alert');// Get child nodes
var stored = document.getElementById('someid');
var children = stored.childNodes;
// Get parent node
var parental = children.parentNode;// create new elments
var newHeading = document.createElement('h1');
var newParagraph = document.createElement('p');
// create text nodes for new elements
var h1Text= document.createTextNode('This is a nice header text!');
var pText= document.createTextNode('This is a nice paragraph text!');
// attach new text nodes to new elements
newHeading.appendChild(h1Text);
newParagraph.appendChild(pText);
// elements are now created and ready to be added to the DOM.// grab element on page you want to add stuff to
var firstHeading = document.getElementById('firstHeading');
// add both new elements to the page as children to the element we stored in firstHeading.
firstHeading.appendChild(newHeading);
firstHeading.appendChild(newParagraph);
// can also insert before like so
// get parent node of firstHeading
var parent = firstHeading.parentNode;
// insert newHeading before FirstHeading
parent.insertBefore(newHeading, firstHeading);Suppose you have the following HTML:
<div id='box1'>
<p>Some example text</p>
</div>
<div id='box2'>
<p>Some example text</p>
</div>You can insert another snippet of HTML between #box1 and #box2:
var box2 = document.getElementById('box2');
box2.insertAdjacentHTML('beforebegin', '<div><p>This gets inserted.</p></div>');
// beforebegin - The HTML would be placed immediately before the element, as a sibling.
// afterbegin - The HTML would be placed inside the element, before its first child.
// beforeend - The HTML would be placed inside the element, after its last child.
// afterend - The HTML would be placed immediately after the element, as a sibling.// grab element on page you want to use
var firstHeading = document.getElementById('firstHeading');
// will remove foo if it is a class of firstHeading
firstHeading.classList.remove('foo');
// will add the class 'anotherClass' if one does not already exist
firstHeading.classList.add('anotherclass');
// add or remove multiple classes
firstHeading.classList.add('foo', 'bar');
firstHeading.classList.remove('foo', 'bar');
// if visible class is set remove it, otherwise add it
firstHeading.classList.toggle('visible');
// will return true if it has class of 'foo' or false if it does not
firstHeading.classList.contains('foo');// create an empty array
var myArray = [];
// create array with items. Can store any type
var myOtherArray = [myArray, true, 'a random string'];
// call specific value in an array
myOtherArray[0];
// will return myArray
// change value for this item
myOtherArray[0] = false;
// will now return false
// add to end of array
myOtherArray[myOtherArray.length] = 'new stuff';
// will return the new item 'new stuff'
// or you can use push()
myOtherArray.push('new stuff');
// will return new length of array
// you can remove this last item by using pop()
myOtherArray.pop();
// will return the last item of the array and will have removed it from myOtherArray
// shift and unshift will do the same for the begging of the Array
myOtherArray.shift();
// will remove and return first item of array
myOtherArray.unshift(1,2);
// this will add 1 and 2 to beginning of array and return new length
// you can use delete keyword but turn value to undefine and not shorten length. so we use splice()
myOtherArray.splice(2, 1);
// this will remove and return the third item only.
// first arg is where to start and second is how many things to splice. this example is 1.// create an object
var newObject = {};
// add a property to object
newObject.newPropName = 'super slick';
// or other syntax
newObject['other new prop name'] = 'mildly slick';
// Now newObject.newPropName will return 'super slick'
newObject.newPropName;
// now to delete
delete newObject.newPropName;// If Else statements

Is there a way to get this beautiful cheat sheet as a pdf formatted just like the original post is?
Please advise. Thank you.
