dom-scope is a tiny javascript library that allows you to work with HTML document scopes.
When you work with a large HTML document, you often need to get references to specific DOM elements.
To do this, as a rule, developers use identifiers in the attributes of the necessary elements. However, there remains the possibility that the document may contain several elements with the same identifier.
To solve this problem, this library was invented.
To create a scope, you need to create a special data-scope attribute on the parent element.
You can assign local identifiers to child elements using the data-ref attribute.
<body>
<span data-ref="a">a</span>
<span data-ref="b">b</span>
<div data-scope="my-scope-1">
<span data-ref="a">a/1</span>
<span data-ref="b">b/1</span>
</div>
<div data-scope="my-scope-2" id="my-block">
<span data-ref="a">a/2</span>
<span data-ref="b">b/2</span>
<span id="foo">foo</span>
<div data-scope="my-scope">
<span data-ref="a">a/2/1</span>
<span data-ref="b">b/2/1</span>
