Documentation

The Documentation has been moved to GitHubs Wiki Pages, but I will keep a table of contents list here and some basic instructions.

Files

The tail.select package contains different JavaScript files:

js/tail.select(.min).js The main JavaScript with en tranlation strings only.
js/tail.select-full(.min).js The main JavaScript with ALL available translations.
js/tail.select-es6(.min).js An experimental ECMAScript 2015 / ES6 Module version (includes all translations).
langs/tail.select-all(.min).js Just ALL translation strings itself.
langs/tail.select-{locale}.js Just the {locale} translation strings.

Basic Instructions

You can pass up to 2 arguments to the tail.select constructor, the first parameter is required and need to be an Element, a NodeList, a HTMLCollection, an Array with Element objects or just a single selector as string, which calls the querySelectorAll() method on its own. The second parameter is optional and, if set, MUST be an object with your tail.select options.
