Detect element availability on the initial page load and those dynamically appended to the DOM

ready

Watch for specific element availability on initial page load as well as dynamically appended elements via mutation observers. Please refer to the blog post to read more.

Usage

Provide a selector string for the element(s) you want to target as the first argument and a callback function as the second argument. It returns a function that stops observing for new elements only for that particular selector/callback combination:

const off = ready('.foo', (element) => {
    off(); // Stop observing for .foo elements
});

When any element matching the selector becomes available, the callback is invoked in the context of the element as well as passing it as the only parameter. If multiple elements are found, the callback is invoked in succession for each element in document order.
