$
and $$
- Shortcut for document.querySelector[All]()
I still often type document.querySelector()
or document.querySelectorAll()
even though even before this was available in the browser the developer consoles, FireBugs or whatever they were called had a shorter version available $
and $$
. Yep, it works almost exactly the same, just that one returns a NodeList
the other an array. Just try it. It works in all browsers as far as I know, I tried Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Edge. See the image below for how it works in Firefox.
