methods

var hyperglue = require('hyperglue')

hyperglue(src, updates)

Return an html element from the source string or element src with updates applied to it. updates should have query selectors as keys and target strings, numbers, or objects as values.

If the target values in updates are strings or numbers, set the inner text content of the matching elements to that value.

When the target values are html elements, replace the inner content at the selected element with a clone of the value.

If the target values in updates are non-html element objects, update the attributes on all matching elements with the keys in the target values. Use '_text' to set the text content and '_html' to set the innerHTML in object form. If '_html'`` is an HTML element, replace the inner content at the selector elements with a clone of the '_html'` value.
