When using the console on a page without JavaScript, I noticed that typing $ had the same effect as document.querySelector and typing $$ had the same effect as document.querySelectorAll .
Would two functions shortcuts to the querySelector or do they have any specific behavior different?
What's their name? I even searched the caniuse link, but I did not get results (I tried "dollar" too)
These are console-only methods, shortcuts to facilitate the programmer.
This is confirmed by Chrome documentation here and Edge documentation here where it says:
$ () is a shortcut to document.querySelector ().
$$ () is a shortcut to document.querySelectorAll (). $ 0 , $ 1 , $ 2 , $ 3 , $ 4 returns the last elements selected by DOM explorer (elements)
There is still $_ but it behaves differently in Chrome and Edge:
Edge:
$ _ () is a shortcut to the last object / element.
Chrome:
$ _ is a shortcut to show the value of the last evaluated expression.
