addClass(e: HTMLElement, className: string): void
Adds a class to an element.
Element that will have the class added.
Class to add to the element.
animate(apply: Function, duration?: number, step?: number): number
Calls a function on a timer with a parameter varying between zero and one.
Use this function to create animations by modifying document properties or styles on a timer.
For example, the code below changes the opacity of an element from zero to one in one second:
var element = document.getElementById('someElement');
animate(function(pct) {
element.style.opacity = pct;
}, 1000);
The function returns an interval ID that you can use to stop the animation. This is typically done when you are starting a new animation and wish to suspend other on-going animations on the same element. For example, the code below keeps track of the interval ID and clears if before starting a new animation:
var element = document.getElementById('someElement');
if (this._animInterval) {
clearInterval(this._animInterval);
}
var self = this;
self._animInterval = animate(function(pct) {
element.style.opacity = pct;
if (pct == 1) {
self._animInterval = null;
}
}, 1000);Callback function that modifies the document. The function takes a single parameter that represents a percentage.
The duration of the animation, in milliseconds.
The interval between animation frames, in milliseconds.

escapeHtml(text: string): void
Escapes a string by replacing HTML characters as text entities.
Strings entered by uses should always be escaped before they are displayed in HTML pages. This ensures page integrity and prevents HTML/javascript injection attacks.
Text to escape.
format(format: string, data: any, formatFunction?: Function): string
Replaces each format item in a specified string with the text equivalent of an object's value.
The function works by replacing parts of the formatString with the pattern '{name:format}' with properties of the data parameter. For example:
var data = { name: 'Joe', amount: 123456 };
var msg = wijmo.format('Hello {name}, you won {amount:n2}!', data);
The format function supports pluralization. If the format string is a JSON-encoded object with 'count' and 'when' properties, the method uses the 'count' parameter of the data object to select the appropriate format from the 'when' property. For example:
var fmt = {
count: 'count',
when: {
0: 'No items selected.',
1: 'One item is selected.',
2: 'A pair is selected.',
'other': '{count:n0} items are selected.'
}
}
fmt = JSON.stringify(fmt);
console.log(wijmo.format(fmt, { count: 0 })); // No items selected.
console.log(wijmo.format(fmt, { count: 1 })); // One item is selected.
console.log(wijmo.format(fmt, { count: 2 })); // A pair is selected.
console.log(wijmo.format(fmt, { count: 12 })); 12 items are selected.
The optional formatFunction allows you to customize the content by providing context-sensitive formatting. If provided, the format function gets called for each format element and gets passed the data object, the parameter name, the format, and the value; it should return an output string. For example:
var data = { name: 'Joe', amount: 123456 };
var msg = wijmo.format('Hello {name}, you won {amount:n2}!', data,
function (data, name, fmt, val) {
if (wijmo.isString(data[name])) {
val = wijmo.escapeHtml(data[name]);
}
return val;
}

success: function (xhr) {
var response = JSON.parse(xhr.response),
