Uncaught TypeError: Illegal invocation when using setTimeout [duplicate]

Solution 1:

This seems to work:

const queryAll = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document);

bind returns a new function which works identically to the querySelectorAll function, where the value of this inside the querySelectorAll method is bound to the document object.

The bind function is only supported in IE9+ (and all the other browsers) - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/bind

Update: In fact you could create shortcuts to a whole range of document methods like this:

const query = document.querySelector.bind(document);
const queryAll = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document);
const fromId = document.getElementById.bind(document);
const fromClass = document.getElementsByClassName.bind(document);
const fromTag = document.getElementsByTagName.bind(document);

Solution 2:

A common answer is to use $ and $$ for querySelector and querySelectorAll. This alias mimics jQuery's one.

Example:

$ = document.querySelector.bind(document)
$$ = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document)

$('div').style.color = 'blue'
$$('div').forEach(div => div.style.background = 'orange')

div {
  margin: 2px;
}

<div>
  test
</div>
<section>
  <div>
    hello
  </div>
  <div>
    foo
  </div>
</section>
