# selecting

A library that allows you to access the text selected by the user.

## Instalation

To install Selecting, execute:

```shell

  npm install selecting

```

```

## Supported Browsers

* Google Chrome

* Firefox

* Internet Explorer 9.0+

## How to use?

Selecting doesn't depend on jQuery, Zepto or any other library to work. You need just to include it at the end of your HTML code:

```html

  

```

Then you can call window.selecting function passing two parameters: an DOM element (jQuery object or NodeList) to listen to and a callback function that receive a [Selection](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.getSelection) object by parameter. For example:

```js

  window.selecting($('.container'), function(selector) {

    // Properties

    selector.text; // The selected text

    selector.wordCount; // The number of words selected

  });

```
