Custom Actions in Attractive.js: one interface, from small to big
In last week’s announcement , I promised that when the built-in actions aren’t enough, you can write your own. Let me show you how, because this is what was bugging me most: why pull in another library when Attractive.js can do it as well?

Attractive.js offers custom actions that allow users to extend functionality beyond built-in options. Users can create small one-liners using the js: prefix, which evaluates JavaScript expressions on elements. Additionally, users can define custom actions as plain functions, classes, or extend existing classes.
