Browsers have become so nice to work with, that these days, I get away with just the following two lines of code to simplify DOM manipulation:

    dqs  = document.querySelector.bind(document);
    dqsA = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document);

So instead of

    country = document.querySelector('#country');
    cities  = document.querySelectorAll('.city');

I can write

    country = dqs('#country');
    cities  = dqsA('.city');

For everything else, I am fine with just using the native browser functions.

I usually import the two functions from a module like this:

import { dqs, dqsA } from '/lib/js/dqs.js';

This is the module:
