vanilla document.ready function code example

Example: vanilla document.ready function

//Document ready function (Vanilla
(function(funcName, baseObj) {

                // the docReady() function will see that it already fired
                // and will schedule the callback to run right after
                // this event loop finishes so all handlers will still execute
                // in order and no new ones will be added to the readyList

                readyList[i].fn.call(window, readyList[i].ctx);
