Every so often I discover a property in JavaScript objects that I didn’t know existed, oftentimes using another trick to accomplish the same functionality. One such property I just learned about was isConnected
, a node property that attached to a context (i.e. document
).
Here’s how to use Node.prototype.isConnected
:
const el = document.createElement('div'); el.isConnected; // false document.body.appendChild(el); el.isConnected; // true
I used to run parentNode
checks on the element to see if it had been injected but that’s not always accurate, so I’m glad isConnected
exists!
