is-dom
Advanced tools
Package description
The is-dom npm package is a simple utility that allows developers to check if a given object is a DOM element. This can be particularly useful when working with the DOM in a web browser environment, ensuring that operations on elements are only attempted if the object in question is indeed a valid DOM element.
Check if an object is a DOM element
This feature allows developers to verify whether a given object is a DOM element. The code sample demonstrates how to use the is-dom package to check if 'document.body' is a DOM element.
var isDom = require('is-dom');
if (isDom(document.body)) {
console.log('This is a DOM element.');
} else {
console.log('This is not a DOM element.');
}The dom-helpers package is a collection of utility functions for working with the DOM. It includes more comprehensive features than is-dom, such as adding or removing event listeners, querying the DOM, and manipulating classes and styles. While is-dom focuses solely on checking if an object is a DOM element, dom-helpers provides a broader set of tools for DOM manipulation.
is-dom-node is another package that provides a function to check if a value is a DOM Node. It is similar to is-dom but specifically checks for Node objects, which include elements, text nodes, and other types of nodes in the DOM hierarchy. In contrast, is-dom is focused on DOM elements only.
is-element is a package that, like is-dom, checks if an object is a DOM element. However, it differs in implementation and may have different performance characteristics. Developers might choose one over the other based on factors such as package size, dependency tree, or personal preference.
