descended-from v1.0.2

Descended From

Check if a DOM node is descended from another node or selector.

Installation

npm install descended-from

Usage

var descendedFrom = require('descended-from');

var child = document.getElementById('child');
var parent = document.getElementById('parent');

descendedFrom(child, parent) // -> true

given this DOM

<div id="parent">
  <div>
    <div id="child"></div>
  </div>
</div>

This is equivalent running parent.contains(child). However you can do more with descended-from.

Check if descended from an element with a class

var child = document.getElementById('child');

descendedFrom(child, '.parent') // -> true

given this DOM

<div class="parent">
  <div>
    <div id="child"></div>
  </div>
</div>

Check if descended from an element with an ID

var child = document.getElementById('child');

descendedFrom(child, '#parent') // -> true

given this DOM

<div id="parent">
  <div>
    <div id="child"></div>
  </div>
</div>
