Returns all the ancestors of an element from the document root to the given element.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Use a `Node.parentNode` and a `while` loop to move up the ancestor tree of the element.
|
||||||
|
- Use `Array.prototype.unshift()` to add each new ancestor to the start of the array.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```js
|
||||||
|
const getAncestors = el => {
|
||||||
|
let ancestors = [];
|
||||||
|
while (el) {
|
||||||
|
ancestors.unshift(el);
|
||||||
|
el = el.parentNode;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
return ancestors;
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```js
|
||||||
|
getAncestors(document.querySelector('nav')); // [document, html, body, header, nav]
|
||||||
|
```
