Removes an element from the DOM.
|
|
|
|
- Use `Node.parentNode` to get the given element's parent node.
|
|
- Use `Node.removeChild()` to remove the given element from its parent node.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const removeElement = el => el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
removeElement(document.querySelector('#my-element'));
|
|
// Removes #my-element from the DOM
|
|
```
