Finds all the ancestors of an element up until the element matched by the specified selector.
|
|
|
|
- Use `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.
|
|
- Use `Element.matches()` to check if the current element matches the specified `selector`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const getParentsUntil = (el, selector) => {
|
|
let parents = [],
|
|
_el = el.parentNode;
|
|
while (_el && typeof _el.matches === 'function') {
|
|
parents.unshift(_el);
|
|
if (_el.matches(selector)) return parents;
|
|
else _el = _el.parentNode;
|
|
}
|
|
return [];
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
getParentsUntil(document.querySelector('#home-link'), 'header');
|
|
// [header, nav, ul, li]
|
|
```
