Interface Node

All Superinterfaces:

All Known Subinterfaces:

public interface Node
extends EventTarget

A Node is an interface from which a number of ReactDOM types inherit, and allows these various types to be treated (or tested) similarly.

Method Detail

getChildNodes

NodeList getChildNodes()

Getter for childNodes attribute

Returns:

Returns a live NodeList containing all the children of this node. NodeList being live means that if the children of the Node change, the NodeList object is automatically updated.

getFirstChild

Node getFirstChild()

Getter for the firstChild attribute

Returns:

Returns a Node representing the first direct child node of the node, or null if the node has no child.

getLastChild

Node getLastChild()

Getter for the lastChild attribute

Returns:

Returns a Node representing the last direct child node of the node, or null if the node has no child.

getParentNode

Node getParentNode()

Getter for the parentNode attribute

Returns:

Returns a Node that is the parent of this node. If there is no such node, like if this node is the top of the tree or if doesn't participate in a tree, this property returns null.

getParentElement

Element getParentElement()

Getter for the parentElement attribute

Returns:

Returns an ReactElement that is the parent of this node. If the node has no parent, or if that parent is not an ReactElement, this property returns null.

getTextContent

java.lang.String getTextContent()

Getter for textContent property.
Differences to innerText:
Internet Explorer introduced element.innerText. The intention is similar but with the following differences:
While textContent gets the content of all elements, including <script> and <style> elements, the IE-specific property innerText does not.
innerText is aware of style and will not return the text of hidden elements, whereas textContent will.
As innerText is aware of CSS styling, it will trigger a reflow, whereas textContent will not.
Unlike textContent, altering innerText in Internet Explorer (up to version 11 inclusive) not just removes child nodes from the element, but also permanently destroys all descendant text nodes (so it is impossible to insert the nodes again into any other element or into the same element anymore).

Returns:

The textContent property represents the text content of a node and its descendants. It returns null if the element is a document, a document type, or a notation.

getInnerText()

setTextContent

void setTextContent(java.lang.String textContent)

Parameters:

s - The textContent property represents the text content of a node and its descendants.

getInnerText

java.lang.String getInnerText()

Getter for innerText property.

It is a nonstandard property that represents the text content of a node and its descendants. As a getter, it approximates the text the user would get if they highlighted the contents of the element with the cursor and then copied to the clipboard.

Returns:

Approximation of the text the user would get if they highlighted the contents of the element with the cursor and then copied to the clipboard.

getTextContent()

setInnerText

void setInnerText(java.lang.String innerText)

Setter for innerText property.
It is a nonstandard property that represents the text content of a node and its descendants.

Parameters:

innerText - The innerText value to set

hasChildNodes

boolean hasChildNodes()

Returns whether the element has any child nodes

Returns:

Indicates if the element has any child nodes, or not.

appendChild

void appendChild(java.lang.Object child)

Insert a Node as the last child node of this element.

Parameters:

child - The child to be inserted

removeChild

void removeChild(java.lang.Object child)

Removes a child node from the current element, which must be a child of the current node.

Parameters:

child - The child to remove

replaceChild

Node replaceChild(Node newChild,
                  Node oldChild)

Replaces one child Node of the current one with the second one given in parameter.

Parameters:

newChild - The new node to replace oldChild. If it already exists in the ReactDOM, it is first removed.

oldChild - The existing child to be replaced.

Returns:

The replaced node. This is the same node as oldChild

insertBefore

Node insertBefore(Node newChild,
                  Node refChild)

Inserts the node newChild before the existing child node refChild. If refChild is null, insert newChild at the end of the list of children. If newChild is a DocumentFragment object, all of its children are inserted, in the same order, before refChild. If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

Parameters:

newChild - The node to insert.

refChild - The reference node, i.e., the node before which the new node must be inserted.

Returns:

The node being inserted
