renderElement
Renders the given DOM tree in the specified DOM element.
- Destructure the first argument into
type
andprops
, usingtype
to determine if the given element is a text element. - Based on the element's
type
, use eitherDocument.createTextNode()
orDocument.createElement()
to create the DOM element. - Use
Object.keys()
to add attributes to the DOM element and setting event listeners, as necessary. - Use recursion to render
props.children
, if any. - Finally, use
Node.appendChild()
to append the DOM element to the specifiedcontainer
.
const renderElement = ({ type, props = {} }, container) => {
const isTextElement = !type;
const element = isTextElement
? document.createTextNode('')
: document.createElement(type);
const isListener = p => p.startsWith('on');
const isAttribute = p => !isListener(p) && p !== 'children';
Object.keys(props).forEach(p => {
if (isAttribute(p)) element[p] = props[p];
if (!isTextElement && isListener(p))
element.addEventListener(p.toLowerCase().slice(2), props[p]);
});
if (!isTextElement && props.children && props.children.length)
props.children.forEach(childElement =>
renderElement(childElement, element)
);
container.appendChild(element);
