isDirectChild

Use the isDirectChild function to test if a child component instance is a direct descendant of the given parent instance. This function is helpful when working with nested components which declare themselves as children.

Usage

import { Base, isDirectChild } from '@studiometa/js-toolkit';
import Child from './Child.js';

class Parent extends Base {
  static config = {
    name: 'Parent',
    components: {
      Child,
      Parent, // Useful for recursive components only
    },
  };

  onChildClick({ target, event }) {
    if (isDirectChild(this, 'Parent', 'Child', target)) {
      event.preventDefault();
    }
  }
}

Parameters

• parentInstance (Base): the parent instance.
• parentName (string): the name of the recursive parent as specified in the config.components object.
• childName (string): the name of the child component as specified in the config.components object.
• childInstance (Base): the child instance.

Return value

• boolean: true if the given child instance is a direct descendant of the given parent instance.
