Get HTMLElement from Element
Hey!
It may be dumb? Idk.
Anyways, I got an
Element object from document.querySelector(), tho what I need to suit my needs is an HTMLElement.
And when doing ↓
Typescript doesn't consider element as an HTMLElement in the code after that if . I know why, but I don't know how to do otherwise so... Asking here :pSolution:Jump to solution
querySelector() either returns nothing or a dom element. if it does not return an element you can simply use
```ts
const el = document.querySelector("#element")
if (!el) {
return...

I mean I could force Typescript into thinking it is (which it is) with
as HTMLElement or <HTMLElement> but I don't really know if it's the most typesafe way to do it you knowSolution
querySelector() either returns nothing or a dom element. if it does not return an element you can simply use
you can then return the element by telling the typescript what it is
or retunr the element as HTMLElement.
okay thanks!
