.parentsUntil（$（e.target）.parents（'ul'）。length === 1）

Question

I've got a standard list with multiple levels and I need to check the root of the particular item until

$(e.target).parents('ul').length === 1

Is it possible to use .parentsUntil() for this? Or is there another method I can use so I can check if the root of the list item has a particular class or not?

Answer 1

What you are looking for is called .closest() .

Description: For each element in the set, get the first element that matches the selector by testing the element itself and traversing up through its ancestors in the DOM tree .

Example of use:

if( $(e.target).closest('ul').hasClass('cls') ) {
     //do something
     alert('Class Found');
}

Answer 2

You can use parentsUntil

$(e.target).parentsUntil('ul.someClass')

So it will select the ul with a class someClass

.length is use to check if it exist or not.
