Convert Prototype JS to vanilla JS.

Question

I have the following piece of JS / prototypeJS, that I would like to write in full vanilla JS. I wish to click on an element (one out of a number of elements with the same class - faq-container ) and add a specific class (in this case faq-display ) and add this class only to the parent container ( faq-block ).

I understand that the pure JS function is something to do with .parent.addClass but can not find a relevant example to my situation.

The prototypeJs lines are:

faqContainers[i].addEventListener('click', function(e) { and

var faqToggle = e.target.up('.faq-block');

The script file is:

 var faqContainers = document.getElementsByClassName('faq-container'); for (var i = 0; i < faqContainers.length; i++) { faqContainers[i].addEventListener('click', function(e) { var faqToggle = e.target.up('.faq-block'); if (faqToggle.classList.contains('faq-display')) { faqToggle.classList.remove('faq-display'); } else { faqToggle.classList.add('faq-display'); } }); } 

Many thanks indeed!

Here's an example substituting closest() for PrototypeJS up() :

  var faqContainers = document.getElementsByClassName('faq-container'); for (var i = 0; i < faqContainers.length; i++) { faqContainers[i].addEventListener('click', function(e) { var faqToggle = e.target.closest('.faq-block'); if (faqToggle.classList.contains('faq-display')) { faqToggle.classList.remove('faq-display'); } else { faqToggle.classList.add('faq-display'); } }); } 

  .faq { display: none; } .faq-block.faq-display .faq { display: block; }
