In the following example, we retrieve the list of classes set on a <span>
element as a DOMTokenList
, using Element.classList
.
We then add a new token to the list, and write the list into the <span>
's Node.textContent
.
First, the HTML:
html
<span class="a b c"></span>
Now the JavaScript:
js
const span = document.querySelector("span");
const classes = span.classList;
classes.add("d");
span.textContent = classes;
The output looks like this:
You can add multiple tokens as well:
js
span.classList.add("d", "e", "f");
