NodeFilter

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨julho de 2015⁩.

Uma interface NodeFilter representa um objeto usado para filtrar os nós (elementos), em uma iteração NodeIterator ou TreeWalker. Essas interfaces não conhecem nada sobre o DOM ou sobre como percorrer ou atravessar, elementos; elas apenas sabem como avaliar se um único nó atende aos requisitos do filtro fornecido ou não.

Nota: O navegador não fornece nenhum objeto que implemente essa interface. É esperado que o desenvolvedor escreva tal objeto, utilizando o método acceptNode() conforme as suas necessidades, podendo mesclar com objetos do tipo TreeWalker ou NodeIterator em sua implementação..

NodeFilter.acceptNode()

Returns an unsigned short that will be used to tell if a given Node must be accepted or not by the NodeIterator or TreeWalker iteration algorithm. This method is expected to be written by the user of a NodeFilter. Possible return values are:

Constant	Description
`FILTER_ACCEPT`	Value returned by the `NodeFilter.acceptNode()` method when a node should be accepted.
`FILTER_REJECT`	Value to be returned by the `NodeFilter.acceptNode()` method when a node should be rejected. For `TreeWalker`, child nodes are also rejected. For `NodeIterator`, this flag is synonymous with FILTER_SKIP.
`FILTER_SKIP`	Value to be returned by `NodeFilter.acceptNode()` for nodes to be skipped by the `NodeIterator` or `TreeWalker` object. The children of skipped nodes are still considered. This is treated as "skip this node but not its children".

Example

var nodeIterator = document.createNodeIterator(
 // Node to use as root
 document.getElementById("someId"),
 // Only consider nodes that are text nodes (nodeType 3)
 NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT,
 // Object containing the function to use for the acceptNode method
 // of the NodeFilter
 {
 acceptNode: function (node) {
 // Logic to determine whether to accept, reject or skip node
 // In this case, only accept nodes that have content
 // other than whitespace
 if (!/^\s*$/.test(node.data)) {
 return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT;
 }
 },
 },
 false,
);
// Show the content of every non-empty text node that is a child of root
var node;
while ((node = nodeIterator.nextNode())) {
 alert(node.data);
}
