๐ Prefer Node#append() over Node#appendChild().
๐ผ This rule is enabled in the following configs: โ
recommended, โ๏ธ unopinionated.
๐ง This rule is automatically fixable by the --fix CLI option.
Enforces the use of, for example, document.body.append(div); over document.body.appendChild(div); for DOM nodes. There are some advantages of using Node#append(), like the ability to append multiple nodes and to append both DOMString and DOM node objects.
Examples
// โ
foo.appendChild(bar);
// โ
foo.append(bar);
