isElement (Lodash Compatibility)

::: warning Use instanceof HTMLElement

This isElement function performs structural checks which can be inaccurate and slow.

Instead, use the more accurate and modern instanceof HTMLElement or element.nodeType === 1 checks.

typescript

const result = isElement(value);

Usage

`isElement(value)`

typescript

import { isElement } from 'es-toolkit/compat';

// DOM elements
isElement(document.body); // true
isElement(document.createElement('div')); // true
isElement(document.querySelector('p')); // true (if element exists)

// Non-DOM element values
isElement('<body>'); // false
isElement({}); // false
isElement(null); // false
isElement(undefined); // false

// Text nodes or other node types
isElement(document.createTextNode('text')); // false
isElement(document.createComment('comment')); // false

Parameters

value (any): The value to check.

Returns

(boolean): Returns true if the value appears to be a DOM element, otherwise false.
