DOMTokenList: add() method
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The add() method of the DOMTokenList interface adds the given tokens to the list, omitting any that are already present.
Syntax
add(token1)
add(token1, token2)
add(token1, token2, /* …, */ tokenN)
Parameters
tokenN-
A string representing a token (or tokens) to add to the
DOMTokenList.
Return value
None.
Exceptions
SyntaxErrorDOMException-
Thrown if one of the arguments is an empty string
InvalidCharacterErrorDOMException-
Thrown if a token contains ASCII whitespace.
Examples
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:
<span class="a b c"></span>
Now the JavaScript:
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:
span.classList.add("d", "e", "f");
