unwrap
The unwrap method is used to remove one layer of external wrapping elements from the target element.
Below is an example:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kirakiray/ofa.js@4.5.26/dist/ofa.min.js"></script>
<style> div{border: #aaa solid 1px; margin:8px; padding:8px;} </style>
<div style="color:red;border-color:red;">
<div id="target">I am target</div>
</div>
<script>
setTimeout(()=>{
$('#target').unwrap();
}, 500);
</script>
Caveat
The target element must have a parent node, otherwise the wrapping operation will fail.
const $el = $(`
<div>
<div id="target"></div>
</div>
`);
$el.unwrap(); // ❌ Error, cannot unwrap without a parent element
$el.$('#target').unwrap(); // ✅ Correct, unwrap the wrapped element
When there are other sibling elements, unwrap cannot be executed.
const $el = $(`
<div>
<div id="target"></div>
<div>I am siblings</div>
</div>
`);
$el.$('#target').unwrap(); // ❌ Error, because it has other adjacent nodes
Please note, do not manipulate elements with template syntax.
