Filter DOM with a function

To filter the DOM with a client-side filter function, pass a function argument to the method.

The filterFn argument accepts the following parameters:

Parameter	Description
node	The current node.
idx	The index of the current node.
originNode	The DOM Node .

Selector('section').prevSibling((node, idx, originNode) => {
    // node === the <section>'s preceding sibling node
    // idx === index of the current <section>'s preceding sibling node
    // originNode === the <section> element
});

Use the dependencies option to pass variables to the filter function.

const isNodeOk = (node, idx, originNode) => {
    console.log({ node, idx, originNode });
    return idx === 6;
};

const filteredDiv = Selector('div').prevSibling((node) => {
    return !isNaN(node.textContent);
}, { isNodeOk });
