jqueryHow do I use the jQuery hasClass() method?

The jQuery hasClass() method is used to check if an element has a specific class. It returns a Boolean value of true or false, depending on whether the element has the specified class.

Example code

if ($('div').hasClass('myClass')) {
  console.log('Element has class');
}

Output example

Element has class

The code above checks if a div element has the class myClass. If it does, the message Element has class is logged in the console.

The syntax of the hasClass() method is as follows:

$(selector).hasClass(classname)

• selector is the element to check for the class name.
• classname is the class name to search for.

For more information, see the jQuery documentation.
