domNode instanceof Element return false

[ajjack50n]

The latest release appears to have a problem..

expected:

domNode instanceof Element returns true for dom elements

actual: it returns false

code I am using below...
I will try and create a demo but no time right now....

const options: HTMLReactParserOptions | undefined = {
    replace: (domNode: DOMNode): JSX.Element | undefined => {
        if (
            domNode instanceof Element
            && domNode.attribs
        ) {
            ....
                return (
                    ...
                )
            }
        }
        return
    }
}

Environment

• Version: 1 latest : 1.4.14
• Platform:
• Browser: tried in chrome

I'm having this issue with ts instance of Element as well. Any luck?

So I rolled back to the previous version I was on but that did not fix it. I am a bit confused as to what has happened. Perhaps someone smarter than me on this forum can explain...

I have worked around the issue with the following..

        const el: Element = (domNode as Element)
        if (el.attribs)...

Can you try deleting node_modules and doing a fresh install?

rm -rf node_modules
npm i

I did a refresh install, also tried rolling back to previous versions. domNode instanceof Element is always false.

I managed to use the workaround suggested by @ajjack50n .

replace: (domNode) => { const el: Element = domNode as Element; if (el.name === "ul")

I don't get it why "instanceof Element" doesn't work either. Thanks for the work around!

It seems like the error is not showing up in the CodeSandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/html-react-parser-z0kp6?file=/src/index.tsx

@superchrisho has your issue been resolved? Can the issue be closed?

@remarkablemark
Using the work around, it is resolved.
