I have an element with multiple classes and I'd like to get its css classes in an array. How would I do this? Something like this:
var classList = $(this).allTheClasses();
No need to use jQuery for it:
var classList = this.className.split(' ')
If you for some reason want to do it from a jQuery object, those two solutions work, too:
var classList = $(this)[0].className.split(' ')
var classList = $(this).prop('className').split(' ')
Of course you could switch to overkill development mode and write a jQuery plugin for it:
$.fn.allTheClasses = function() {
return this[0].className.split(' ');
}
Then $(this).allTheClasses() would give you an array containing the class names.
