<p>I recently saw a Twitter thread posted by Tommy Hodgins on implementing highly requested styling features in CSS with only a minimal amount of JavaScript. Many of his examples are great, but the <code>parent</code> selector instantly peaked my interest.</p>
-
<p>Being able to target an element&#8217;s parent always becomes a minor annoyance (since vanilla CSS does not support it) - so you always end up having to do something a little ugly like:</p>
-
<pre><code>var el = document.getElementById(&#39;custom-div&#39;);
var parent = el.closest(selectors);
</code></pre>
-
<p>And then add any custom styling to the parent element directly in JavaScript - or toggle a class which opens a whole other can of worms.</p>

<p>By using the <code>jsincss-parent-selector</code> and <code>qaffeine</code> plugins we can target an element&#8217;s parent in CSS without breaking a sweat. Let&#8217;s break it down:</p>

<p>Then simply run <code>node</code> against your <code>js</code> file. That&#8217;s it! I would also suggest checking out Tommy&#8217;s video covering this topic if you prefer to follow along.</p>
