Cypress.dom.method() is a collection of DOM related helper methods.

There are actually dozens of methods attached to Cypress.dom that are not documented below. These methods are used internally by Cypress in nearly every single built in command.

We suggest reading through the source code here to see all of the methods and what they do.

Syntax

cy.get('div').then(($el) => {
  Cypress.dom.isDescendent($el.parent(), $el) // true
