Example

Basic Usage

import { createDocumentFragment } from 'ranuts';

const div1 = document.createElement('div');
const div2 = document.createElement('div');
const fragment = createDocumentFragment([div1, div2]);

// Add to DOM at once
document.body.appendChild(fragment);

Batch Add Elements

import { createDocumentFragment } from 'ranuts';

const elements = Array.from({ length: 100 }, () => {
  const div = document.createElement('div');
  div.textContent = 'Item';
  return div;
});

const fragment = createDocumentFragment(elements);
document.getElementById('container').appendChild(fragment);

Server-Side Safety

import { createDocumentFragment } from 'ranuts';

// Returns undefined in server-side environment
const fragment = createDocumentFragment([element]);
console.log(fragment); // undefined (server-side environment)

Notes

1. Performance optimization: Using DocumentFragment can avoid multiple DOM operations, improving performance.
2. Server-side safety: Returns undefined in server-side environments (no document object), won't throw errors.
3. One-time addition: After Fragment is added to DOM, its child elements move to target element, Fragment itself is not retained.
4. Use case: Commonly used for batch adding elements, reducing reflow/repaint, improving performance, etc.
