Javascript equivalent of jQuery's .detach() function

Question

I'm looking for a JavaScript function which does the same thing as jQuery's detach() (detach an element from DOM without removing it). I came across this, but it's not an officially supported function. Does JavaScript have a function similar to .detach() that is built in?

Answer 1

Something like this?

function detach(node) {
  return node.parentElement.removeChild(node);
}

or, even you can just use node.parentElement.removeChild(node)

Brief explanation. From MDN

The Node.removeChild() method removes a child node from the DOM. Returns removed node.

The removed child node still exists in memory, but is no longer part of the DOM. ... you may reuse the removed node later in your code....
