Enzyme: Question - getting only direct children

[lhsantos]

How can I get only the direct children of a node?

[ljharb]

More context would be helpful, but .children()?

[lhsantos]

Ok, my problem is that children () returns all descendants of a node, the full hierarchy, while I want to check only the immediate children, i.e., the nodes on the next level at the tree.

[ljharb]

@lhsantos .children() should only return the direct children; but those themselves have their own children. Can you step back a bit and explain what you're trying to check for?

[lhsantos]

Well, for instance, I called root.children('ul') and it returned the immediate child that's a 'ul', but also a grandchild of that node that's also a 'ul'.

[ljharb]

try root.children().filter(‘ul’)

ok, sorry for the late response. i'm not completely sure of what i was doing wrong, but i think now i understand how this works. thanks!
