I had the need to programmatically add an image to the DOM, in other words to an HTML page, dynamically.
To do that, I created an img
element using the createElement
method of the Document object:
const image = document.createElement('img')
Then I set the src
attribute of the image:
image.src = '/picture.png'
(You can use a relative or an absolute URL, just as you’d use in a normal HTML img
tag)
Then I identified the container I wanted to append the image to, and I called the appendChild()
method on it:
document.querySelector('.container').appendChild(image)
