How Can I Perform $('.div a') in Vanilla JavaScript?

Question

Like the title says, I am looking for a quick way to write following jQuery code $('.div a') in "plain" JavaScript. I know we can do getElementsByClassName to find .div, but how about finding the link it contains?

Answer 1

Browsers have a native method for accomplishing this:

document.querySelectorAll( ".div a" );

You can retrieve only the first match with querySelector.
