JS how to correctly go through the elements by links and if the link matches the get add a class to it?

Question

JavaScript

I do a check on the url get-parameter, and if the block contains this link, then I add a class to it

$('.navigation-list__item a').each(function() {
        var link = jQuery(this).attr("href");
        if (link === get) {
            (this).parentNode.addClass("navigation-list__item_active");
        }
    });

(get variable contains get parameter)
how to write this line correctly

(this).parentNode.addClass("navigation-list__item_active");

Now
throws Uncaught TypeError: this.parentNode.addClass is not a function

Answer 1

Need to be replaced

(this).parentNode.addClass("navigation-list__item_active");

on the

$(this).parent().addClass("navigation-list__item_active");

and even better like this (more reliable, in case the navigation-list__item structure changes):

$(this).closest(".navigation-list__item").addClass("navigation-list__item_active");

parentNode is a property of DOM elements, in jQuery the equivalent method is parent()
