如果你对用户可见感兴趣:

function isVisible(elem) {
    if (!(elem instanceof Element)) throw Error('DomUtil: elem is not an element.');
    const style = getComputedStyle(elem);
    if (style.display === 'none') return false;
    if (style.visibility !== 'visible') return false;
    if (style.opacity < 0.1) return false;
    if (elem.offsetWidth + elem.offsetHeight + elem.getBoundingClientRect().height +
        elem.getBoundingClientRect().width === 0) {
        return false;
    }
    const elemCenter   = {
        x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().left + elem.offsetWidth / 2,
        y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().top + elem.offsetHeight / 2
    };
    if (elemCenter.x < 0) return false;
    if (elemCenter.x > (document.documentElement.clientWidth || window.innerWidth)) return false;
    if (elemCenter.y < 0) return false;
    if (elemCenter.y > (document.documentElement.clientHeight || window.innerHeight)) return false;
    let pointContainer = document.elementFromPoint(elemCenter.x, elemCenter.y);
    do {
        if (pointContainer === elem) return true;
    } while (pointContainer = pointContainer.parentNode);
    return false;
}

测试对象(使用摩卡术语):

describe.only('visibility', function () {
    let div, visible, notVisible, inViewport, leftOfViewport, rightOfViewport, aboveViewport,
        belowViewport, notDisplayed, zeroOpacity, zIndex1, zIndex2;
    before(() => {
        div = document.createElement('div');
        document.querySelector('body').appendChild(div);
        div.appendChild(visible = document.createElement('div'));
        visible.style       = 'border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px; display: inline-block;';
        visible.textContent = 'visible';
        div.appendChild(inViewport = visible.cloneNode(false));
        inViewport.textContent = 'inViewport';
        div.appendChild(notDisplayed = visible.cloneNode(false));
        notDisplayed.style.display = 'none';
        notDisplayed.textContent   = 'notDisplayed';
        div.appendChild(notVisible = visible.cloneNode(false));
        notVisible.style.visibility = 'hidden';
        notVisible.textContent      = 'notVisible';
        div.appendChild(leftOfViewport = visible.cloneNode(false));
        leftOfViewport.style.position = 'absolute';
        leftOfViewport.style.right = '100000px';
        leftOfViewport.textContent = 'leftOfViewport';
        div.appendChild(rightOfViewport = leftOfViewport.cloneNode(false));
        rightOfViewport.style.right       = '0';
        rightOfViewport.style.left       = '100000px';
        rightOfViewport.textContent = 'rightOfViewport';
        div.appendChild(aboveViewport = leftOfViewport.cloneNode(false));
        aboveViewport.style.right       = '0';
        aboveViewport.style.bottom       = '100000px';
        aboveViewport.textContent = 'aboveViewport';
        div.appendChild(belowViewport = leftOfViewport.cloneNode(false));
        belowViewport.style.right       = '0';
        belowViewport.style.top       = '100000px';
        belowViewport.textContent = 'belowViewport';
        div.appendChild(zeroOpacity = visible.cloneNode(false));
        zeroOpacity.textContent   = 'zeroOpacity';
        zeroOpacity.style.opacity = '0';
        div.appendChild(zIndex1 = visible.cloneNode(false));
        zIndex1.textContent = 'zIndex1';
        zIndex1.style.position = 'absolute';
        zIndex1.style.left = zIndex1.style.top = zIndex1.style.width = zIndex1.style.height = '100px';
        zIndex1.style.zIndex = '1';
        div.appendChild(zIndex2 = zIndex1.cloneNode(false));
        zIndex2.textContent = 'zIndex2';
        zIndex2.style.left = zIndex2.style.top = '90px';
        zIndex2.style.width = zIndex2.style.height = '120px';
        zIndex2.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
        zIndex2.style.zIndex = '2';
    });
    after(() => {
        div.parentNode.removeChild(div);
    });
    it('isVisible = true', () => {
        expect(isVisible(div)).to.be.true;
        expect(isVisible(visible)).to.be.true;
        expect(isVisible(inViewport)).to.be.true;
        expect(isVisible(zIndex2)).to.be.true;
    });
    it('isVisible = false', () => {
        expect(isVisible(notDisplayed)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(notVisible)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(document.createElement('div'))).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(zIndex1)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(zeroOpacity)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(leftOfViewport)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(rightOfViewport)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(aboveViewport)).to.be.false;
        expect(isVisible(belowViewport)).to.be.false;
    });
});

如果元素是常规可见的(display:block和visibility:visible)，但有些父容器是隐藏的，那么我们可以使用clientWidth和clienttheight来检查。

function isVisible (ele) {
  return  ele.clientWidth !== 0 &&
    ele.clientHeight !== 0 &&
    (ele.style.opacity !== '' ? parseFloat(ele.style.opacity) > 0 : true);
}

我有一个更有效的解决方案相比AlexZ的getComputedStyle()解决方案时，有位置“固定”元素，如果一个愿意忽略一些边缘情况(检查评论):

function isVisible(el) {
    /* offsetParent would be null if display 'none' is set.
       However Chrome, IE and MS Edge returns offsetParent as null for elements
       with CSS position 'fixed'. So check whether the dimensions are zero.

       This check would be inaccurate if position is 'fixed' AND dimensions were
       intentionally set to zero. But..it is good enough for most cases.*/
    return Boolean(el.offsetParent || el.offsetWidth || el.offsetHeight);
}

附注:严格来说，“可见性”首先需要定义。在我的情况下，我正在考虑一个元素可见，只要我可以运行所有DOM方法/属性上没有问题(即使不透明度为0或CSS可见性属性是“隐藏”等)。

对我来说，所有其他的解决方案在某些情况下都失效了。

最终，我认为最好的解决方案是$(elem).is(':visible')——然而，这不是纯javascript。它是jquery..

所以我偷看了他们的来源，找到了我想要的

jQuery.expr.filters.visible = function( elem ) {
    return !!( elem.offsetWidth || elem.offsetHeight || elem.getClientRects().length );
};

这是来源:https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/css/hiddenVisibleSelectors.js

仅供参考，应该注意getBoundingClientRect()在某些情况下可以工作。

例如，使用display: none简单检查元素是否被隐藏，可能看起来像这样:

var box = element.getBoundingClientRect();
var visible = box.width && box.height;

这也很方便，因为它还涵盖了零宽度、零高度和位置:固定的情况。但是，它不应该报告使用opacity: 0或visibility: hidden隐藏的元素(但是也不会报告offsetParent)。

这可能会有帮助: 将元素隐藏在最左边的位置，然后检查offsetLeft属性。如果你想使用jQuery，你可以简单地检查:visible选择器并获得元素的可见状态。

HTML:

<div id="myDiv">Hello</div>

CSS:

<!-- for javaScript-->
#myDiv{
   position:absolute;
   left : -2000px;
}

<!-- for jQuery -->
#myDiv{
    visibility:hidden;
}

javaScript:

var myStyle = document.getElementById("myDiv").offsetLeft;

if(myStyle < 0){
     alert("Div is hidden!!");
}

jQuery:

if(  $("#MyElement").is(":visible") == true )
{  
     alert("Div is visible!!");        
}
