这是写在王勇答案(最高分答案)上面的一个更好的版本。

增加的特性:您可以等待一个元素特定的时间，精确定位，以提高性能。

async function waitForElement(selector, timeout = null, location = document.body) {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
        let element = document.querySelector(selector);
        if (element) {
            return resolve(element);
        }

        const observer = new MutationObserver(async () => {
            let element = document.querySelector(selector);
            if (element) {
                resolve(element);
                observer.disconnect();
            } else {
                if (timeout) {
                    async function timeOver() {
                        return new Promise((resolve) => {
                            setTimeout(() => {
                                observer.disconnect();
                                resolve(false);
                            }, timeout);
                        });
                    }
                    resolve(await timeOver());
                }
            }
        });

        observer.observe(location, {
            childList: true,
            subtree: true,
        });
    });
}

用法:

await waitForElement(".nav-alt", 500, ".main-body")

奖励:等待一个元素从DOM中消失。

async function waitForElementDeath(selector, location = document.body) {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
        const observer = new MutationObserver(async () => {
            if (!document.querySelector(selector)) {
                resolve(true);
                observer.disconnect();
            }
        });

        observer.observe(location, {
            childList: true,
            subtree: true,
        });
    });
}

用法:

await waitForElementDeath(".Popup-div", "Popup-Container")

这是一个纯Javascript函数，它允许你等待任何事情。设置更长的间隔，以占用更少的CPU资源。

/**
 * @brief Wait for something to be ready before triggering a timeout
 * @param {callback} isready Function which returns true when the thing we're waiting for has happened
 * @param {callback} success Function to call when the thing is ready
 * @param {callback} error Function to call if we time out before the event becomes ready
 * @param {int} count Number of times to retry the timeout (default 300 or 6s)
 * @param {int} interval Number of milliseconds to wait between attempts (default 20ms)
 */
function waitUntil(isready, success, error, count, interval){
    if (count === undefined) {
        count = 300;
    }
    if (interval === undefined) {
        interval = 20;
    }
    if (isready()) {
        success();
        return;
    }
    // The call back isn't ready. We need to wait for it
    setTimeout(function(){
        if (!count) {
            // We have run out of retries
            if (error !== undefined) {
                error();
            }
        } else {
            // Try again
            waitUntil(isready, success, error, count -1, interval);
        }
    }, interval);
}

要调用它，例如在jQuery中，使用如下代码:

waitUntil(function(){
    return $('#myelement').length > 0;
}, function(){
    alert("myelement now exists");
}, function(){
    alert("I'm bored. I give up.");
});

更新

下面是一个更新的版本，可以使用承诺。如果达到特定的尝试次数，它也会“停止”。

function _waitForElement(selector, delay = 50, tries = 100) {
    const element = document.querySelector(selector);

    if (!window[`__${selector}`]) {
      window[`__${selector}`] = 0;
      window[`__${selector}__delay`] = delay;
      window[`__${selector}__tries`] = tries;
    }

    function _search() {
      return new Promise((resolve) => {
        window[`__${selector}`]++;
        setTimeout(resolve, window[`__${selector}__delay`]);
      });
    }

    if (element === null) {
      if (window[`__${selector}`] >= window[`__${selector}__tries`]) {
        window[`__${selector}`] = 0;
        return Promise.resolve(null);
      }

      return _search().then(() => _waitForElement(selector));
    } else {
      return Promise.resolve(element);
    }
  }

用法很简单，用await使用它只是确保你在一个 异步功能:

const start = (async () => {
  const $el = await _waitForElement(`.my-selector`);
  console.log($el);
})();

过时的版本

只需添加所需的选择器。一旦找到元素，就可以在回调函数中访问它。

const waitUntilElementExists = (selector, callback) => {
const el = document.querySelector(selector);

if (el){
    return callback(el);
}

setTimeout(() => waitUntilElementExists(selector, callback), 500);
}

waitUntilElementExists('.wait-for-me', (el) => console.log(el));

你可以这样做

$('#yourelement').ready(function() {

});

请注意，这只在从服务器请求元素时元素出现在DOM中时才有效。如果元素是通过JavaScript动态添加的，那么它将不起作用，您可能需要查看其他答案。

这里有一个用Javascript编写的promise返回解决方案(没有混乱的回调)。默认情况下，它每200ms检查一次。

function waitFor(selector) {
    return new Promise(function (res, rej) {
        waitForElementToDisplay(selector, 200);
        function waitForElementToDisplay(selector, time) {
            if (document.querySelector(selector) != null) {
                res(document.querySelector(selector));
            }
            else {
                setTimeout(function () {
                    waitForElementToDisplay(selector, time);
                }, time);
            }
        }
    });
}

您可以监听DOMNodeInserted或DOMSubtreeModified事件，每当有新元素添加到DOM时，这些事件就会触发。

还有一个LiveQuery jQuery插件，它可以检测创建的新元素:

$("#future_element").livequery(function(){
    //element created
});
