# isElement

Checks if a rendered node is an `Element`.

## Signatures

```ts
export declare function isElement(node: Rendered): node is Element;
```

## Why

Element-only operations remain expressed through native DOM types.

## Ownership and lifetime

The check borrows the candidate for a native element-kind test and does not
claim or retain the Element.

## Examples

```ts
import { isElement } from "@typed/template/Wire"

const result = isElement(document.createElement("div"))
```
