Enum ElementType

An enumeration of all the element types.

To call an enum, you call its parent class, name, and property. For example, DocumentApp.ElementType.BODY_SECTION.

Use the ElementType enumeration to check the type of a given element, for instance:

const documentTab =
    DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getActiveTab().asDocumentTab();
const firstChild = documentTab.getBody().getChild(0);
if (firstChild.getType() === DocumentApp.ElementType.PARAGRAPH) {
  // It's a paragraph, apply a paragraph heading.
  firstChild.asParagraph().setHeading(DocumentApp.ParagraphHeading.HEADING1);
}
