Inserts a node at a specific position as a child of the current node.

Parameters

Param Detail
node:Node Node to insert as a child of the current node.
ref_node:Node Reference node to set node before/after.
before:Boolean Optional state to insert the node before the reference node.

Returns
Node - The node that got inserted.

Example

isEmpty
