The length read-only property of the DOMTokenList interface is an integer representing the number of objects stored in the object.
Syntax
tokenList.length;
Value
An integer.
Examples
In the following example we retrieve the list of classes set on a <span> element as a DOMTokenList using Element.classList, then write the length of the list to the <span>'s Node.textContent.
First, the HTML:
<span class="a b c"></span>
Now the JavaScript:
var span = document.querySelector("span");
var classes = span.classList;
var length = classes.length;
span.textContent = 'classList length = ' + length;
The output looks like this:
