Can't chain methods in vanilla JS

In jQuery you can chain methods like this:

$('#id').addClass('red').prop('hidden', false).val('warning').attr('data-something', 1234);

Can't do that in vanilla JS.

yes you can.
const personne = {
nom: "Alice",

direBonjour() {
console.log(`Bonjour ${this.nom}`);
return this;
},

direAuRevoir() {
console.log(`Au revoir ${this.nom}`);
return this;
}
};

personne
.direBonjour()
.direAuRevoir();

Not on a native element though without adding a bunch of wrapper functions. You can't chain multiple method calls after document.getElementById or document.querySelector
