HTML Preparation code:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div class="foobar" id="node">Hello</div>

Script Preparation code:

var node = document.getElementById('node');
var className = node.className;
var rx = new RegExp('\\b' + className + '\\b');
function hasClassString(e, c) {
  var s = e.className, i = s.indexOf(c);
  return i != -1 && (s.charCodeAt(i - 1) || 32) == 32 && (s.charCodeAt(i + c.length) || 32) == 32;
};

Tests:

$.hasClass
var hasClass = $(node).hasClass(className);
RegExp
var hasClass = rx.test(node.className);
Dry RegExp
var drx = new RegExp('\\b' + className + '\\b'); var hasClass = drx.test(node.className);
indexOf
var hasClass = node.className.indexOf(className) !== -1;
classList
var hasClass = node.classList.contains(className);
hasClassString
var hasClass = hasClassString(node, className);
