# row_getParentRow

# Function: row\_getParentRow()

```ts
function row_getParentRow<TFeatures, TData>(row): 
  | Row<TFeatures, TData>
  | undefined;
```

## Parameters

### row

[`Row`](../../index/type-aliases/Row.md)\<`TFeatures`, `TData`\>

## Returns

  \| [`Row`](../../index/type-aliases/Row.md)\<`TFeatures`, `TData`\>
  \| `undefined`

## Example

```ts
const parent = row_getParentRow(row)
```
