createIsolatedElement

async function createIsolatedElement(
  options: CreateIsolatedElementOptions,
): Promise<{
  parentElement: HTMLElement;
  isolatedElement: HTMLElement;
  shadow: ShadowRoot;
}> {
  // ...
}

Create an HTML element that has isolated styles from the rest of the page.

Parameters

• options: CreateIsolatedElementOptions

Returns

• A parentElement that can be added to the DOM
• The shadow root
• An isolatedElement that you should mount your UI to.

Examples

const { isolatedElement, parentElement } = createIsolatedElement({
  name: 'example-ui',
  css: { textContent: "p { color: red }" },
  isolateEvents: true // or ['keydown', 'keyup', 'keypress']
});

// Create and mount your app inside the isolation
const ui = document.createElement("p");
ui.textContent = "Example UI";
isolatedElement.appendChild(ui);

// Add the UI to the DOM
document.body.appendChild(parentElement);

CreateIsolatedElementOptions

interface CreateIsolatedElementOptions {
  name: string;
  mode?: "open" | "closed";
  css?: { url: string } | { textContent: string };
  isolateEvents?: boolean | string[];
}

Options that can be passed into createIsolatedElement.

Properties

• name: string
  An HTML tag name used for the shadow root container.

Note that you can't attach a shadow root to every type of element. There are some that can't have a shadow DOM for security reasons (for example ).

• mode?: 'open' | 'closed' (default: 'closed')
  See ShadowRoot.mode.
• css?: { url: string } | { textContent: string }
  Either the URL to a CSS file or the text contents of a CSS file. The styles will be mounted inside the shadow DOM so they don't effect the rest of the page.
• isolateEvents?: boolean | string[]
  When enabled, event.stopPropagation will be called on events trying to bubble out of the shadow root.
• Set to true to stop the propagation of a default set of events, ["keyup", "keydown", "keypress"]
• Set to an array of event names to stop the propagation of a custom list of events
