Hide In Shadows HTML

A small, zero dependency library for wrapping markup in declarative shadow dom.

Usage

Installation

npm install @hide-in-shadows/html

Isolated Markup

If you want to isolate your markup inside the shadow dom, read on...

The Code

import { wrap } from "@hide-in-shadows/html";

const markup = `
    <h1>Isolated Markup!</h1>
    <div>This markup will be isolated inside declarative shadow DOM</div>
`;

const options = {
  mode: "open", // or "closed", defaults to "open"
};

const rendered = wrap(
  "hide-in-shadows-example", // name to use for custom element in the DOM
  markup, // HTML markup in a string
  options // additional options
);

// you should then respond with "rendered" from your server

Caveats

The same trade offs for using shadow DOM anywhere else exist here as well. Global styles won't affect the wrapped markup, global scripts won`t target the wrapped markup and so on. If you have existing scripts, you may need to rewrite them to ensure they target the correct elements.

Eg.

document.querySelector("#some-id");

Will need to be changed to reach into the shadow DOM if it is to continue working

document
  .querySelector("hide-in-shadows-example")
  .shadowRoot.querySelector("#some-id");
