Attributes

In addition to the global attributes, you can also use the following additional attributes on github-corner element:

Checkout this page for more examples.

Styling

As normal HTML element, you can style it with class and style attribute. But if you want to style elements which is inside the shadow DOM, then you have to use ::part() CSS pseudo-element.

There are five parts in shadow DOM that can be selected by ::part():

• anchor
• banner
• octocat
• octocat-arm
• octocat-body

You can use devtool to inspect shadow DOM and checkout the position of these parts.

Here is an example to style the parts inside shadow DOM(see live demo):

<style>
  .custom-style::part(banner) {
    fill: #cceb34;
    stroke: #d453f5;
    stroke-width: 16;
    transition: fill 0.2s;
  }

  .custom-style:hover::part(banner) {
    fill: white;
  }

  .custom-style::part(octocat) {
    fill: #d453f5;
    stroke: black;
    stroke-width: 3;
  }

  .custom-style::part(octocat-arm) {
    animation-name: wave-hand;
    animation-duration: 0.2s;
    animation-iteration-count: infinite
  }
</style>
...
<github-corner class="custom-style"></github-corner>

NOTE: Using this way will have more specificity, styling by the attributes listed above will be overwritten.

svg slot

There is a slot named "svg", SVG element on the slot will be cloned and append into the SVG container inside shadow DOM. If you want to add additional SVG to draw something special, or you want to define SVG gradients, you can use the slot to do so.

Here is an example to draw eyes on octocat(see live demo):

<github-corner>
  <svg slot="svg">
    <circle cx="160" cy="75" r="4" fill="black" />
    <circle cx="160" cy="75" r="6" stroke="black" fill="transparent" />
    <circle cx="180" cy="95" r="4" fill="black" />
    <circle cx="180" cy="95" r="6" stroke="black" fill="transparent" />
  </svg>
</github-corner>

NOTE: You can only put an SVG element on the slot, other elements will be ignored.
