< flag-icon country = "nl" ></ flag-icon >
To do this, we first declare a class for the custom element, extending
HTMLElement:
class FlagIcon extends HTMLElement {
constructor() {
super ();
this . _countryCode = null ;
}
static observedAttributes = [ "country" ];
attributeChangedCallback( name, oldValue, newValue) {
// name will always be "country" due to observedAttributes
this . _countryCode = newValue;
this . _updateRendering();
}
connectedCallback() {
this . _updateRendering();
}
get country() {
return this . _countryCode;
}
set country( v) {
this . setAttribute( "country" , v);
}
_updateRendering() {
// Left as an exercise for the reader. But, you'll probably want to
// check this.ownerDocument.defaultView to see if we've been
// inserted into a document with a browsing context, and avoid
// doing any work if not.
}
}
We then need to use this class to define the element:
customElements. define( "flag-icon" , FlagIcon);
At this point, our above code will work! The parser, whenever it sees the flag-icon tag, will construct a new instance of our FlagIcon class, and tell our code about its new country
attribute, which we then use to set the element's internal state and update its rendering (when
appropriate).
You can also create flag-icon elements using the DOM API:
const flagIcon = document. createElement( "flag-icon" )
flagIcon. country = "jp"
document. body. appendChild( flagIcon)
Finally, we can also use the custom element constructor itself. That is, the above
code is equivalent to:
const flagIcon = new FlagIcon()
flagIcon. country = "jp"
document. body. appendChild( flagIcon)
formAssociated property, with a true value, makes an
autonomous custom elementaform-associated custom element. The
ElementInternals interface helps you to implement functions and properties common
to form control elements.
class MyCheckbox extends HTMLElement {
static formAssociated = true ;
static observedAttributes = [ 'checked' ];
constructor() {
super ();
this . _internals = this . attachInternals();
this . addEventListener( 'click' , this . _onClick. bind( this ));
}
get form() { return this . _internals. form; }
get name() { return this . getAttribute( 'name' ); }
get type() { return this . localName; }
get checked() { return this . hasAttribute( 'checked' ); }
set checked( flag) { this . toggleAttribute( 'checked' , Boolean( flag)); }
attributeChangedCallback( name, oldValue, newValue) {
// name will always be "checked" due to observedAttributes
this . _internals. setFormValue( this . checked ? 'on' : null );
}
_onClick( event) {
this . checked = ! this . checked;
}
}
customElements. define( 'my-checkbox' , MyCheckbox);
You can use the custom element my-checkbox like a built-in
form-associated element. For example, putting it in formorlabel
associates the my-checkbox element with them, and submitting the
form will send data provided by my-checkbox implementation.
< form action = "..." method = "..." >
< label >< my-checkbox name = "agreed" ></ my-checkbox > I read the agreement.</ label >
< input type = "submit" >
</ form >
ElementInternals, your custom element can
have default accessibility semantics. The following code expands our form-associated checkbox from
the previous section to properly set its default role and checkedness, as viewed by accessibility
technology:
class MyCheckbox extends HTMLElement {
static formAssociated = true ;
static observedAttributes = [ 'checked' ];
constructor() {
super ();
this . _internals = this . attachInternals();
this . addEventListener( 'click' , this . _onClick. bind( this ));
this . _internals. role = 'checkbox' ;
this . _internals. ariaChecked = 'false' ;
}
get form() { return this . _internals. form; }
get name() { return this . getAttribute( 'name' ); }
get type() { return this . localName; }
get checked() { return this . hasAttribute( 'checked' ); }
set checked( flag) { this . toggleAttribute( 'checked' , Boolean( flag)); }
attributeChangedCallback( name, oldValue, newValue) {
// name will always be "checked" due to observedAttributes
this . _internals. setFormValue( this . checked ? 'on' : null );
this . _internals. ariaChecked = this . checked;
}
_onClick( event) {
this . checked = ! this . checked;
}
}
customElements. define( 'my-checkbox' , MyCheckbox);
Note that, like for built-in elements, these are only defaults, and can be overridden by the
page author using the role and aria-* attributes:
<!-- This markup is non-conforming -->
< input type = "checkbox" checked role = "button" aria-checked = "false" >
<!-- This markup is probably not what the custom element author intended -->
< my-checkbox role = "button" checked aria-checked = "false" >
Custom element authors are encouraged to state what aspects of their accessibility semantics
are strong native semantics, i.e., should not be overridden by users of the custom element. In our
example, the author of the my-checkbox element would state that its
role and aria-checked values are strong
native semantics, thus discouraging code such as the above.
plastic-button, which behaves like a normal button but gets fancy animation
effects added whenever you click on it. We start by defining a class, just like before, although
this time we extend HTMLButtonElement instead of HTMLElement:
class PlasticButton extends HTMLButtonElement {
constructor() {
super ();
this . addEventListener( "click" , () => {
// Draw some fancy animation effects!
});
}
}
When defining our custom element, we have to also specify the extends option:
customElements. define( "plastic-button" , PlasticButton, { extends : "button" });
In general, the name of the element being extended cannot be determined simply by looking at
what element interface it extends, as many elements share the same interface (such as
qand blockquote both sharing HTMLQuoteElement).
To construct our customized built-in element from parsed HTML source text, we use
the isattribute on a button element:
< button is = "plastic-button" > Click Me!</ button >
Trying to use a customized built-in element as an autonomous custom
element will not work; that is, <plastic-button>Click
me?</plastic-button> will simply create an HTMLElement with no special
behavior.
If you need to create a customized built-in element programmatically, you can use the following
form of createElement():
const plasticButton = document. createElement( "button" , { is: "plastic-button" });
plasticButton. textContent = "Click me!" ;
And as before, the constructor will also work:
const plasticButton2 = new PlasticButton();
console. log( plasticButton2. localName); // will output "button"
console. assert( plasticButton2 instanceof PlasticButton);
console. assert( plasticButton2 instanceof HTMLButtonElement);
Note that when creating a customized built-in element programmatically, the isattribute will not be present in the DOM, since it was not explicitly
set. However, it will be added to the output when
serializing:
console. assert( ! plasticButton. hasAttribute( "is" ));
console. log( plasticButton. outerHTML); // will output '<button is="plastic-button"></button>'
Regardless of how it is created, all of the ways in which button is special
apply to such "plastic buttons" as well: their focus behavior, ability to participate in form submission, the disabled attribute, and so on.
Customized built-in elements are designed to allow extension of existing HTML
elements that have useful user-agent supplied behavior or APIs. As such, they can only extend
existing HTML elements defined in this specification, and cannot extend legacy elements such as
bgsound, blink, isindex, keygen,
multicol, nextid, or spacer that have been defined to use
HTMLUnknownElement as their element interface.
One reason for this requirement is future-compatibility: if a customized built-in
element was defined that extended a currently-unknown element, for example combobox, this would prevent this specification from defining a combobox element in the future, as consumers of the derived customized
built-in element would have come to depend on their base element having no interesting
user-agent-supplied behavior.
taco-button does not mean that such elements represent buttons. That is, tools such as web browsers, search engines,
or accessibility technology will not automatically treat the resulting element as a button just
based on its defined name.
To convey the desired button semantics to a variety of users, while still using an
autonomous custom element, a number of techniques would need to be employed:
The addition of the tabindex attribute would make the
taco-button focusable. Note that if the
taco-button were to become logically disabled, the tabindex attribute would need to be removed.
The addition of an ARIA role and various ARIA states and properties helps convey semantics
to accessibility technology. For example, setting the role to "button" will convey the semantics that this is a button,
enabling users to successfully interact with the control using usual button-like interactions in
their accessibility technology. Setting the aria-label
property is necessary to give the button an accessible
name, instead of having accessibility technology traverse its child text nodes and
announce them. And setting the aria-disabled state to
"true" when the button is logically disabled conveys to accessibility
technology the button's disabled state.
The addition of event handlers to handle commonly-expected button behaviors helps convey
the semantics of the button to web browser users. In this case, the most relevant event handler
would be one that proxies appropriate keydown events to
become click events, so that you can activate the button both
with keyboard and by clicking.
In addition to any default visual styling provided for taco-button
elements, the visual styling will also need to be updated to reflect changes in logical state,
such as becoming disabled; that is, whatever style sheet has rules for taco-button will also need to have rules for taco-button[disabled].
With these points in mind, a full-featured taco-button that took on the
responsibility of conveying button semantics (including the ability to be disabled) might look
something like this:
class TacoButton extends HTMLElement {
static observedAttributes = [ "disabled" ];
constructor() {
super ();
this . _internals = this . attachInternals();
this . _internals. role = "button" ;
this . addEventListener( "keydown" , e=> {
if ( e. code === "Enter" || e. code === "Space" ) {
this . dispatchEvent( new PointerEvent( "click" , {
bubbles: true ,
cancelable: true
}));
}
});
this . addEventListener( "click" , e=> {
if ( this . disabled) { e. preventDefault(); e. stopImmediatePropagation();
}
});
this . _observer = new MutationObserver(() => {
this . _internals. ariaLabel = this . textContent;
});
}
connectedCallback() {
this . setAttribute( "tabindex" , "0" );
this . _observer. observe( this , {
childList: true ,
characterData: true ,
subtree: true
});
}
disconnectedCallback() {
this . _observer. disconnect();
}
get disabled() {
return this . hasAttribute( "disabled" );
}
set disabled( flag) {
this . toggleAttribute( "disabled" , Boolean( flag));
}
attributeChangedCallback( name, oldValue, newValue) {
// name will always be "disabled" due to observedAttributes
if ( this . disabled) {
this . removeAttribute( "tabindex" );
this . _internals. ariaDisabled = "true" ;
} else {
this . setAttribute( "tabindex" , "0" );
this . _internals. ariaDisabled = "false" ;
}
}
}
Even with this rather-complicated element definition, the element is not a pleasure to use for
consumers: it will be continually "sprouting" tabindex
attributes of its own volition, and its choice of tabindex="0" focusability
behavior may not match the button behavior on the current platform. This is because
as of now there is no way to specify default focus behavior for custom elements, forcing the use
of the tabindex attribute to do so (even though it is usually
reserved for allowing the consumer to override default behavior).
In contrast, a simple customized built-in element, as shown in the previous
section, would automatically inherit the semantics and behavior of the button
element, with no need to implement these behaviors manually. In general, for any elements with
nontrivial behavior and semantics that build on top of existing elements of HTML, customized built-in elements will be easier to
develop, maintain, and consume.
img-viewer is loaded
asynchronously:
<!DOCTYPE html>
< html lang = "en" >
< title > Image viewer example</ title >
< img-viewer filter = "Kelvin" >
< img src = "images/tree.jpg" alt = "A beautiful tree towering over an empty savannah" >
</ img-viewer >
< script src = "js/elements/img-viewer.js" async ></ script >
The definition for the img-viewer element here is loaded using a
script element marked with the async
attribute, placed after the <img-viewer> tag in the markup. While the
script is loading, the img-viewer element will be treated as an undefined
element, similar to a span. Once the script loads, it will define the img-viewer element, and the existing img-viewer element on
the page will be upgraded, applying the custom element's definition (which presumably includes
applying an image filter identified by the string "Kelvin", enhancing the image's visual
appearance).
<!DOCTYPE html>
< html lang = "en" >
< title > Upgrade edge-cases example</ title >
< example-element ></ example-element >
< script >
"use strict" ;
const inDocument = document. querySelector( "example-element" );
const outOfDocument = document. createElement( "example-element" );
// Before the element definition, both are HTMLElement:
console. assert( inDocument instanceof HTMLElement);
console. assert( outOfDocument instanceof HTMLElement);
class ExampleElement extends HTMLElement {}
customElements. define( "example-element" , ExampleElement);
// After element definition, the in-document element was upgraded:
console. assert( inDocument instanceof ExampleElement);
console. assert( ! ( outOfDocument instanceof ExampleElement));
document. body. appendChild( outOfDocument);
// Now that we've moved the element into the document, it too was upgraded:
console. assert( outOfDocument instanceof ExampleElement);
</ script >
CustomElementRegistry can be used in a scoped fashion as well.
const scoped = new CustomElementRegistry();
scoped. define( "example-element" , ExampleElement);
const element = document. createElement( "example-element" , { customElementRegistry: scoped });
A node with an associated scoped CustomElementRegistry will use that registry for
all its operations, such as when invoking setHTMLUnsafe().
:invalid
pseudo-class.
Like built-in elements, custom elements can have various
states to be in too, and custom element authors want to expose these states in a
similar fashion as the built-in elements.
This is done via the :state() pseudo-class. A custom
element author can use the states property of
ElementInternals to add and remove such custom states, which are then exposed as
arguments to the :state() pseudo-class.
The following shows how :state() can be used to style a
custom checkbox element. Assume that LabeledCheckbox doesn't expose its
"checked" state via a content attribute.
< script >
class LabeledCheckbox extends HTMLElement {
constructor() {
super ();
this . _internals = this . attachInternals();
this . addEventListener( 'click' , this . _onClick. bind( this ));
const shadowRoot = this . attachShadow({ mode: 'closed' });
shadowRoot. innerHTML =
`<style>
:host::before {
content: '[ ]';
white-space: pre;
font-family: monospace;
}
:host(:state(checked))::before { content: '[x]' }
</style>
<slot>Label</slot>` ;
}
get checked() { return this . _internals. states. has( 'checked' ); }
set checked( flag) {
if ( flag)
this . _internals. states. add( 'checked' );
else
this . _internals. states. delete ( 'checked' );
}
_onClick( event) {
this . checked = ! this . checked;
}
}
customElements. define( 'labeled-checkbox' , LabeledCheckbox);
</ script >
< style >
labeled-checkbox { border : dashed red ; }
labeled-checkbox : state ( checked ) { border : solid ; }
</ style >
< labeled-checkbox > You need to check this</ labeled-checkbox >
Custom pseudo-classes can even target shadow parts. An extension of the above example shows
this:
< script >
class QuestionBox extends HTMLElement {
constructor() {
super ();
const shadowRoot = this . attachShadow({ mode: 'closed' });
shadowRoot. innerHTML =
`<div><slot>Question</slot></div>
<labeled-checkbox part='checkbox'>Yes</labeled-checkbox>` ;
}
}
customElements. define( 'question-box' , QuestionBox);
</ script >
< style >
question-box :: part ( checkbox ) { color : red ; }
question-box :: part ( checkbox ) : state ( checked ) { color : green ; }
</ style >
< question-box > Continue?</ question-box >
super() must be the first statement in the
constructor body, to establish the correct prototype chain and this value before any
further code is run.
Areturn statement must not appear anywhere inside the constructor
body, unless it is a simple early-return (returnorreturn
this).
The constructor must not use the document.write()ordocument.open() methods.
The element's attributes and children must not be inspected, as in the non-upgrade case none will be present, and relying on
upgrades makes the element less usable.
The element must not gain any attributes or children, as this violates the expectations of
consumers who use the createElementorcreateElementNS methods.
In general, work should be deferred to connectedCallback as much as
possible—especially work involving fetching resources or rendering. However, note that connectedCallback can be called more than once, so any initialization work that
is truly one-time will need a guard to prevent it from running twice.
In general, the constructor should be used to set up initial state and default values, and
to set up event listeners and possibly a shadow root.
Several of these requirements are checked during element
creation, either directly or indirectly, and failing to follow them will result in a custom
element that cannot be instantiated by the parser or DOM APIs. This is true even if the work is
done inside a constructor-initiated microtask, as a microtask checkpoint can occur immediately after construction.
When authoring custom element reactions,
authors should avoid manipulating the node tree as this can lead to unexpected results.
An element's connectedCallback can be queued before the element is
disconnected, but as the callback queue is still processed, it results in a connectedCallback for an element that is no longer connected:
class CParent extends HTMLElement {
connectedCallback() {
this . firstChild. remove();
}
}
customElements. define( "c-parent" , CParent);
class CChild extends HTMLElement {
connectedCallback() {
console. log( "CChild connectedCallback: isConnected =" , this . isConnected);
}
}
customElements. define( "c-child" , CChild);
const parent = new CParent(),
child = new CChild();
parent. append( child);
document. body. append( parent);
// Logs:
// CChild connectedCallback: isConnected = false
disconnectedCallback" and "connectedCallback" would be called on the element, one after the other. This is
done to maintain compatibility with existing custom elements that predate the moveBefore() method. This means that by default, custom
elements reset their state as if they were removed and re-inserted. In the example above, the impact would be that the
observer would be disconnected and re-connected, and the tab index would be reset.
To opt in to a state-preserving behavior while moving, the author can implement a "connectedMoveCallback". The existence of this callback, even if empty, would
supersede the default behavior of calling "disconnectedCallback" and "connectedCallback". "connectedMoveCallback" can also be an
appropriate place to execute logic that depends on the element's ancestors. For example:
class TacoButton extends HTMLElement {
static observedAttributes = [ "disabled" ];
constructor() {
super ();
this . _internals = this . attachInternals();
this . _internals. role = "button" ;
this . _observer = new MutationObserver(() => {
this . _internals. ariaLabel = this . textContent;
});
}
_notifyMain() {
if ( this . parentElement. tagName === "MAIN" ) {
// Execute logic that depends on ancestors.
}
}
connectedCallback() {
this . setAttribute( "tabindex" , "0" );
this . _observer. observe( this , {
childList: true ,
characterData: true ,
subtree: true
});
this . _notifyMain();
}
disconnectedCallback() {
this . _observer. disconnect();
}
// Implementing this function would avoid resetting the tab index or re-registering the
// mutation observer when this element is moved inside the DOM without being disconnected.
connectedMoveCallback() {
// The parent can change during a state-preserving move.
this . _notifyMain();
}
}
extends option. These types of custom
elements have a local name equal to their defined name.
Acustomized built-in element, which is defined with an extends option. These types of custom
elements have a local name equal to the value passed in their extends option, and their defined name is used as the value of the
isattribute, which
therefore must be a valid custom element name.
After a custom elementiscreated,
changing the value of the isattribute does not
change the element's behavior, as it is saved on the element as its isvalue.
Autonomous custom elements have the following
element definition:
Categories:
Flow content.
Phrasing content.
Palpable content.
For form-associated custom elements: Listed, labelable, submittable, and resettable form-associated element.
Contexts in which this element can be used:
Where phrasing content is expected.
Content model:
Transparent.
Content attributes:
Global attributes, except the isattribute
form, for form-associated custom elements — Associates the element with a form element
disabled, for form-associated custom elements — Whether the form control is disabled
readonly, for form-associated custom elements — Affects willValidate, plus any behavior added by the custom element author
name, for form-associated custom elements — Name of the element to use for form submission and in the form.elements API
Any other attribute that has no namespace (see prose).
Accessibility considerations:
For form-associated custom elements: for authors; for implementers.
Otherwise: for authors; for implementers.
DOM interface:
Supplied by the element's author (inherits from HTMLElement)
Anautonomous custom element does not have any special meaning: it
represents its children. A customized built-in element inherits the
semantics of the element that it extends.
Any namespace-less attribute that is relevant to the element's functioning, as determined by
the element's author, may be specified on an autonomous custom element, so long as
the attribute name is a valid attribute local name and contains no ASCII upper alphas. The exception is the isattribute, which must not be specified on an autonomous custom
element (and which will have no effect if it is).
Customized built-in elements follow the
normal requirements for attributes, based on the elements they extend. To add custom
attribute-based behavior, use data-* attributes.
name attribute represents the form-associated
custom element's name. The disabled attribute is
used to make the form-associated custom element non-interactive and to prevent its
submission value from being submitted. The form attribute is used to explicitly associate the
form-associated custom element with its form owner.
The readonly attribute of form-associated custom elements specifies that the element is barred
from constraint validation. User agents don't provide any other behavior for the attribute,
but custom element authors should, where possible, use its presence to make their control
non-editable in some appropriate fashion, similar to the behavior for the readonly attribute on built-in form controls.
Constraint validation: If the readonly attribute is specified on a form-associated
custom element, the element is barred from constraint validation.
The reset algorithm for form-associated custom elements is to enqueue
a custom element callback reaction with the element, callback name "formResetCallback", and « ».

This ensures the HTML parser will treat the name as a tag name instead of as

Run the following steps while catching any exceptions:
Let prototype be ? Get(constructor,

Ifprototype is not an Object, then throw a

Let lifecycleCallbacks be the ordered map «[ "connectedCallback" → null, "disconnectedCallback" →
null, "adoptedCallback" → null, "connectedMoveCallback" → null, "attributeChangedCallback" → null ]».
For each callbackNameofthe keysoflifecycleCallbacks:
Let callbackValue be ? Get(prototype,
callbackName).
IfcallbackValue is not undefined, then set
lifecycleCallbacks[callbackName] to the result of converting callbackValue to the Web IDL Function callback type.
IflifecycleCallbacks["attributeChangedCallback"] is not
null:
Let observedAttributesIterable be ? Get(constructor, "observedAttributes").
IfobservedAttributesIterable is not undefined, then set
observedAttributes to the result of converting observedAttributesIterable to a
sequence<DOMString>. Rethrow any exceptions from the
conversion.
Let disabledFeatures be an empty sequence<DOMString>.
Let disabledFeaturesIterable be ? Get(constructor, "disabledFeatures").
IfdisabledFeaturesIterable is not undefined, then set
disabledFeatures to the result of converting disabledFeaturesIterable to a sequence<DOMString>. Rethrow any exceptions from the conversion.
IfdisabledFeatures contains "internals", then set disableInternals to true.
IfdisabledFeatures contains "shadow", then set disableShadow to true.
Let formAssociatedValue be ? Get(
constructor, "formAssociated").
Set formAssociated to the result of converting formAssociatedValue to a boolean.
IfformAssociated is true, then for each callbackName of « "formAssociatedCallback", "formResetCallback", "formDisabledCallback", "formStateRestoreCallback"
»:
Let callbackValue be ? Get(prototype,
callbackName).
IfcallbackValue is not undefined, then set
lifecycleCallbacks[callbackName] to the result of converting callbackValue to the Web IDL Function callback type.
Then, regardless of whether the above steps threw an exception or not: set

Finally, if the steps threw an exception, rethrow that exception.

Append definitiontothis's

Ifthis's is scoped is true, then for each documentofthis's scoped document set: upgrade particular elements within
a document given this, document, definition, and
localName.
Otherwise, upgrade particular elements within a document given
this, this's relevant global object's associated Document, definition,
localName, and name.
Ifthis's when-defined promise map[name] exists:
Resolve this's when-defined promise map[name] with
constructor.
Remove this's when-defined promise
map[name].
Toupgrade particular elements within a document given a
CustomElementRegistry object registry, a Document object

Let upgradeCandidates be all elements that are shadow-including descendantsofdocument, whose custom element registryisregistry,
whose namespace is the HTML namespace, and whose local name is localName,
in shadow-including tree order. Additionally, if name is not
localName, only include elements whose isvalue is equal to name.
For each element elementofupgradeCandidates: enqueue a
custom element upgrade reaction given element and
definition.
The get(name) method steps are:
Ifthis's custom element definition set contains an item with name name, then return that
item's constructor.
Return undefined.
CustomElementRegistry/getName
Firefox116+Safari🔰 preview+Chrome117+getName(constructor) method
steps are:
Ifthis's custom element definition set contains an item with constructor
constructor, then return that item's name.
Return null.
The whenDefined(name) method
steps are:
Ifname is not a valid custom element name, then return a
promise rejected witha"SyntaxError"
DOMException.
Ifthis's custom element definition set contains an item with name name, then return a
promise resolved with that item's constructor.
Ifthis's when-defined promise map[name] does not
exist, then set
this's when-defined promise map[name] to a new
promise.
Return this's when-defined promise
map[name].
The whenDefined() method can be
used to avoid performing an action until all appropriate custom
elements are defined. In this example, we
combine it with the :defined pseudo-class to hide a
dynamically-loaded article's contents until we're sure that all of the autonomous custom elements it uses are defined.
articleContainer. hidden = true ;
fetch( articleURL)
. then( response => response. text())
. then( text => {
articleContainer. innerHTML = text;
return Promise. all(
[... articleContainer. querySelectorAll( ":not(:defined)" )]
. map( el=> customElements. whenDefined( el. localName))
);
})
. then(() => {
articleContainer. hidden = false ;
});
The upgrade(root) method steps
are:
For each shadow-including inclusive descendant candidateofroot, in shadow-including tree order:
Ifcandidate is not an Element node, then
continue.
Ifcandidate's custom element
registry is not this, then continue.
Try to upgrade candidate.
The upgrade() method allows upgrading
of elements at will. Normally elements are automatically upgraded when they become
connected, but this method can be used if you need to upgrade before you're ready to
connect the element.
const el= document. createElement( "spider-man" );
class SpiderMan extends HTMLElement {}
customElements. define( "spider-man" , SpiderMan);
console. assert( ! ( elinstanceof SpiderMan)); // not yet upgraded
customElements. upgrade( el);
console. assert( elinstanceof SpiderMan); // upgraded!
The initialize(root) method
steps are:
Ifthis's is scoped is false and either root is a
Document node or root's node document's custom element registry is not
this, then throw a "NotSupportedError"
DOMException.
Ifroot is a Document node whose custom element registry is null, then set
root's custom element registrytothis.
Otherwise, if root is a ShadowRoot node whose custom element registry is null, then set
root's custom element
registrytothis.
For each inclusive descendant inclusiveDescendantofroot,
in tree order:
IfinclusiveDescendant is not an Element node, then
continue.
IfinclusiveDescendant's custom
element registry is null:
Set inclusiveDescendant's custom element registrytothis.
Ifthis's is scoped is true, then append inclusiveDescendant's node documenttothis's scoped document set.
IfinclusiveDescendant's custom element registry is not
this, then continue.
Try to upgrade
inclusiveDescendant.
Once the custom element registry of a node is initialized to a
CustomElementRegistry object, it intentionally cannot be changed any further. This
simplifies reasoning about code and allows implementations to optimize.
undefined" or "uncustomized", then return.
One scenario where this can occur due to reentrant invocation of this algorithm, as in the
following example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
< x-foo id = "a" ></ x-foo >
< x-foo id = "b" ></ x-foo >
< script >
// Defining enqueues upgrade reactions for both "a" and "b"
customElements. define( "x-foo" , class extends HTMLElement {
constructor() {
super ();
const b= document. querySelector( "#b" ); b. remove();
// While this constructor is running for "a", "b" is still
// undefined, and so inserting it into the document will enqueue a
// second upgrade reaction for "b" in addition to the one enqueued
// by defining x-foo.
document. body. appendChild( b);
}
})
</ script >
This step will thus bail out the algorithm early when upgrade an element is invoked
with "b" a second time.
Set element's custom
element definitiontodefinition.
Set element's custom element state to "failed".
It will be set to "custom" after the upgrade succeeds. For now,
we set it to "failed" so that any reentrant invocations will hit the above early-exit step.
For each attributeinelement's attribute list, in
order, enqueue a custom element callback reaction with element, callback
name "attributeChangedCallback", and « attribute's local name,
null, attribute's value, attribute's namespace ».
Ifelementisconnected, then enqueue a custom element
callback reaction with element, callback name "connectedCallback", and « ».
Add element to the end of definition's construction stack.
Let Cbedefinition's constructor.
Set the surrounding agent's active custom
element constructor map[C] to element's custom element registry.
Run the following steps while catching any exceptions:
Ifdefinition's disable shadow is true and
element's shadow root is
non-null, then throw a "NotSupportedError"
DOMException.
This is needed as attachShadow() does not use look up a custom
element definition while attachInternals()
does.
Set element's custom element state to "precustomized".
Let constructResult be the result of constructing C, with no
arguments.
IfCnon-conformantly
uses an API decorated with the [CEReactions] extended
attribute, then the reactions enqueued at the beginning of this algorithm will execute during
this step, before Cfinishes and control returns to this algorithm. Otherwise, they
will execute after Cand the rest of the upgrade process finishes.
IfSameValue(constructResult, element) is false, then
throw a TypeError.
This can occur if Cconstructs another instance of the same custom
element before calling super(), or if Cuses JavaScript's
return-override feature to return an arbitrary HTMLElement
object from the constructor.
Then, perform the following steps, regardless of whether the above steps threw an exception
or not:
Remove the surrounding agent's active
custom element constructor map[C].
This is a no-op if Cimmediately calls super() as it ought to do.
Remove the last entry from the end of definition's construction stack.
Assuming Ccalls super() (as it will if it is conformant), and that the call succeeds, this will be
the already
constructed marker that replaced the element we pushed at the beginning
of this algorithm. (The HTML element constructor
carries out this replacement.)
IfCdoes not call super() (i.e. it is not conformant), or if any step in the HTML element constructor throws, then this entry will
still be element.
Finally, if the above steps threw an exception, then:
Set element's custom
element definition to null.
Empty element's custom element reaction queue.
Rethrow the exception (thus terminating this algorithm).
If the above steps threw an exception, then element's custom
element state will remain "failed" or "precustomized".
Ifelement is a form-associated custom element, then:
Reset the form ownerofelement. If element is
associated with a form element, then
enqueue a custom element callback reaction with element, callback
name "formAssociatedCallback", and « the associated form
».
Ifelementisdisabled, then
enqueue a custom element callback reaction with element, callback name
"formDisabledCallback", and « true ».
Set element's custom
element state to "custom".
Totry to upgrade an element given an element
element:
Let definition be the result of looking up a custom element definition given element's custom element registry, element's
namespace, element's local name, and element's isvalue.
Ifdefinition is not null, then enqueue a custom element upgrade
reaction given element and definition.
connectedCallback is
called, with no arguments.
When it becomes disconnected, its disconnectedCallback
is called, with no arguments.
When it is moved, its connectedMoveCallback is called, with no arguments.
When it is adopted into a new document, its adoptedCallback is called, given the old document and new document as
arguments.
When any of its attributes are changed, appended, removed, or replaced, its attributeChangedCallback is called, given the attribute's local name, old value,
new value, and namespace as arguments. (An attribute's old or new value is considered to be null
when the attribute is added or removed, respectively.)
When the user agent resets the form owner of a
form-associated custom element and doing so changes the form owner, its formAssociatedCallback is called, given the new form owner (or null if no owner)
as an argument.
When the form owner of a form-associated custom elementisreset, its formResetCallback is
called.
When the disabled state of a
form-associated custom element is changed, its formDisabledCallback is called, given the new state as an
argument.
When the user agent updates a form-associated custom element's value on behalf of
a user or as part of navigation, its formStateRestoreCallback is called, given the new state and a string indicating
a reason, "autocomplete" or "restore", as
arguments.
We call these reactions collectively custom
element reactions.
The way in which custom element reactions
are invoked is done with special care, to avoid running author code during the middle of delicate
operations. Effectively, they are delayed until "just before returning to user script". This means
that for most purposes they appear to execute synchronously, but in the case of complicated
composite operations (like cloning, or range manipulation), they will instead be delayed until after all
the relevant user agent processing steps have completed, and then run together as a batch.
Additionally, the precise ordering of these reactions is managed via a
somewhat-complicated stack-of-queues system, described below. The intention behind this system is
to guarantee that custom element reactions always are invoked in the
same order as their triggering actions, at least within the local context of a single custom
element. (Because custom element
reaction code can perform its own mutations, it is not possible to give a global ordering
guarantee across multiple elements.)
[CEReactions], or through the parser's
create an element for the token algorithm. An example of this is a user-initiated
editing operation which modifies the descendants or attributes of an editable
element. To prevent reentrancy when processing the backup element queue, each
custom element reactions stack also has a processing the backup element
queue flag, initially unset.
All elements have an associated custom element reaction queue, initially empty. Each
item in the custom element reaction queue is of one of two types:
Anupgrade reaction, which will upgrade the custom element and contains a custom
element definition; or
Acallback reaction, which will call a lifecycle callback, and contains a
callback function as well as a list of arguments.
This is all summarized in the following schematic diagram:
connectedMoveCallback" and
callback is null:
Let disconnectedCallback be the value of the entry in definition's
lifecycle callbacks
with key "disconnectedCallback".
Let connectedCallback be the value of the entry in definition's
lifecycle callbacks
with key "connectedCallback".
IfconnectedCallback and disconnectedCallback are null, then
return.
Set callback to the following steps:
IfdisconnectedCallback is not null, then call
disconnectedCallback with no arguments.
IfconnectedCallback is not null, then call connectedCallback
with no arguments.
Ifcallback is null, then return.
IfcallbackName is "attributeChangedCallback":
Let attributeName be the first element of args.
Ifdefinition's observed attributes does
not contain attributeName, then return.
Add a new callback reactiontoelement's custom element
reaction queue, with callback function callback and arguments
args.
Enqueue an element on the appropriate element queue given
element.
Toenqueue a custom element upgrade reaction, given an element
element and custom element definition definition, run the
following steps:
Add a new upgrade reactiontoelement's custom element
reaction queue, with custom element definition
definition.
Enqueue an element on the appropriate element queue given
element.
Toinvoke custom element reactions in an element queue
queue, run the following steps:
While queue is not empty:
Let element be the result of dequeuing
from queue.
Let reactionsbeelement's custom element reaction
queue.
Repeat until reactions is empty:
Remove the first element of reactions, and let reaction be that
element. Switch on reaction's type:
upgrade reaction
Upgrade element using
reaction's custom element definition.
If this throws an exception, catch it, and report it for reaction's custom element
definition's constructor's corresponding
JavaScript object's associated realm's global object.
callback reaction
Invoke reaction's
callback function with reaction's arguments and "report", and callback this value
set to element.
[CEReactions] IDL extended attribute. It
indicates that the relevant algorithm is to be supplemented with additional steps in order to
appropriately track and invoke custom element
reactions.
The [CEReactions] extended attribute must take no
arguments, and must not appear on anything other than an operation, attribute, setter, or deleter.
Additionally, it must not appear on readonly attributes.
Operations, attributes, setters, or deleters annotated with the [CEReactions] extended attribute must run the following steps in place
of the ones specified in their description:
Push a new element queue onto this object's
relevant agent's custom element reactions stack.
Run the originally-specified steps for this construct, catching any exceptions. If the
steps return a value, let value be the returned value. If they throw an exception, let
exception be the thrown exception.
Let queue be the result of popping from this
object's relevant agent's custom element reactions stack.
Invoke custom element reactionsinqueue.
If an exception exception was thrown by the original steps, rethrow
exception.
If a value value was returned from the original steps, return
value.
The intent behind this extended attribute is somewhat subtle. One way of accomplishing its
goals would be to say that every operation, attribute, setter, and deleter on the platform
must have these steps inserted, and to allow implementers to optimize away
unnecessary cases (where no DOM mutation is possible that could cause custom element reactions to occur).
However, in practice this imprecision could lead to non-interoperable implementations of custom element reactions, as some implementations
might forget to invoke these steps in some cases. Instead, we settled on the approach of
explicitly annotating all relevant IDL constructs, as a way of ensuring interoperable behavior
and helping implementations easily pinpoint all cases where these steps are necessary.
Any nonstandard APIs introduced by the user agent that could modify the DOM in such a way as to
cause enqueuing a custom element
callback reactionorenqueuing a
custom element upgrade reaction, for example by modifying any attributes or child elements,
must also be decorated with the [CEReactions] attribute.
As of the time of this writing, the following nonstandard or not-yet-standardized APIs are
known to fall into this category:
HTMLInputElement's webkitdirectory and incremental IDL attributes
HTMLLinkElement's scope IDL attribute
element.attachInternals() method, which returns an instance of
ElementInternals. The properties and methods of ElementInternals allow
control over internal features which the user agent provides to all elements.
element.attachInternals()
Returns an ElementInternals object targeting the custom element
element. Throws an exception if element is not a custom
element, if the "internals" feature was disabled as part of the
element definition, or if it is called twice on the same element.
Each HTMLElement has an attached internals (null or an
ElementInternals object), initially null.

Each ElementInternals has a target element,
which is a custom element.

internals.setFormValue(value)
Sets both the state and submission valueofinternals's target elementtovalue.
Ifvalue is null, the element won't participate in form submission.

Sets the submission valueofinternals's target elementtovalue, and its statetostate.
Ifvalue is null, the element won't participate in form submission.
internals.form
Returns the form ownerofinternals's target element.
internals.setValidity(flags,
message [, anchor ])
Marks internals's target element as
suffering from the constraints indicated by the flags argument, and sets the element's
validation message to message. If anchor is specified, the user agent might
use it to indicate problems with the constraints of internals's target element when the form owner is validated
interactively or reportValidity() is
called.
internals.setValidity({})
Marks internals's target elementassatisfying its constraints.
internals.willValidate
Returns true if internals's target
element will be validated when the form is submitted; false otherwise.
internals.validity
Returns the ValidityState object for internals's target element.
internals.validationMessage
Returns the error message that would be shown to the user if internals's target element was to be checked for validity.
valid = internals.checkValidity()
Returns true if internals's target
element has no validity problems; false otherwise. Fires an invalid event at the element in the latter case.
valid = internals.reportValidity()
Returns true if internals's target
element has no validity problems; otherwise, returns false, fires an invalid event at the element, and (if the event isn't canceled)
reports the problem to the user.
internals.labels
Returns a NodeList of all the label elements that
internals's target element is associated
with.
Each form-associated custom element has submission value. It is used to provide one or more
entries on form submission.
The initial value of submission value is null, and
submission value can be null, a string, a
File, or a listofentries.
Each form-associated custom element has state.
It is information with which the user agent can restore a user's input for the element.
The initial value of state is null, and state can be null, a string, a File, or a
listofentries.
The setFormValue() method is used by
the custom element author to set the element's submission
value and state, thus communicating these to the user
agent.
When the user agent believes it is a good idea to restore a form-associated custom
element's state, for example after navigation or restarting the user agent, they may enqueue a
custom element callback reaction with that element, callback name "formStateRestoreCallback", and « the state to be restored, "restore" ».
If the user agent has a form-filling assist feature, then when the feature is invoked, it may
enqueue a custom element callback reaction with a form-associated custom
element, callback name "formStateRestoreCallback", and « the state
value determined by history of state value and some heuristics, "autocomplete" ».
In general, the state is information specified by a user, and
the submission value is a value after canonicalization
or sanitization, suitable for submission to the server. The following examples makes this
concrete:
Suppose that we have a form-associated custom element which asks a
user to specify a date. The user specifies "3/15/2019", but the control wishes to
submit "2019-03-15" to the server. "3/15/2019" would be a state of the element, and "2019-03-15" would be
a submission value.
Suppose you develop a custom element emulating a the behavior of the existing
checkbox input type. Its submission value would be the value of its value content attribute, or the string "on". Its state would be one of "checked", "unchecked", "checked/indeterminate", or "unchecked/indeterminate".

The entry construction algorithm for a
form-associated custom element, given an element element and an
entry list entry list, consists of the following steps:
Ifelement's submission value is a
listofentries, then append each item of element's submission valuetoentry list, and return.
In this case, user agent does not refer to the
name content attribute value. An implementation of
form-associated custom element is responsible to decide names of
entries. They can be the
name content attribute value, they can be strings based on
the name content attribute value, or they can be unrelated
to the name content attribute.
If the element does not have a name attribute
specified, or its name attribute's value is the empty string,
then return.
If the element's submission value is not
null, create an entry with the name attribute
value and the submission value, and append it to entry list.
internals.role [ = value ]
Sets or retrieves the default ARIA role for internals's target element, which will be used unless the page author

Each custom element has a states set, which is a
CustomStateSet, initially empty.
[Exposed =Window ]
interface CustomStateSet {

The states getter steps are to return
this's target element's states
set.
The states set can expose boolean states represented by existence/non-existence
of string values. If an author wants to expose a state which can have three values, it can be
converted to three exclusive boolean states. For example, a state called readyState with "loading", "interactive", and "complete" values can be mapped to
three exclusive boolean states, "loading", "interactive", and "complete":
// Change the readyState from anything to "complete".
this . _readyState = "complete" ;
