I’ve been trying to make a custom HTML Element by extending the HTMLElement
class. I try adding some style to it by linking a CSS file that is in the same directory as my other two files – index.html
and custom.css
.
Main folder
- index.html
- custom.css
- custom.js
index.html
:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
<link rel="nofollow" type="text/css" href=''>
</head>
<body>
<script src="./custom.js"></script>
<smooth-button text="Smooth button" no-1 = 1 no-2 = 2></smooth-button>
</body>
</html>
custom.css
:
smooth-button{
display: block;
color: blue;
background-color: orange;
}
custom.js
:
class SmoothButton extends HTMLElement{
constructor(){
super();
this.shadow = this.attachShadow({mode: "open"})
}
connectedCallback(){
this.render();
}
render(){
this.SumOfNo1AndNo2 = null;
if(this.getAttribute("no-1")!=null && this.getAttribute("no-2")!=null){
this.SumOfNo1AndNo2 = parseInt(this.getAttribute("no-1")) +
parseInt(this.getAttribute("no-2"));
}
else{
console.log("Invalid attribute.")
}
this.shadow.innerHTML = `<button>` + this.getAttribute("text") + " " + this.SumOfNo1AndNo2
+ "</button>"
}
}
customElements.define("smooth-button", SmoothButton);
With this, I get a button as expected, with the text, but the style is applied to the element as a whole and not to the elements it’s made of. How can I apply the styles separately to each of its elements (just a <button>
for now) with an external CSS file? I’m using external CSS because it’s somehow better as I read it here.
