ShadyCSS

ShadyCSS provides a library to simulate ShadowDOM style encapsulation (ScopingShim), a shim for the proposed CSS mixin @apply syntax (ApplyShim), and a library to integrate document-level stylesheets with both of the former libraries (CustomStyleInterface).

Requirements

ShadyCSS requires support for the <template> element, ShadowDOM, MutationObserver, Promise, and Object.assign

Loading

ShadyCSS can be used by loading the ScopingShim, ApplyShim, CustomStyleInterface, or any combination of those.

The most-supported loading order is:

  1. ScopingShim
  2. ApplyShim
  3. CustomStyleInterface

Interacting

Import the @webcomponents/shadycss module to interact with ShadyCSS. Note this module does not load the polyfill, instead this module is used to interact with ShadyCSS if the polyfill is loaded, and is safe to use whether or not ShadyCSS is loaded.

Legacy global API

There is also a legacy global API exposed on window.ShadyCSS. Prefer use of the @webcomponents/shadycss module described above.

ShadyCSS = {
  prepareTemplate(templateElement, elementName, elementExtension) {},
  styleElement(element) {},
  styleSubtree(element, overrideProperties) {},
  styleDocument(overrideProperties) {},
  getComputedStyleValue(element, propertyName) {},
  nativeCss: Boolean,
  nativeShadow: Boolean,
};

About ScopingShim

ScopingShim provides simulated ShadyDOM style encapsulation, and a shim for CSS Custom Properties.

ScopingShim works by rewriting style contents and transforming selectors to enforce scoping. Additionally, if CSS Custom Properties is not detected, ScopingShim will replace CSS Custom Property usage with realized values.

Example:

Here's an example of a custom element when Scoping Shim is not needed.

<my-element>
  <!-- shadow-root -->
  <style>
    :host {
      display: block;
    }
    #container slot::slotted(*) {
      color: gray;
    }
    #foo {
      color: black;
    }
  </style>
  <div id="foo">Shadow</div>
  <div id="container">
    <slot>
      <!-- span distributed here -->
    </slot>
  </div>
  <!-- /shadow-root -->
  <span>Light</span>
</my-element>

becomes:

<style scope="my-element">
  my-element {
    display: block;
  }
  my-element#container > * {
    color: gray;
  }
  my-element#foo {
    color: black;
  }
</style>
<my-element>
  <div id="foo">Shadow</div>
  <div id="container">
    <span>Light</span>
  </div>
</my-element>

About ApplyShim

ApplyShim provides a shim for the @apply syntax proposed at https://tabatkins.github.io/specs/css-apply-rule/, which expands the definition CSS Custom Properties to include objects that can be applied as a block.

This is done by transforming the block definition into a set of CSS Custom Properties, and replacing uses of @apply with consumption of those custom properties.

Status:

The @apply proposal has been abandoned in favor of the ::part/::theme Shadow Parts spec. Therefore, the ApplyShim library is deprecated and provided only for backwards compatibility. Support going forward will be limited to critical bug fixes.

Known Issues:

  • Mixin properties cannot be modified at runtime.

  • Nested mixins are not supported.

  • Shorthand properties are not expanded and may conflict with more explicit properties. Whenever shorthand notations are used in conjunction with their expanded forms in @apply, depending in the order of usage of the mixins, properties can be overridden. This means that using both background-color: green; and background: red; in two separate CSS selectors can result in background-color: transparent in the selector that background: red; is specified.

    #nonexistent {
      --my-mixin: {
        background: red;
      }
    }
    

    with an element style definition of

    :host {
      display: block;
      background-color: green;
      @apply (--my-mixin);
    }
    

    results in the background being transparent, as an empty background definition replaces the @apply definition.

    For this reason, we recommend avoiding shorthand properties.

Example:

Here we define a block called --mixin at the document level, and apply that block to my-element somewhere in the page.

html {
  --mixin: {
    border: 2px solid black;
    background-color: green;
  }
}

my-element {
  border: 1px dotted orange;
  @apply --mixin;
}

becomes:

html {
  --mixin_-_border: 2px solid black;
  --mixin_-_background-color: green;
}

my-element {
  border: var(--mixin_-_border, 1px dotted orange);
  background-color: var(--mixin_-_background-color);
}

About CustomStyleInterface

CustomStyleInterface provides API to process <style> elements that are not inside of ShadowRoots, and simulate upper-boundary style scoping for ShadyDOM.

To add document-level styles to ShadyCSS, one can call CustomStyleInterface.addCustomStyle(styleElement) or CustomStyleInterface.addCustomStyle({getStyle: () => styleElement})

An example usage of the document-level styling api can be found in examples/document-style-lib.js, and another example that uses a custom element wrapper can be found in examples/custom-style-element.js

Example:

<style class="document-style">
  html {
    --content-color: brown;
  }
</style>
<my-element>This text will be brown!</my-element>
<script>
  CustomStyleInterface.addCustomStyle(
    document.querySelector('style.document-style')
  );
</script>

Another example with a wrapper <custom-style> element

<custom-style>
  <style>
    html {
      --content-color: brown;
    }
  </style>
</custom-style>
<script>
  class CustomStyle extends HTMLElement {
    constructor() {
      CustomStyleInterface.addCustomStyle(this);
    }
    getStyle() {
      return this.querySelector('style');
    }
  }
</script>
<my-element>This this text will be brown!</my-element>

Another example with a function that produces style elements

<my-element>This this text will be brown!</my-element>
<script>
  CustomStyleInterface.addCustomStyle({
    getStyle() {
      const s = document.createElement('style');
      s.textContent = 'html{ --content-color: brown }';
      return s;
    },
  });
</script>

Usage

To use ShadyCSS:

  1. Import the ShadyCSS interface module. (Note that this module does not load the polyfill itself, rather it provides functions for interfacing with ShadyCSS if it is loaded.)

    import * as shadyCss from '@webcomponents/shadycss';
    
  2. First, call shadyCss.prepareTemplate(template, name) on a <template> element that will be imported into a shadowRoot.

  3. When the element instance is connected, call shadyCss.styleElement(element).

  4. Create and stamp the element's shadowRoot.

  5. Whenever dynamic updates are required, call shadyCss.styleSubtree(element).

  6. If a styling change is made that may affect the whole document, call shadyCss.styleSubtree(document.documentElement).

The following example uses ShadyCSS and ShadyDOM to define a custom element.

<template id="myElementTemplate">
  <style>
    :host {
      display: block;
      padding: 8px;
    }

    #content {
      background-color: var(--content-color);
    }

    .slot-container ::slotted(*) {
      border: 1px solid steelblue;
      margin: 4px;
    }
  </style>
  <div id="content">Content</div>
  <div class="slot-container">
    <slot></slot>
  </div>
</template>
<script type="module">
  import * as shadyCss from '@webcomponents/shadycss';

  const myElementTemplate = document.body.querySelector('#myElementTemplate');
  shadyCss.prepareTemplate(myElementTemplate, 'my-element');

  class MyElement extends HTMLElement {
    connectedCallback() {
      shadyCSS.styleElement(this);
      if (!this.shadowRoot) {
        this.attachShadow({mode: 'open'});
        this.shadowRoot.appendChild(
          document.importNode(myElementTemplate.content, true)
        );
      }
    }
  }

  customElements.define('my-element', MyElement);
</script>

Imperative values for Custom properties

To set the value of a CSS Custom Property imperatively, use the styleSubtree function from the @webcomponents/shadycss module. This function supports an additional argument of an object mapping variable name to value, and works whether or not ShadyCSS is loaded.

When using ApplyShim, defining new mixins or new values for current mixins imperatively is not supported.

Example

<my-element id="a">Text</my-element>
<my-element>Text</my-element>

<script type="module">
  import * as shadyCSS from '@webcomponents/shadycss';

  const el = document.querySelector('my-element#a');
  // Set the color of all my-element instances to 'green'
  shadyCss.styleSubtree(document.documentElement, {'--content-color': 'green'});
  // Set the color my-element#a's text to 'red'
  shadyCss.styleSubtree(el, {'--content-color': 'red'});
</script>

Limitations

Selector scoping

You must have a selector for ascendants of the <slot> element when using the ::slotted pseudo-element.

You cannot use any selector for the <slot> element. Rules like .foo .bar::slotted(*) are not supported.

Custom properties and @apply

Dynamic changes are not automatically applied. If elements change such that they conditionally match selectors they did not previously, styleElement(document.documentElement) must be called.

For a given element's shadowRoot, only 1 value is allowed per custom properties. Properties cannot change from parent to child as they can under native custom properties; they can only change when a shadowRoot boundary is crossed.

To receive a custom property, an element must directly match a selector that defines the property in its host's stylesheet.

<custom-style> Flash of unstyled content

If applyStyle is never called, <custom-style> elements will process after HTML Imports have loaded, after the document loads, or after the next paint. This means that there may be a flash of unstyled content on the first load.

Mixins do not cascade throught <slot>

Crawling the DOM and updating styles is very expensive, and we found that trying to update mixins through <slot> insertion points to be too expensive to justify for both polyfilled CSS Mixins and polyfilled CSS Custom Properties.

External stylesheets not currently supported

External stylesheets loaded via <link rel="stylesheet"> within a shadow root or @import syntax inside a shadow root's stylesheet are not currently shimmed by the polyfill. This is mainly due to the fact that shimming them would require a fetch of the stylesheet text that is async cannot be easily coordinated with the upgrade timing of custom elements using them, making it impossible to avoid "flash of unstyled content" when running on polyfill.

Document level styling is not scoped by default

ShadyCSS mimics the behavior of shadow dom, but it is not able to prevent document level styling to affect elements inside a shady dom. Global styles defined in index.html or any styles not processed by ShadyCSS will affect all elements on the page.

To scope document level styling, the style must be wrapped in the <custom-style> element found in Polymer, or use the CustomStyleInterface library to modify document level styles.

Dynamically created styles are not supported

ShadyCSS works by processing a template for a given custom element class. Only the style elements present in that template will be scoped for the custom element's ShadowRoot.
