Shadow DOM?

by shiawuen

How is existing templating done?

	  <div id="Tmpl" class="hide">
	    <header></header>
	    <section></section>
	  <div>
						

Problems? Yes!

  • Multiple CSS resets
  • Big project always end up with bad CSS, say !important
  • CSS class namespace collision
  • Some evil code often screw you up, e.g.
      /* Real example! */
      form dd * {
        position: absolute;
        some: other;
        weird: property;
      }
    							

Meh...

Shadow DOM come to the rescue?

What is that?

Let's try it out!

change me
  var root = document.querySelector('#change-me').webkitCreateShadowRoot();
  root.textContent = 'Hello World!';
  root.innerHTML = '';
  root.innerHTML = '/o/\\o\\';
