<div>{{APIRef("Shadow DOM")}}</div>


<p>La propiedad de solo lectura 'Element.shadowRoot' representa el shadow root alojado por el elemento. Use {{DOMxRef("Element.attachShadow()")}} para agregar un shadow root a un elemento existente.</p>

<h2 id="Syntax" name="Syntax">Syntax</h2>

<pre class="syntaxbox">var <em>shadowroot =</em><em> element</em>.shadowRoot;
</pre>

<h3 id="Value">Value</h3>

<p>A {{DOMxRef("ShadowRoot")}} object instance, or <code>null</code> if the associated shadow root was attached with its {{DOMxRef("ShadowRoot.mode", "mode")}} set to <code>closed</code>. (See {{DOMxRef("Element.attachShadow()")}} for further details).</p>

<h2 id="Examples">Examples</h2>

<p>The following snippets are taken from our <a href="https://github.com/mdn/web-components-examples/tree/master/life-cycle-callbacks">life-cycle-callbacks</a> example (<a href="https://mdn.github.io/web-components-examples/life-cycle-callbacks">see it live also</a>), which creates an element that displays a square of a size and color specified in the element's attributes.</p>

<p>Inside the <code>&lt;custom-square&gt;</code> element's class definition we include some life cycle callbacks that make a call to an external function, <code>updateStyle()</code>, which actually applies the size and color to the element. You'll see that we are passing it <code>this</code> (the custom element itself) as a parameter.</p>

<pre class="brush: js">connectedCallback() {
  console.log('Custom square element added to page.');
  updateStyle(this);
}

attributeChangedCallback(name, oldValue, newValue) {
  console.log('Custom square element attributes changed.');
  updateStyle(this);
}</pre>

<p>In the <code>updateStyle()</code> function itself, we get a reference to the shadow DOM using {{domxref("Element.shadowRoot")}}. From here we use standard DOM traversal techniques to find the {{htmlelement("style")}} element inside the shadow DOM and then update the CSS found inside it:</p>

<pre class="brush: js">function updateStyle(elem) {
  const shadow = elem.shadowRoot;
  const childNodes = Array.from(shadow.childNodes);

  childNodes.forEach(childNode =&gt; {
    if (childNode.nodeName === 'STYLE') {
      childNode.textContent = `
        div {
          width: ${elem.getAttribute('l')}px;
          height: ${elem.getAttribute('l')}px;
          background-color: ${elem.getAttribute('c')};
        }
      `;
    }
  });
}</pre>
