How to query elements within shadow DOM from outside in Dart?
How can I select nodes within shadow DOM? Consider the following example:
structure of "unshadowed" DOM
<app-element>
#shadow-root
<h2></h2>
<content>
#outside shadow
<h2></h2>
</content>
<ui-button>
#shadow-root
<h2></h2>
</ui-button>
</app-element>
index.html
<body>
<app-element>
<!-- OK: querySelect('app-element').querySelect('h2') -->
<!-- OK: querySelect('app-element h2') -->
<!-- There is no problem to select it -->
<h2>app-element > content > h2</h2>
</app-element>
</body>
templates.html
<polymer-element name="ui-button" noscript>
<template>
<!-- FAIL: querySelect('app-element::shadow ui-button::shadow h2') -->
<h2>app-element > ui-button > h2</h2>
</template>
</polymer-element>
<polymer-element name="app-element" noscript>
<template>
<!-- FAIL: querySelect('app-element::shadow').querySelect('h2') -->
<!-- FAIL: querySelect('app-element::shadow h2') -->
<!-- FAIL: querySelect('app-element').shadowRoot.querySelect('h2') -->
<h2>app-element > h2</h2>
<content></content>
<ui-button></ui-button>
</template>
</polymer-element>
In comments like "OK: querySelect()" I show selectors I've tried to run from outside any shadowed DOM.
I've already read the following article: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webcomponents/shadowdom-201/?redirect_from_locale=ru and based on the fact that it was said in the article, query like: document.querySelector('app-element::shadow h2'); in JS should work as expected. However in Dart it doesn't work.
What do I wrong?
Answer
Pseudo selector ::shadow and combinator /deep/ doesn't work on firefox.
Use .shadowRoot
var shadowroot = app-element.shadowRoot;
shadowroot.querySelector('h2');
