Document.registerElement()

Метод Document.registerElement() регистрирует новый кастомный элемент (custom element) в браузере и возвращает конструктор для этого нового элемента.

Syntax

var constructor = document.registerElement(tag-name, options);

Parameters

tag-name

Имя кастомного элемента. Имя должно содержать символ дефиса (-), например: my-tag.

options Необязательный

An object that names the prototype to base the custom element on, and an existing tag to extend. Both of these are optional.

Example

Here is a very simple example:

var Mytag = document.registerElement('my-tag');

Now the new tag is registered in the browser. The Mytag variable holds a constructor that you can use to create a my-tag element in the document as follows:

document.body.appendChild(new Mytag());

This inserts an empty my-tag element that will be visible if you use the browser's developer tools. It will not be visible if you use the browser's view source capability. And it won't be visible in the browser unless you add some content to the tag. Here is one way to add content to the new tag:

var mytag = document.getElementsByTagName("my-tag")[0];
mytag.textContent = "I am a my-tag element.";
