ShadowRoot
: either"open"
or "closed"

mode
of a shadow root to "closed
" makes the shadow root’s implementation internals inaccessible and unchangeable from JavaScript—in the same way the implementation internals of, for example, the<video>
element are inaccessible and unchangeable from JavaScript. ShadowRoot.host
Read only- A DOM element to which the
ShadowRoot
is attached. ShadowRoot.innerHTML
- The DOM tree inside the
ShadowRoot
