Window: customElements property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.
The customElements
read-only property of the Window
interface returns a reference to the CustomElementRegistry
object, which can be used to register new custom elements and get information about previously registered custom elements.
Examples
The most common example you'll see of this property being used is to get access to the CustomElementRegistry.define()
method to define and register a new custom element, e.g.:
js
let customElementRegistry = window.customElements;
customElementRegistry.define("my-custom-element", MyCustomElement);
However, it is usually shortened to something like the following:
js
customElements.define(
"element-details",
class extends HTMLElement {
constructor() {
super();
const template = document.getElementById(
"element-details-template",
).content;
const shadowRoot = this.attachShadow({ mode: "open" }).appendChild(
template.cloneNode(true),
);
}
},
);
See our web-components-examples repo for more usage examples.
