📁 HTML

```html
    <p> 
        The document has one marble: 
        <inline-circle size="3em" color="red"></inline-circle>. <br>
            
        The HTML parser instantiates two more marbles:
        <inline-circle size="2em" color="blue"></inline-circle>
        <inline-circle color="green"></inline-circle>.

        <hr>
            
        How many marbles does the document contain now? 
    </p>
```

📁 JS

```javascript
// define custom element: 
customElements.define("inline-circle", class extends HTMLElement {

    // 🔸 when <inline-circle> inserted into document.
    connectedCallback() {

## Valid Custom Element Name

{% hint style="info" %}

* 開頭：\[a-z] ⭐️
* 接著：\[0-9], \[a-z], "**`-`**", "**`.`**", "**`_`**" (optional)
* 中間一定要有："**`-`**" ⭐️
* 接著：\[0-9], \[a-z], "**`-`**", "**`.`**", "**`_`**" (optional)
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
\<vstack-> 或 \<i-vstack> ❓(這兩個都是合法的名字)
{% endhint %}

```javascript
PotentialCustomElementName ::= 
    [a-z] (PCENChar)* '-' (PCENChar)*
    
PCENChar ::=
    "-" | "." | [0-9] | "_" | [a-z] | #xB7 | 
    [#xC0-#xD6] | [#xD8-#xF6] | [#xF8-#x37D] | [#x37F-#x1FFF] | 
    [#x200C-#x200D] | [#x203F-#x2040] | [#x2070-#x218F] | 
    [#x2C00-#x2FEF] | [#x3001-#xD7FF] | [#xF900-#xFDCF] | 
    [#xFDF0-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#xEFFFF]
```

## Register New Tag Name <a href="#register" id="register"></a>

We can create our tags by using the [CustomElementRegistry](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CustomElementRegistry) object (`window.customElements`).

{% hint style="danger" %}

* **custom element names** must contain a **hyphen**:exclamation: \
  📘 customElements.[define](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CustomElementRegistry/define#parameters)()
* Custom elements **cannot** be **self-closing** because HTML only allows [a few elements](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#void-elements) to be self-closing. Always write a closing tag\
  &#x20;(`<custom-element></custom-element>`)\
  📘 Google ⟩ [Custom Elements](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/web-components/customelements#jsapi)
  {% endhint %}

```javascript
// ⭐️ custom tag <my-component>
// ⭐️ custom element names must contain a "hyphen".
customElements.define('my-component', MyComponent);
```

## Supporting Class <a href="#class" id="class"></a>

To create a custom element, we need to tell the browser several details about it: **how to show it**, **what to do** when the element is **added** or **removed** to page, etc.

```javascript
class MyComponent extends HTMLElement {

  constructor() {
    super();
    // ...
  }

  // triggered when added to the document
  connectedCallback() {}

  // triggered when removed from the document
  disconnectedCallback() {}

  // attribute names to monitor for changes
  static get observedAttributes() {
    return [ /* ... */ ];
  }

  // triggered when one of attributes listed above is modified.
  // doesn’t trigger for unlisted attributes (for performance reasons).
  attributeChangedCallback(name, oldValue, newValue) {}

  // called when moved to a new document
  // happens in document.adoptNode, very rarely used
  adoptedCallback() {}

  // other methods and properties ...
}
```
