The getRangeAt()
method of the Selection
interface returns a range object representing a currently selected range.
If the endpoints of the selected range are within a shadow tree then JavaScript does not have visibility of the shadow nodes, and the method should re-scope the range to include the host element that contains the end point. In practice most browsers do not yet implement this behavior, and the returned range is unpredictable.
Note: When selecting within nodes that might contain a shadow root, you can use Selection.getComposedRanges()
(if supported) to get a selection range inside a shadow tree, or to reliably re-scope the selection to the host node.

The zero-based index of the range to return. A negative number or a number greater than or equal to Selection.rangeCount
will result in an error.

let ranges = [];
sel = window.getSelection();
for (let i = 0; i < sel.rangeCount; i++) {
ranges[i] = sel.getRangeAt(i);
}
/* Each item in the ranges array is now
