The slotchange
event is fired on an HTMLSlotElement
instance (<slot>
element) when the node(s) contained in that slot change.
Note: The slotchange
event doesn't fire if the children of a slotted node change â only if you change (e.g., add or delete) the actual nodes themselves.
In order to trigger a slotchange event, one has to set or remove the slot
attribute.
This event is not cancelable.
SyntaxUse the event name in methods like addEventListener()
, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("slotchange", (event) => { })
onslotchange = (event) => { }
Event type
A generic Event
.
element.setAttribute("slot", slotName);
// element.assignedSlot = $slot
element.removeAttribute("slot");
// element.assignedSlot = null
The following snippet is taken from our slotchange example (see it live also).
let slots = this.shadowRoot.querySelectorAll("slot");
slots[1].addEventListener("slotchange", (e) => {
let nodes = slots[1].assignedNodes();
console.log(
`Element in Slot "${slots[1].name}" changed to "${nodes[0].outerHTML}".`,
);
});
Here we grab references to all the <slot>
s, then add a slotchange
event listener to the template's second slot â which is the one which has its contents changed in the example.
Every time the element inserted in the slot changes, we log a report to the console saying which slot has changed, and what the new node inside the slot is.
