addAdds an initializer function to the class that is called during instance construction.
This is useful for code that runs against a ReactiveElement
subclass, such as a decorator, that needs to do work for each
instance, such as setting up a ReactiveController
.
const myDecorator = (target: typeof ReactiveElement, key: string) => {
target.addInitializer((instance: ReactiveElement) => {
// This is run during construction of the element
new MyController(instance);
});
}
Decorating a field will then cause each instance to run an initializer that adds a controller:
class MyElement extends LitElement {
@myDecorator foo;
}
Initializers are stored per-constructor. Adding an initializer to a subclass does not add it to a superclass. Since initializers are run in constructors, initializers will run in order of the class hierarchy, starting with superclasses and progressing to the instance's class.
Protected
Static
finalizeFinishes setting up the class so that it's ready to be registered as a custom element and instantiated.
This method is called by the ReactiveElement.observedAttributes getter. If you override the observedAttributes getter, you must either call super.observedAttributes to trigger finalization, or call finalize() yourself.
Static
observedSynchronizes property values when attributes change.
Specifically, when an attribute is set, the corresponding property is set.
You should rarely need to implement this callback. If this method is
overridden, super.attributeChangedCallback(name, _old, value)
must be
called.
See responding to attribute changes
on MDN for more information about the attributeChangedCallback
.
Registers a ReactiveController
to participate in the element's reactive
update cycle. The element automatically calls into any registered
controllers during its lifecycle callbacks.
If the element is connected when addController()
is called, the
controller's hostConnected()
callback will be immediately called.
Removes a ReactiveController
from the element.

Invoked when the component is added to the document's DOM.
In connectedCallback()
you should setup tasks that should only occur when
the element is connected to the document. The most common of these is
adding event listeners to nodes external to the element, like a keydown
event handler added to the window.
connectedCallback() {
super.connectedCallback();
addEventListener('keydown', this._handleKeydown);
}
Typically, anything done in connectedCallback()
should be undone when the
element is disconnected, in disconnectedCallback()
.
Invoked when the component is removed from the document's DOM.
This callback is the main signal to the element that it may no longer be
used. disconnectedCallback()
should ensure that nothing is holding a
reference to the element (such as event listeners added to nodes external
to the element), so that it is free to be garbage collected.
disconnectedCallback() {
super.disconnectedCallback();
window.removeEventListener('keydown', this._handleKeydown);
}
An element may be re-connected after being disconnected.
Static
elementMemoized list of all element properties, including any superclass properties. Created lazily on user subclasses when finalizing the class.
Static
propertiesUser-supplied object that maps property names to PropertyDeclaration
objects containing options for configuring reactive properties. When
a reactive property is set the element will update and render.
By default properties are public fields, and as such, they should be considered as primarily settable by element users, either via attribute or the property itself.
Generally, properties that are changed by the element should be private or
protected fields and should use the state: true
option. Properties
marked as state
do not reflect from the corresponding attribute
However, sometimes element code does need to set a public property. This
should typically only be done in response to user interaction, and an event
should be fired informing the user; for example, a checkbox sets its
checked
property when clicked and fires a changed
event. Mutating
public properties should typically not be done for non-primitive (object or
array) properties. In other cases when an element needs to manage state, a
private property set with the state: true
option should be used. When
needed, state properties can be initialized via public properties to
facilitate complex interactions.
Static
createCreates a property accessor on the element prototype if one does not exist
and stores a PropertyDeclaration for the property with the
given options. The property setter calls the property's hasChanged
property option or uses a strict identity check to determine whether or not
to request an update.
This method may be overridden to customize properties; however,
when doing so, it's important to call super.createProperty
to ensure
the property is setup correctly. This method calls
getPropertyDescriptor
internally to get a descriptor to install.
To customize what properties do when they are get or set, override
getPropertyDescriptor
. To customize the options for a property,
implement createProperty
like this:
static createProperty(name, options) {
options = Object.assign(options, {myOption: true});
super.createProperty(name, options);
}
Optional
options: PropertyDeclaration<unknown, unknown>Protected
Static
getReturns a property descriptor to be defined on the given named property. If no descriptor is returned, the property will not become an accessor. For example,
class MyElement extends LitElement {
static getPropertyDescriptor(name, key, options) {
const defaultDescriptor =
super.getPropertyDescriptor(name, key, options);
const setter = defaultDescriptor.set;
return {
get: defaultDescriptor.get,
set(value) {
setter.call(this, value);
// custom action.
},
configurable: true,
enumerable: true
}
}
}
Static
getReturns the property options associated with the given property.
These options are defined with a PropertyDeclaration
via the properties
object or the @property
decorator and are registered in
createProperty(...)
.
Note, this method should be considered "final" and not overridden. To
customize the options for a given property, override
createProperty
.
Readonly
renderReadonly
renderNode or ShadowRoot into which element DOM should be rendered. Defaults to an open shadowRoot.
Static
shadowOptions used when calling attachShadow
. Set this property to customize
the options for the shadowRoot; for example, to create a closed
shadowRoot: {mode: 'closed'}
.
Note, these options are used in createRenderRoot

is customized, options should be respected if possible.
Protected

renderInvoked on each update to perform rendering tasks. This method may return
any value renderable by lit-html's ChildPart

the element to update.
Static
elementMemoized list of all element styles. Created lazily on user subclasses when finalizing the class.
Static
stylesArray of styles to apply to the element. The styles should be defined using the css tag function, via constructible stylesheets, or imported from native CSS module scripts.
Note on Content Security Policy:
Element styles are implemented with <style>
tags when the browser doesn't
support adopted StyleSheets. To use such <style>
tags with the style-src
CSP directive, the style-src value must either include 'unsafe-inline' or
nonce-<base64-value>
with <base64-value>
replaced be a server-generated
nonce.
To provide a nonce to use on generated <style>
elements, set
window.litNonce
to a server-generated nonce in your page's HTML, before
loading application code:
<script>
// Generated and unique per request:
window.litNonce = 'a1b2c3d4';
</script>
Protected
Static
finalizeTakes the styles the user supplied via the static styles
property and
returns the array of styles to apply to the element.
Override this method to integrate into a style management system.
Styles are deduplicated preserving the last instance in the list. This is a performance optimization to avoid duplicated styles that can occur especially when composing via subclassing. The last item is kept to try to preserve the cascade order with the assumption that it's most important that last added styles override previous styles.
Optional
styles: CSSResultGroupIs set to true
after the first update. The element code cannot assume
that renderRoot
exists before the element hasUpdated
.
True if there is a pending update as a result of calling requestUpdate()
.
Should only be read.
Returns a Promise that resolves when the element has completed updating.
The Promise value is a boolean that is true
if the element completed the
update without triggering another update. The Promise result is false
if
a property was set inside updated()
. If the Promise is rejected, an
exception was thrown during the update.
To await additional asynchronous work, override the getUpdateComplete
method. For example, it is sometimes useful to await a rendered element
before fulfilling this Promise. To do this, first await
super.getUpdateComplete()
, then any subsequent state.
A promise of a boolean that resolves to true if the update completed without triggering another update.
Protected
enableNote, this method should be considered final and not overridden. It is overridden on the element instance with a function that triggers the first update.
Protected
firstInvoked when the element is first updated. Implement to perform one time work on the element after update.

}
Setting properties inside this method will trigger the element to update again after this update cycle completes.
Map of changed properties with old values
Protected
getOverride point for the updateComplete
promise.
It is not safe to override the updateComplete
getter directly due to a
limitation in TypeScript which means it is not possible to call a
superclass getter (e.g. super.updateComplete.then(...)
) when the target
language is ES5 (https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/338).
This method should be overridden instead. For example:
class MyElement extends LitElement {
override async getUpdateComplete() {
const result = await super.getUpdateComplete();
await this._myChild.updateComplete;
return result;
}
}
A promise of a boolean that resolves to true if the update completed without triggering another update.
Protected
performPerforms an element update. Note, if an exception is thrown during the
update, firstUpdated
and updated
will not be called.
Call performUpdate()
to immediately process a pending update. This should
generally not be needed, but it can be done in rare cases when you need to
update synchronously.
Requests an update which is processed asynchronously. This should be called
when an element should update based on some state not triggered by setting
a reactive property. In this case, pass no arguments. It should also be
called when manually implementing a property setter. In this case, pass the
property name
and oldValue
to ensure that any configured property
options are honored.
Optional

oldValue: unknownold value of requesting property
Optional
options: PropertyDeclaration<unknown, unknown>property options to use instead of the previously configured options
Protected
scheduleSchedules an element update. You can override this method to change the
timing of updates by returning a Promise. The update will await the
returned Promise, and you should resolve the Promise to allow the update
to proceed. If this method is overridden, super.scheduleUpdate()
must be called.
For instance, to schedule updates to occur just before the next frame:
override protected async scheduleUpdate(): Promise<unknown> {
await new Promise((resolve) => requestAnimationFrame(() => resolve()));
super.scheduleUpdate();
}
Protected
shouldControls whether or not update()
should be called when the element requests
an update. By default, this method always returns true
, but this can be
customized to control when to update.
Map of changed properties with old values
