can't parse shadowroot element

[litttley]

for example the github commit relative-time element is a shdowroot ,document.querySelector("#repo-content-pjax-container > div > div > div.Layout.Layout--flowRow-until-md.Layout--sidebarPosition-end.Layout--sidebarPosition-flowRow-end > div.Layout-main > div.Box.mb-3 > div.js-details-container.Details > div.Details-content--hidden-not-important.js-navigation-container.js-active-navigation-container.d-md-block > div.Box-row.Box-row--focus-gray.py-2.d-flex.position-relative.js-navigation-item.navigation-focus > div.color-fg-muted.text-right > relative-time").shadowRoot.textContent the selector can't find out

Yeah, what you describe depends on two things: custom elements and shadowroots. For the shadow roots to exist you must first register the custom element Javascript classes to add the shadowroots. Just parsing the HTML won't yield you shadowroot nodes, you must also run the Javascript on the page in addition parsing the HTML.

Deno DOM is not meant to be a substitute for a browser and by extension will never execute the Javascript on a page. What I do plan on doing, however, is implementing both the custom element API and the shadow root API in Deno DOM. It's just if you parse the HTML from Github for example you won't get any shadow roots created because that's strictly a Javascript feature and can't be expressed in HTML.
