addElement

addElement: {

    (
        parentNode: HTMLElement,
        tagName: string,
        attributes?: Record<string, string>,
    ): HTMLElement;
}

Type declaration

    • (tagName: string, attributes?: Record<string, string>): HTMLElement

    • Appends and returns an element with the specified attributes.

      Examples:

      // using a private function in `onload`
      let el = GM_addElement('script', { src: 'https://....' });
      el.onload = () => console.log('loaded', el);

      // same as GM_addStyle('a { color:red }')
      let el = GM_addElement('style', { textContent: 'a { color:red }' });

      // appending to an arbitrary node
      let el = GM_addElement(parentElement.shadowRoot, 'iframe', { src: url });

      Parameters

      • tagName: string

        A tag name like script. Any valid HTML tag can be used, but the only motivation for this API was to add script, link, style elements when they are disallowed by a strict Content-Security-Policy of the site e.g. github.com, twitter.com.

      • Optionalattributes: Record<string, string>

        The keys are HTML attributes, not DOM properties, except textContent which sets DOM property textContent. The values are strings so if you want to assign a private function to onload you can do it after the element is created.

      Returns HTMLElement

    • (
          parentNode: HTMLElement,
          tagName: string,
          attributes?: Record<string, string>,
      ): HTMLElement

    • Appends and returns an element with the specified attributes.

      Examples:

      // using a private function in `onload`
      let el = GM_addElement('script', { src: 'https://....' });
      el.onload = () => console.log('loaded', el);

      // same as GM_addStyle('a { color:red }')
      let el = GM_addElement('style', { textContent: 'a { color:red }' });

      // appending to an arbitrary node
      let el = GM_addElement(parentElement.shadowRoot, 'iframe', { src: url });

      Parameters

      • parentNode: HTMLElement

        The parent node to which the new node will be appended. It can be inside ShadowDOM: someElement.shadowRoot. When omitted, it'll be determined automatically:

        • document.head (<head>) for script, link, style, meta tags.
        • document.body (<body>) for other tags or when there's no <head>.
        • document.documentElement (<html> or an XML root node) otherwise.
      • tagName: string

        A tag name like script. Any valid HTML tag can be used, but the only motivation for this API was to add script, link, style elements when they are disallowed by a strict Content-Security-Policy of the site e.g. github.com, twitter.com.

      • Optionalattributes: Record<string, string>

        The keys are HTML attributes, not DOM properties, except textContent which sets DOM property textContent. The values are strings so if you want to assign a private function to onload you can do it after the element is created.
