Reddit: log shadow-DOM components

Logs every Reddit custom element to the console and marks which ones have a shadow root, helping you write selectors.

Code to copy

// List custom elements that expose a shadow root, useful for writing selectors
function reportShadowRoots() {
  const seen = {};
  document.querySelectorAll('*').forEach(function (el) {
    const tag = el.tagName.toLowerCase();
    if (tag.indexOf('-') === -1) { return; }
    if (seen[tag]) { return; }
    seen[tag] = true;
    if (el.shadowRoot) {
      console.log('[jz] shadow root on <' + tag + '>', el.shadowRoot);
    } else {
      console.log('[jz] light-DOM custom element <' + tag + '>');
    }
  });
  console.log('[jz] ' + Object.keys(seen).length + ' distinct custom elements found');
}
reportShadowRoots();
