When using `createShadowRoot`, your UI is isolated from the document's styles because it's inside a ShadowRoot. + +To fix this, you need to tell your component library to insert it's CSS inside the shadow root. Here's the docs for a couple of popular libraries: + +- React + - Ant Design: [`StyleProvider`](https://ant.design/docs/react/compatible-style#shadow-dom-usage) + - Mantine: [`MantineProvider#getRootElement` and `MantineProvider#cssVariablesSelector`](https://mantine.dev/theming/mantine-provider/) + +> If your library isn't listed above, try searching it's docs/issues for "shadow root", "shadow dom", or "css container". + +`createShadowRoot` provides it's own `` element inside the shadow root, so that were you should tell the library to add the CSS. Here's an example with Ant Design: + +```tsx +import { StyleProvider } from '@ant-design/cssinjs'; // [!code ++] +import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client'; +import App from './App.tsx'; + +const ui = await createShadowRootUi(ctx, { + name: 'example-ui', + position: 'inline', + anchor: 'body', + onMount: (container) => { // [!code --] + onMount: (container, shadow) => { // [!code ++] + const cssContainer = shadow.querySelector("head")!; // [!code ++] + const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(container); + root.render( + // [!code ++] + + // [!code ++] + ); + return root; + }, + onRemove: (root) => { + root?.unmount(); + }, +}); +``` + +Note that this doesn't effect all component libraries, just ones that inject CSS themselves rather than having you import their CSS. This approach is more prevailent in the React community, but not limited to it. That's why only React libraries are listed above. Vuetify, for example, works just fine because you import its CSS - WXT picks up on this and the CSS is added inside the shadow root automatically: + +```ts +import 'vuetify/styles'; // <-- This line imports the CSS, just like importing a .css file +import { createVuetify } from 'vuetify'; +```
