defineComponent() was rebuilding the shadow-root <style> element on every attribute-driven re-render. That churn discarded the existing style node instead of preserving it across updates.

  • Render path

    • Preserve the component-owned shadow-root style node before replacing rendered markup
    • Reinsert the same <style> element after render instead of creating a new one
    • Mark the internal style node with data-bquery-component-style so the component only manages its own stylesheet
  • Regression coverage

    • Add a focused component test that verifies:
      • the same <style> node instance survives an attribute-triggered re-render
      • the shadow root still contains exactly one style tag after the update
      • rendered content still reflects the updated prop value
  • Resulting behavior

    // before: new <style> node created on each rerender
    el.setAttribute('value', 'updated');
    
    // after: same <style> node is preserved and re-prepended
    const sameStyleNode =
      el.shadowRoot?.querySelector('style') === initialStyleNode;
  • Screenshot

    • Manual verification: the component updates rendered content while reporting same node reused: true
    • Style node reuse demo

Pull request overview

This PR updates the Web Components render path so defineComponent() preserves the component-managed shadow-root <style> element across attribute-driven re-renders, avoiding unnecessary DOM churn and ensuring a stable style node.

Changes:

  • Preserve and reuse the component-owned shadow-root <style> node across render(true) updates by tagging it with data-bquery-component-style.
  • Add a regression test that verifies style node identity reuse, ensures only one <style> remains after update, and confirms rendered content updates.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 2 out of 2 changed files in this pull request and generated 1 comment.

File Description
src/component/component.ts Reuses an existing style[data-bquery-component-style] node after shadowRoot.innerHTML resets, preventing style element recreation on re-render.
tests/component.test.ts Adds a focused test to validate style node reuse across attribute-triggered re-renders.

Applied in 8f0bb2e. The regression test now targets style[data-bquery-component-style], asserts the node is present, and verifies it is the reused STYLE element without relying on an unavailable HTMLStyleElement runtime global in happy-dom.

Pull request overview

This PR reduces DOM churn in the component module by preserving the component-owned <style> node across attribute-driven re-renders, instead of recreating it on every render. This improves render efficiency and avoids unnecessary style node replacement.

Changes:

  • Preserve and re-prepend an existing shadow-root style node (marked with data-bquery-component-style) during re-renders.
  • Add a regression test ensuring the same style element instance is reused and remains singular after an attribute-triggered update.

Reviewed changes

File Description
src/component/component.ts Captures the existing component style node before shadowRoot.innerHTML replacement and reinserts it after render, tagging newly-created style nodes with data-bquery-component-style.
tests/component.test.ts Adds a test verifying the style node instance is reused across attribute-triggered re-renders and that only one style tag exists post-update.
