renderToElement (tagName) HTMLBodyElementprivate
Creates a new DOM element, renders the view into it, then returns the element.
By default, the element created and rendered into will be a BODY element, since this is the default context that views are rendered into when being inserted directly into the DOM.
1 2 | let element = view.renderToElement();element.tagName; // => "BODY" |
You can override the kind of element rendered into and returned by specifying an optional tag name as the first argument.
1 2 | let element = view.renderToElement('table');element.tagName; // => "TABLE" |
This method is useful if you want to render the view into an element that is not in the document's body. Instead, a new body element, detached from the DOM is returned. FastBoot uses this to serialize the rendered view into a string for transmission over the network.
