Web Components in Action MEAP v6
https://livebook.manning.com/#!/book/web-components-in-action/chapter-7/v-6/comment-487676
original: https://github.com/bengfarrell/webcomponentsinaction/blob/master/chapter7/7.5-slotsandtemplates/unnamedslots.html
#1:
prevent undefined custom element FOUC (flash of unstyled content)
#2:
- i.e. create shadowRoot in constructor rather than connectedCallback
- this.shadowRoot is automatically created - no need for separate this.root
https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/web-components/best-practices#create-your-shadow-root-in-the-constructor
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/shadowRoot
> The Element.shadowRoot read-only property represents the shadow root hosted by the element.
> Use Element.attachShadow() to add a shadow root to an existing element.
