# useActiveElement
Reactive `document.activeElement`. Returns a shallow ref that updates when focus changes.
## Usage
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useActiveElement } from '@vueuse/core'
import { watch } from 'vue'
const activeElement = useActiveElement()
watch(activeElement, (el) => {
console.log('focus changed to', el)
})
</script>
```
### Shadow DOM Support
By default, `useActiveElement` will traverse into shadow DOM to find the deeply active element. Set `deep: false` to disable this behavior.
```ts
import { useActiveElement } from '@vueuse/core'
// Only get the shadow host, not the element inside shadow DOM
const activeElement = useActiveElement({ deep: false })
```
### Track Element Removal
Set `triggerOnRemoval: true` to update the active element when the currently active element is removed from the DOM. This uses a `MutationObserver` under the hood.
```ts
import { useActiveElement } from '@vueuse/core'
const activeElement = useActiveElement({ triggerOnRemoval: true })
```
## Component Usage
```vue
<template>
<UseActiveElement v-slot="{ element }">
Active element is {{ element?.dataset.id }}
</UseActiveElement>
</template>
```
## Type Declarations
```ts
export interface UseActiveElementOptions
extends ConfigurableWindow, ConfigurableDocumentOrShadowRoot {
/**
* Search active element deeply inside shadow dom
*
* @default true
*/
deep?: boolean
/**
* Track active element when it's removed from the DOM
* Using a MutationObserver under the hood
* @default false
*/
triggerOnRemoval?: boolean
}
export type UseActiveElementReturn<T extends HTMLElement = HTMLElement> =
ShallowRef<T | null | undefined>
/**
* Reactive `document.activeElement`
*
* @see https://vueuse.org/useActiveElement
* @param options
*
* @__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__
*/
export declare function useActiveElement<T extends HTMLElement>(
options?: UseActiveElementOptions,
): UseActiveElementReturn<T>
```
