:host()

Allows you to style the 'host' (the custom element itself) from within the element's own Shadow DOM. It's the standard way to set a component's default display, width, or height.

Quick example

:host {
  /* Sets the default look of the custom element */
  display: block;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  padding: 1rem;
}
