After deployment, can we interact with HTML elements present inside SPFx?

Question

I know SPFx uses same DOM and it can interact with other elements of the page but what about apposite direction?

Suppose if we are using Modern Script Editor Web Part then can it interact (click, show or hide) with the HTML elements which are present in SPFx web part or extension (assuming SPFx web part or extension was already successfully deployed and working fine on page)

Answer 1

Hi @Shailesh Jaiswal ,

According to my research and testing, SPFx can interact with other controls. Based on my testing, when we use the Modern Script Editor web part, we can interact with other Web Parts. For example, we can hide or show other Web Parts, but when I try to hide/show HTML elements in other web parts, it failed. In my test, SPFx can interact with other controls, but cannot interact with HTML elements in Web Parts.

Hope it can help you. Thanks for your understanding.
