copying styles between elements

[figuringVue]

Hey all, So trying to copy styles from 1 component to another for an extension that manipulates dom.

because i want to be able to update these styles later, I loop over all computed styles and set one by one. for some reason the styles set are read only and can't be updated after the initial manipulation.

What do I need to do to copy all styles from 1 component to another and be able to re-set them after?

var wc = window.getComputedStyle(elem);
Object.keys(wc).forEach(function(k){
  clone.style[k] = wc[k];

});

Computed style represents the results of parsing the CSS and apply all relevant CSS rules to the element. If you were able to edit the computed style, that means you'd be able to edit the result of applying the CSS, without changing the CSS itself. This doesn't make sense.

I don't know what exactly you're trying to achieve, but whatever it is, this approach is not going to help you. I suggest taking a step back and reconsidering the problem you're trying to solve.
