# ChangeAccountCountryElement

> A UI element that allows users to change the country associated with their payout account.

## Overview

A UI element that allows users to change the country associated with their payout account.

This element handles the complete flow for updating account country, including:

* Displaying available countries
* Validating the country selection
* Updating the account settings

Changing the account country may affect available payout methods and tax requirements.

## Usage

### Basic usage

```typescript theme={null}
// Create the element
const element = session.createElement("change-account-country-element", {
  onCountryChanged: (ev) => {
    console.log("Country changed to:", ev.detail.country);
  },
});

// Mount it to a container
element.mount("#country-change-container");
```

### Using as a modal

```typescript theme={null}
// Show the element in a modal overlay
const modal = session.showChangeAccountCountryModal({
  onCountryChanged: (ev) => {
    console.log("New country:", ev.detail.country);
    // Element auto-unmounts by default
  },
  onClose: (ev) => {
    ev.preventDefault();
    modal.close();
  },
});
```

### Listening to events

```typescript theme={null}
const element = session.createElement("change-account-country-element", {});

element.on("ready", () => {
  console.log("Element loaded");
});

element.on("countryChanged", (ev) => {
  console.log("Country changed to:", ev.detail.country);
  // Optionally prevent auto-unmount
  // ev.preventDefault();
});

element.on("close", (ev) => {
  console.log("User cancelled the change");
});

element.mount("#container");
```

```typescript theme={null}
const element = session.createElement("change-account-country-element", {
  onReady: (element) => {
    console.log("Element is ready");
  },
  onCountryChanged: (ev) => {
    console.log("Country changed to:", ev.detail.country);
  },
  onClose: (ev) => {
    console.log("User cancelled");
  },
});
```

## Events

Events emitted by the ChangeAccountCountryElement.

Listen to these events using the `on()` method or by passing callback functions in the options.

### `error`

Emitted when an error occurs during element initialization or operation.

**Callback signature:** (error: `unknown`) => void

### `ready`

Emitted when the element has finished loading and is ready for user interaction.

**Callback signature:** (element: `ChangeAccountCountryElement`) => void

### `optionsUpdated`

Emitted when the element's options are updated via `updateOptions()`.

**Callback signature:** (options: [`ChangeAccountCountryElementOptions`](#changeaccountcountryelementoptions)) => void

### `close`

Emitted when the user closes the country selection without making a change.
Call `ev.preventDefault()` to prevent the element from automatically unmounting.

**Callback signature:** (ev: `CustomEvent`\<`any`>) => void

### `snapshot`

Emitted when the element's internal state changes.

**Callback signature:** (snapshot: [`ChangeAccountCountryElementSnapshot`](#changeaccountcountryelementsnapshot)) => void

### `countryChanged`

Emitted when the user successfully changes their account country.
Call `ev.preventDefault()` to prevent the element from automatically unmounting.

**Callback signature:** (ev: `CustomEvent`\<\{ country: `string`; }>) => void

## Methods

### `mount(container)`

Mount the element to a DOM container.

The container must be an empty element. The element will be appended as a child.
If the element is already mounted, this method will log a warning and return.

| Parameter   | Type                              | Description                                               |
| ----------- | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| `container` | `HTMLElement` \| `#$\{`string`\}` | The container element or a CSS selector starting with '#' |

```typescript theme={null}
// Using a selector
element.mount("#my-container");

// Using an element reference
const container = document.getElementById("my-container");
element.mount(container);
```

### `unmount()`

Remove the element from the DOM and clean up all event listeners.

After unmounting, the element instance should not be reused.
Create a new element instance if you need to mount again.

```typescript theme={null}
// Unmount when done
element.unmount();

// Commonly used in event handlers
element.on("complete", () => {
  element.unmount();
});
```

### `updateOptions(options)`

Update the element's configuration options after creation.

Only the provided options will be updated; other options remain unchanged.
The element will re-render with the new options.

| Parameter | Type                                                                                    | Description                                      |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `options` | `Partial`\<[`ChangeAccountCountryElementOptions`](#changeaccountcountryelementoptions)> | Partial options object with the values to update |

```typescript theme={null}
// Update a single option
element.updateOptions({
  onComplete: (ev) => {
    console.log("New handler!");
  },
});
```

### `getSnapshot()`

Get the current state snapshot of the element.

The snapshot contains the element's current internal state, such as
loading status, form values, or other element-specific data.

**Returns:** [`ChangeAccountCountryElementSnapshot`](#changeaccountcountryelementsnapshot)

```typescript theme={null}
const snapshot = element.getSnapshot();
console.log("Current state:", snapshot.state);

// Or listen for changes
element.on("snapshot", (snapshot) => {
  console.log("State changed:", snapshot);
});
```

## Styling

| Property           | Type                                                             | Required | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                                      |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `onReady`          | `((element: ChangeAccountCountryElement) => void) \| undefined`  | No       | -       | Callback fired when the element has finished loading and is ready for interaction. This is equivalent to listening to the 'ready' event.                                         |
| `onClose`          | `((ev: CustomEvent) => void) \| undefined`                       | No       | -       | Callback fired when the user closes the element without changing their country. By default, the element will unmount when closed. Call 'ev.preventDefault()' to keep it mounted. |
| `onCountryChanged` | `((ev: CustomEvent<{ country: string; }>) => void) \| undefined` | No       | -       | Callback fired when the user successfully changes their account country. By default, the element will unmount after the change. Call 'ev.preventDefault()' to keep it mounted.   |

### ChangeAccountCountryElementSnapshot

Represents the current state of the ChangeAccountCountryElement.

Use `element.getSnapshot()` to get the current state, or listen to the `snapshot` event for changes.
