+# Mutation Observer
+
+[component-header:sl-mutation-observer]
+
+The Mutation Observer component offers a thin, declarative interface to the [`MutationObserver API`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MutationObserver).
+
+The mutation observer will report changes to the content it wraps through the `sl-mutation` event. When emitted, a collection of [MutationRecord](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MutationRecord) objects will be attached to `event.detail` that contains information about how it changed.
+
+```html preview
+<div class="mutation-overview">
+  <sl-mutation-observer attr>
+    <sl-button type="primary">Click to mutate</sl-button>
+  </sl-mutation-observer>
+
+  <br>
+  👆 Click the button and watch the console
+
+  <script>
+    const container = document.querySelector('.mutation-overview');
+    const mutationObserver = container.querySelector('sl-mutation-observer');
+    const button = container.querySelector('sl-button');
+    const types = ['primary', 'success', 'neutral', 'warning', 'danger']; 
+    let clicks = 0;
+
+    // Change the button's type attribute
+    button.addEventListener('click', () => {
+      clicks++;
+      button.setAttribute('type', types[clicks % types.length]);
+    });
+
+    // Log mutations
+    mutationObserver.addEventListener('sl-mutation', event => {
+      console.log(event.detail);
+    });
+  </script>
+
+  <style>
+    .mutation-overview sl-button {
+      margin-bottom: 1rem;
+    }
+  </style>
+</div>
+```
+
+?> When you create a mutation observer, you must indicate what changes it should respond to by including at least one of `attr`, `child-list`, or `char-data`. If you don't specify at least one of these attributes, no mutation events will be emitted.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Child List
+
+Use the `child-list` attribute to watch for new child elements that are added or removed.
+
+```html preview
+<div class="mutation-child-list">
+  <sl-mutation-observer child-list>
+    <div class="buttons">
+      <sl-button type="primary">Add button</sl-button>
+    </div>
+  </sl-mutation-observer>
+
+  👆 Add and remove buttons and watch the console
+
+  <script>
+    const container = document.querySelector('.mutation-child-list');
+    const mutationObserver = container.querySelector('sl-mutation-observer');
+    const buttons = container.querySelector('.buttons');
+    const button = container.querySelector('sl-button[type="primary"]');
+    let i = 0;
+
+    // Add a button
+    button.addEventListener('click', () => {
+      const button = document.createElement('sl-button');
+      button.textContent = ++i;
+      buttons.append(button);
+    });
+
+    // Remove a button
+    buttons.addEventListener('click', event => {
+      const target = event.target.closest('sl-button:not([type="primary"])');
+      event.stopPropagation();
+
+      if (target) {
+        target.remove();
+      }
+    });
+
+    // Log mutations
+    mutationObserver.addEventListener('sl-mutation', event => {
+      console.log(event.detail);
+    });
+  </script>
+
+  <style>
+    .mutation-child-list .buttons {
+      display: flex;
+      gap: .25rem;
+      flex-wrap: wrap;
