## Create an Element

This method creates an instance of an individual `Element`.

It takes the `type` of `Element` to create as well as an `options` object.

**Syntax:** `elements.create(...)`

- `type` ('paymentRequestButton') **required**
  The type of element you are creating.
In this case, `paymentRequestButton`.

- `options` (object) **required**
  Options for creating a `paymentRequestButton` element.

  - `classes` (object)
    Set custom class names on the container DOM element when the Stripe element is in a particular state.

    - `base` (string)
      The base class applied to the container.
Defaults to `StripeElement`.

    - `complete` (string)
      The class name to apply when the `Element` is complete.
Defaults to `StripeElement--complete`.

    - `empty` (string)
      The class name to apply when the `Element` is empty.
Defaults to `StripeElement--empty`.

    - `focus` (string)
      The class name to apply when the `Element` is focused.
Defaults to `StripeElement--focus`.

    - `invalid` (string)
      The class name to apply when the `Element` is invalid.
Defaults to `StripeElement--invalid`.

    - `webkitAutofill` (string)
      The class name to apply when the `Element` has its value autofilled by the browser (only on Chrome and Safari).
Defaults to `StripeElement--webkit-autofill`.

  - `style` (object)
    An object used to customize the appearance of the Payment Request Button.
The object must have a single `paymentRequestButton` field, containing any of the following sub-fields:

    - `type` (string)
      Preferred button type to display. Available types, by wallet:


Browser card: `default`, `book`, `buy`, or `donate`.

Apple Pay: `default`, `book`, `buy`, `donate`, `check-out`, `subscribe`, `reload`, `add-money`, `top-up`, `order`, `rent`, `support`, `contribute`, `tip`


When a wallet does not support the provided value, `default` is used as a fallback.

    - `theme` (string)
      One of `dark`, `light`, or `light-outline`.
The default is `dark`.

    - `height` (string)
      The height of the Payment Request Button. Accepts `px` unit values.

  - `paymentRequest` (PaymentRequest) **required**
    A [PaymentRequest](/js/payment_request.md) object used to configure the element.

  country: 'US',
  currency: 'usd',
  total: {label: 'Demo total', amount: 1099},

var paymentRequestButtonElement = elements.create(

  {
    paymentRequest: paymentRequest,
    style: {
      paymentRequestButton: {
        theme: 'light',
      },
