Collection of Marko widgets; considered to be the core building blocks for all eBay components, pages & apps.
Note:
Marko v3 requires Marko Widgets v6
Marko v4 requires Marko Widgets v7
The eBayUI components are Marko custom tags that follow the core principles of HTML. For example:
- Input attributes can only be of type String or Boolean
- State can be manipulated directly from the DOM node
- Events are fired through both Marko and the DOM
For more information, please read Building a UI Component in 2017 and Beyond.
All components are developed and tested cross-browser using BrowserStack, in accordance with our official eBay Browser Policy.
We take accessibility very seriously. Very seriously indeed. Therefore all components are built in accordance to the eBay MIND Patterns. These patterns, in turn, build on from the specifications provided by the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices.
Components are built in a layered, progressively enhanced fashion, utilizing the following resources:
Each layer does its bit to enforce and enhance accessibility. We consider this level of support to be one of our chief selling points, and we hope you do too!

The eBayUI core components are available as the @ebay/ebayui-core
package on NPM.
Use npm or yarn to add the package dependency to your project:
yarn add @ebay/ebayui-core
Once the package dependency is added, the eBay customs tags are now available for use in your Marko templates. For example, to use an ebay-menu
component:
template.marko
<ebay-menu text="Sort" type="radio">
<ebay-menu-item>Price</ebay-menu-item>
<ebay-menu-item>Time</ebay-menu-item>
<ebay-menu-item>Distance</ebay-menu-item>
</ebay-menu>
On Marko v3, remember to include the component's resources in your browser.json
file.
browser.json
{
"dependencies": [
"@ebay/ebayui-core/ebay-menu"
]
}
Attributes provide initial state for a component. We can see that the menu has text
and type
attributes:
template.marko
<ebay-menu text="Sort" type="radio">
<ebay-menu-item>Price</ebay-menu-item>
<ebay-menu-item>Time</ebay-menu-item>
<ebay-menu-item>Distance</ebay-menu-item>
</ebay-menu>
Some attributes are stateful and can be updated via the DOM. The text attribute, for example:
var menu = document.querySelector('.menu');
menu.text = 'Sortieren';
HTML attributes can be used on any component, and they will be passed through to the most prominent tag of the component. The most prominent tag is usually the root, but individual components will note if it varies for specific cases.
Example of static usage:
<ebay-button id="my-button"/>
For using pass-through attributes dynamically, they should be sent through the html-attributes
attribute:
<!-- data.htmlAttributes = { id: 'my-button' } -->
<ebay-button html-attributes=data.htmlAttributes/>
Static and dynamic pass-through attributes can be used simulatenously (html-attributes takes precedence in conflicts):
<!-- data.htmlAttributes = { id: 'my-button' } -->
<ebay-button html-attributes=data.htmlAttributes type="submit"/>
Events can be handled via the DOM. For example, the menu emits a menu-change
event:
menu.addEventListener('menu-change', onMenuChange);
Events can also be handled using Marko syntax:
template.marko
<ebay-menu text="Sort" type="radio" on-change("onMenuChange")>
<ebay-menu-item>Price</ebay-menu-item>
<ebay-menu-item>Time</ebay-menu-item>
<ebay-menu-item>Distance</ebay-menu-item>
</ebay-menu>
Note: when using DOM events, you should also handle event destruction and delegation as needed.
For upcoming roadmap and release history, please refer to our releases and milestones pages.
The ebayui-core package follows strict Semantic Versioning.
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH:
- MAJOR version is incremented when we make incompatible API changes
- MINOR version is incremented when we add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner
- PATCH version is incremented when we make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
Please use our issues page to ask questions, report issues or submit feature requests.
To help track your issue, our admins will assign it with one or more coloured labels:
- Black: Issue Type (e.g. bug, question, test case)
- White: Resolution (e.g. wont fix, invalid, duplicate)
- Gray: Status (e.g. backlog, in progress, help wanted)
- Red: Blocker (e.g. dependency, discussion, design)
- Green: Module (e.g. button, radio, dialog)
- Blue: Aspect (e.g. build, documentation, website)
- Yellow: Semver Guidance (e.g. breaking change, backwards compatible)
- Purple: Sprint (e.g. sprint 1, sprint 2, etc)
