An experiment in webcomponents. In this repository I want to answer the following questions:
- What is the best usecase for webcomponents?
- Should an abstraction be needed?
- How will forms and form components work within webcomponents.
The purpose of this repository is two fold; a playground to try things, and it is a reference - both for myself and for others. The format I am using in this repository is almost blog-like; I try to explain separate steps, and refer to code on this repository.
A working demo of the code in this repository can be found on https://timoschinkel.github.io/webcomponents/.
Webcomponents are a JavaScript specification, so the main language for this repository is JavaScript. Usage of nvm is advised. I personally prefer TypeScript, and therefore the webcomponents are written using TypeScript.
To run the project locally, you install the correct version of NodeJS:
nvm iYou install all dependencies:
npm ciAnd you start the development server:
npm run start- https://www.webcomponents.org/
