- HTML ELEMENT EXTENDED
This goal of this project is to create a simple wrapper for web components that provides much of the useful functionality of lifecycle frameworks like react without the complication or overhead.
In particular there is no compile-time step for this library, each of the files can be loaded as a module.
To use this, (currently, until its on npmjs.com)
To a caller add to package.json/dependencies
"html-element-extended": "https://github.com/mitra42/html-element-extended",
Then in your webcomponents.js file for example include it with
import { EL, HTMLElementExtended, getUrl } from './node_modules/html-element-extended/htmlelementextended.js';
To add a new module,
- Add a file here xxxelementextended.js
- Add to the docs here
- Add to package.json/exports
Each module is documented internally but as a TL;DR
** htmlelementextended.js
Provides HTMLElementExtended which can be used instead of HTMLElement to create your own web components, but has the key functionality already there.
Note - all of these are under development. If you use them please introduce yourself in a git issue, and I'll bear this in mind when making any breaking revisions.
** eventbus.js A simple event handler to hide the mechanisms
- At the page level create e.g.
const bus = new EventBus - At a receiving object typically bus.register("foo",(evt) => {...})
- At sending end bus.fire("foo",{a: 1, b: 2})
- remove is rarely used, but is there for completeness.
