This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • storybook

    Storybook is a frontend workshop for building UI components and pages in isolation. Made for UI development, testing, and documentation.

  • Using a custom-elements.json file, it would be easy to generate or display demos for your component using tools such as api-viewer-element, or automatically generate Storybook knobs for your components. 11ty plugins could be created to automatically create your documentation sites for you.

  • webcomponents

    Discontinued Web Components specifications [Moved to: https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents] (by w3c)

  • The idea for a web-components.json was first suggested in this GitHub issue on the web components GitHub repository, by Pine from the VS Code team, with the initial goal for IDEs to be able to better support custom elements.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • custom-elements-manifest

    A file format for describing custom elements

  • Custom Elements Manifest is a file format that describes the custom elements in your project. This format will allow tooling and IDEs to give rich information about the custom elements in a given project. A custom-elements.json contains metadata about the custom elements in your project; their properties, methods, attributes, inheritance, slots, CSS Shadow Parts, CSS custom properties, and a modules exports. If you're interested in following the specification of the schema, or contributing to it, you can find the repository here: webcomponents/custom-elements-manifest.

  • api-viewer-element

    API documentation and live playground for Web Components. Based on Custom Elements Manifest format

  • Using a custom-elements.json file, it would be easy to generate or display demos for your component using tools such as api-viewer-element, or automatically generate Storybook knobs for your components. 11ty plugins could be created to automatically create your documentation sites for you.

  • eleventy πŸ•šβš‘οΈ

    A simpler site generator. Transforms a directory of templates (of varying types) into HTML.

  • Using a custom-elements.json file, it would be easy to generate or display demos for your component using tools such as api-viewer-element, or automatically generate Storybook knobs for your components. 11ty plugins could be created to automatically create your documentation sites for you.

  • elm-get

  • Another interesting usecase, inspired by elm-package, is that tooling could be able to detect whether or not the public API of a custom element has changed, based on a snapshot of the current custom-elements.json file to decide the impact of an update, and potentially prevent breaking API change in patch or minor versions.

  • custom-elements-manifest

  • Atomico (opt-in via community plugin)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • custom-elements-manifest

    Custom Elements Manifest is a file format that describes custom elements in your project. (by open-wc)

  • To get started developing custom plugins, take a look at the cem-plugin-template repository to quickly get you up and running, and take a look at the Authoring Plugins documentation for more in depth information.

  • cem-plugin-template

    Starter repo for developing custom element analyzer plugins

  • To get started developing custom plugins, take a look at the cem-plugin-template repository to quickly get you up and running, and take a look at the Authoring Plugins documentation for more in depth information.

  • stencil

    A toolchain for building scalable, enterprise-ready component systems on top of TypeScript and Web Component standards. Stencil components can be distributed natively to React, Angular, Vue, and traditional web developers from a single, framework-agnostic codebase.

  • Stencil (opt-in via CLI flag)

  • shoelace-css

    A collection of professionally designed, every day UI components built on Web standards. SHOELACE IS BECOMING WEB AWESOME. WE ARE LIVE ON KICKSTARTER! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

  • Some component libraries like Fast or Shoelace provide specific instructions on how to integrate with certain frameworks. Automating this integration layer could make development easier for both authors of component libraries, but also for consumers of libraries.

  • open-wc

    Open Web Components: guides, tools and libraries for developing web components.

  • It's unlikely that developers will write their custom-elements.json file by hand. So at Open Web Components, we worked hard on a tool that does it for you!

  • catalyst

    Catalyst is a set of patterns and techniques for developing components within a complex application.
