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

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - A Non-Cloud Alternative to Google Forms that has it all.
  • Amplication - open-source Node.js backend code generator
  • Appwrite - The open-source backend cloud platform
  • Mergify - Updating dependencies is time-consuming.
  • Sonar - Write Clean JavaScript Code. Always.
  • InfluxDB - Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time
  • 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

    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

    A Non-Cloud Alternative to Google Forms that has it all.. SurveyJS JavaScript libraries allow you to easily set up a robust form management system fully integrated into your IT infrastructure where users can create and edit multiple dynamic JSON-based forms in a no-code form builder.

  • 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 🕚⚡️

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

  • 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)

  • Amplication

    Amplication: open-source Node.js backend code generator. An open-source platform that helps developers build backends without spending time on boilerplate & repetitive coding. Including production-ready GraphQL & REST APIs, DB schema, DTOs, filtering, pagination, RBAC, & more.

    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

  • 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. Works with all framework as well as regular HTML/CSS/JS. 🥾

    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.
