The Case for Web Components

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

Our great sponsors
  • Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support
  • InfluxDB - Access the most powerful time series database as a service
  • Sonar - Write Clean JavaScript Code. Always.
  • 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.

    While you can build components directly from the supporting Web APIs, you might find it productive to use a library that's been built to support this task. Lit and StencilJS are two of several libraries with acompanying tooling to help you build web components. And because they compile to the same 'target', they give you an additonal advantage: if you choose to switch web component libraries at some point in the future, you can make the switch for new components without having to rewrite the old ones, and use both in the same application.

  • lit

    Lit is a simple library for building fast, lightweight web components.
