# Web Component Base
|
|
|
|
> [!Note]
|
|
> **Correctness fixes shipped (v5.0.0)** — We now have better compliance with the custom elements specs, better property type handling and clearer distinction between attributes and property within `onChanges()` hook (breaking change). See the [change log](https://github.com/ayo-run/wcb/releases/tag/v5.0.0) for more details. Next up: **faster templates!**

🤷♂️ zero-dependency, 🤏 tiny JS base class for creating reactive [custom elements](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Components/Using_custom_elements) easily ✨
|
|
|
|
This is the base class used for web components in Ayo's projects, primarily [cozy-games](https://git.ayo.run/ayo/cozy-games), [mcfly](https://git.ayo.run/ayo/mcfly/), his [personal site](https://ayo.ayco.io), his [blog](https://ayos.blog), and [others](https://git.ayo.run/ayo).

|
|
Read more about it on the [docs](https://webcomponent.io) or [view a demo on CodePen](https://codepen.io/ayoayco-the-styleful/pen/ZEwoNOz?editors=1010).

|
When you extend the `WebComponent` class for your component, you only have to define the `template` and `properties`. Any change in any property value will automatically cause just the component UI to render.
|
|
|
|
The result is a reactive UI on property changes.

## Inspirations and thanks
|
|
|
|
1. [htm](https://github.com/developit/htm) - I use it for the `html` function for tagged templates, and take a lot of inspiration in building the rendering implementation. It is highly likely that I will go for what Preact is doing... but we'll see.
|
|
1. [fast](https://github.com/microsoft/fast) - When I found that Microsoft has their own base class I thought it was super cool!
|
|
1. [lit](https://github.com/lit/lit) - `lit-html` continues to amaze me and I worked to make `wcb` generic so I (and others) can continue to use it

## Size change log
|
|
|
|
See [`size-change-log.md`](./size-change-log.md) for a running record of how each correctness/feature change affects the `WebComponent` base class bundle size, with the reason and benefit of each.
