# Web Component Base Class
|
|
|
|
This is a base JavaScript class for creating Web Components easily.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm i web-component-base
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
When you extend the `WebComponent` class for your component, you only have to define the `template()` and `observedAttributes()`, and the UI will be reactive on attribute changes.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// HelloWorld.mjs
|
|
import { WebComponent } from "./WebComponent.mjs";
|
|
|
|
export class HelloWorld extends WebComponent {
|
|
name = "World";
|
|
emotion = "excited";
|
|
|
|
static get observedAttributes() {
|
|
return ["name", "emotion"];
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
get template() {
|
|
return `
|
|
<h1>Hello ${this.name}${this.emotion === "sad" ? ". 😭" : "! 🙌"}</h1>`;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then changes in the attributes observed will cause the UI to render.
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<head>
|
|
...
|
|
<script type="module">
|
|
import {HelloWorld} from './HelloWorld.mjs';
|
|
customElements.define('hello-world', HelloWorld);
|
|
</script>
|
|
</head>
|
|
<body>
|
|
<hello-world name="Ayo" emotion="sad">
|
|
<script>
|
|
const helloWorld = document.querySelector('hello-world');
|
|
setTimeout(() => {
|
|
helloWorld.setAttribute('emotion', 'excited');
|
|
}, 2500)
|
|
</script>
|
|
</body>
|
|
```
|
|
