This goal of this project is to
create a simple wrapper for web components that provides
much of the useful functionality of lifecycle frameworks like react
without the complication or overhead.
In particular there is no compile-time step for this library,
each of the files can be loaded as a module.
To use this, (currently, until its on npmjs.com)
To a caller add to package.json/dependencies
"html-element-extended": "https://github.com/mitra42/html-element-extended",
Then in your webcomponents.js file for example include it with
import { EL, HTMLElementExtended, getUrl } from './node_modules/html-element-extended/htmlelementextended.js';
import { ContentVideo } from './node_modules/html-element-extended/videoelementextended.js';
import { QRScanExtended, QRCodeExtended } from './node_modules/html-element-extended/qrlementextended.js';
To add a new module,
- Add a file here xxxelementextended.js
- Add to the docs here
- Add to package.json/exports
Each module is documented internally but as a TL;DR
** htmlelementextended.js
Provides HTMLElementExtended which can be used instead of HTMLElement
to create your own web components, but has the key functionality already there.
** qrelementextended.js
Use HTMLElementExtended to build a QR scanner and a QR display
** videoelementextended.js
Uses HTMLElementExtended to create yaml2sqlite.jsa number of video webComponents that
know how to display videos from a variety of sources (based on the URL)
allowing a single component to handle
YouTube, Vimeo, Internet Archive, WebTorrent etc.
Note - all of these are under development.
If you use them please introduce yourself in a git issue,
and I'll bear this in mind when making any breaking revisions.
** eventbus.js
A simple event handler to hide the mechanisms
- At the page level create e.g.
const bus = new EventBus
- At a receiving object typically bus.register("foo",(evt) => {...})
- At sending end bus.fire("foo",{a: 1, b: 2})
- remove is rarely used, but is there for completeness.
** Upgrading packages
There is a fair bit of instability at the moment (July 2023) in npm
with modules and commonJS coexisting.
The following document some of the issues with upgrading
*** webtorrent
At some point webtorrent.min.js was moved into dist/ certainlsqllib.jsy there in 2.1.13
