3s1t Web Components
Getting Started
To start building a new web component using Stencil, clone this repo to a new directory:
git clone https://github.com/ionic-team/stencil-component-starter.git my-component
cd my-component
git remote rm origin
and run:
npm install
npm start
To build the component for production, run:
npm run build
To run the unit tests for the components, run:
npm test
To publish to npm, run:
npm publish

Naming Components
When creating new component tags, we recommend not using stencil
in the component name (ex: <stencil-datepicker>
). This is because the generated component has little to nothing to do with Stencil; it's just a web component!
Instead, use a prefix that fits your company or any name for a group of related components. For example, all of the Ionic generated web components use the prefix ion
.
Using this component
There are three strategies we recommend for using web components built with Stencil.
The first step for all three of these strategies is to publish to NPM.
Script tag
- Put a script tag similar to this
<script type='module' src='https://unpkg.com/my-component@0.0.1/dist/my-component.esm.js'></script>
in the head of your index.html - Then you can use the element anywhere in your template, JSX, html etc
Node Modules
- Run
npm install my-component --save
- Put a script tag similar to this
<script type='module' src='node_modules/my-component/dist/my-component.esm.js'></script>
in the head of your index.html - Then you can use the element anywhere in your template, JSX, html etc
In a stencil-starter app
- Run
npm install my-component --save
- Add an import to the npm packages
import my-component;
- Then you can use the element anywhere in your template, JSX, html etc
In a VSCode Extension
- Copy built files into extension
/src
