Vanilla JavaScript Web Components
JavaScript runs in every web browser, tablet and smartphone on the planet. It’s used to create all kinds of applications, from business productivity tools to social media apps and online games. Modern JavaScript is a flexible, powerful development platform – but it’s a platform that comes with a dizzying array of standards, frameworks and tools. From the dark days of document.layers , through jQuery and prototype, to modern ecosystems like React and vueJS, developers have long relied on frameworks and libraries when it comes to building client-side components and systems using JavaScript.
With modern JavaScript, you don’t need to. Technologies like web components, custom elements and the shadow DOM are natively supported by over 90% of browsers, and using these technologies, we can create lightweight, responsive web components that leverage modern browsers’ native APIs to deliver blisteringly fast performance.
