Web Components

ELI5 — The Vibe Check

Web Components are the browser's native component system. Custom elements, shadow DOM, templates - no framework needed. They work in React, Vue, Angular, vanilla JS, or even your grandma's static HTML page. The ultimate 'write once, use everywhere' dream.

Real Talk

Web Components is a suite of browser standards including Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML Templates that enable creating reusable, encapsulated components without framework dependencies. They provide native browser-level component abstraction with style and DOM isolation.

class MyButton extends HTMLElement {
  connectedCallback() {
    this.innerHTML = `<button><slot></slot></button>`;
  }
}
customElements.define('my-button', MyButton);
