Overview
Web Components aim to solve the problem of code reuse and encapsulation in web development. They allow developers to create custom HTML tags that work across any framework or even with no framework at all.
Core Technologies
- Custom Elements: APIs to define new HTML elements.
- Shadow DOM: Encapsulated DOM and styling, hidden from the main document.
- HTML Templates: The
<template>and<slot>elements for defining reusable structures.
Benefits
- Interoperability: Works with React, Vue, Angular, or vanilla JS.
- Encapsulation: Prevents style leaks and naming conflicts.
- Reusability: Build once, use anywhere.
