Alan's Web Component Techniques

Introduction

Web components appealed to me the first time I heard about them. Thinking about a standards based way to build isolated, reusable widgets is very satisfying.

The reality has been rougher than I would have expected. There are some complicated bits. That's led me to have a few false starts. I keep coming back to them though. The more I do, the more I whittle away at the frictions I find with them.

My Notes

This site is my working-in-public collection of notes on web components. The idea is that each page will be an isolated example of a specific thing I'm trying to solve. The goal is not to make components to use. It's to identify techniques that can be assembled like Lego.
