simpleComponent

Function for creating a web component that is useable in your html.

simpleComponent(config)

The config object has many properties to help build your component: prefix = the prefix to your tag tag name = the name of your component (the html tag name would be prefix-name) builder = function that returns template (state, props) => {return templateString} state = initial state object connected = pass in a string with your connectedCallback function connectedCallback(){stuff to happen when component mounted} disconnected = pass in a string with your disconnectedCallback function disconnectedCallback(){stuff to happen when component unmounted} observe: pass in string with ObservedAttributes function for component constructor other: string to define other methods and/or define attributeChangedCallback/adoptedCallback debug: If set to true, will console log the underlying string that is evaluated to create the component so you can debug your component. postBuild: (state, props) => function that runs after each render

Defining a component

simpleComponent({
    prefix: 'test',
    name: 'test',
    builder: (state, props) => {
        return `<h1>${state.hello}</h1>
    <h2> ${props.user} </h2>`;
    },
    state: { hello: 'hello world' }
});

const comps = document.querySelectorAll('test-test');

using components in your HTML

In the below code we see the component used three times with different props along with three button that update each components state.

<test-test user="jones"></test-test>
<test-test user="harry"></test-test>
<test-test user="james"></test-test>
<button onclick="comps[0].setState({hello: 'one'})">One</button>
<button onclick="comps[1].setState({hello: 'two'})">Two</button>
<button onclick="comps[2].setState({hello: 'three'})">Three</button>
