mwc-textfield

A Material Components tab indicator implementation using Web Components

Getting started

• When you're ready to use mwc-textfield in a project, install it via npm. To run the project in the browser, a module-compatible toolctain is required. We recommend installing the Polymer CLI and using its development server as follows.

  1. Ensure the webcomponents polyfills are included in your HTML page

     • Install webcomponents polyfills

       npm i @webcomponents/webcomponentsjs

     • Add webcomponents polyfills to your HTML page

       <script src="@webcomponents/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-loader.js"></script>

  2. Add mwc-textfield to your project:

     npm i @authentic/mwc-textfield

  3. Import the mwc-textfield definition into your HTML page:

     <script type="module" src="@authentic/mwc-textfield/index.js"></script>

     Or into your module script:

     import { TextField } from "@authentic/mwc-textfield"

  4. Create an instance of mwc-textfield in your HTML page, or via any framework that supports rendering Custom Elements:

     <mwc-textfield></mwc-textfield>

  5. Install the Polymer CLI:

     npm i -g polymer-cli

  6. Run the development server and open a browser pointing to its URL:

     polymer serve

  mwc-textfield is published on npm using JavaScript Modules. This means it can take advantage of the standard native JavaScript module loader available in all current major browsers.

  However, since mwc-textfield uses npm convention to reference dependencies by name, a light transform to rewrite specifiers to URLs is required to get it to run in the browser. The polymer-cli's development server polymer serve automatically handles this transform.

  Tools like WebPack and Rollup can also be used to serve and/or bundle mwc-textfield.
