Size of package, including custom element behavior framework (be-enhanced/be-hive):

Size of new code in this package:

Syntax

<label be-clonable>
    <input type="checkbox" name="">
    <span>Check me out</span>
</label>

In fact, it is a little better from a performance point of view to manually add the button to go along with the attribute, to save the browser or server from having to render it.

<label be-clonable>
    <input type="checkbox" name="">
    <span>Check me out</span>
    <button class="be-clonable-trigger">❏</button>
</label>

The button as well as the event handler can be attached programmatically without the need for the custom attribute, which is useful during template instantiation, for example.

await customElements.whenDefined('be-enhanced');
oLabel.beEnhanced.by.beClonable;
