installation

You can install into your application by running npm install --save-dev typescript-component

You can then use it like so:

function init() {
  var selector = ".typescript-component"
  var component = new TypeScriptComponent(selector)

You can also import the default styles typescript-component.css which will style it for you.

Demo

Live demo

This demo shows how to import your component from npm and add to a basic application

Browser support

The component uses CustomEvents for some communication, if you want to support IE9+ you need a polyfill. Many of my components also like to work with CustomEvents but I allow the users application to provide the optional polyfill to save download size if they use several of my own components at once.

(function () {

  if ( typeof window.CustomEvent === "function" ) return false;

  function CustomEvent ( event, params ) {
    params = params || { bubbles: false, cancelable: false, detail: undefined };
    var evt = document.createEvent( 'CustomEvent' );
    evt.initCustomEvent( event, params.bubbles, params.cancelable, params.detail );
    return evt;
   }

  CustomEvent.prototype = window.Event.prototype;

  window.CustomEvent = CustomEvent;
})();
