Web Component Starter for Lit Element

Boilerplate project for building a web component using the Lit Element framework. It is fully equipped with TypeScript and is ready to be published to NPM.

This is a framework agnostic component, however when using it in React - we recommended that you wrap it using a dedicated library to overcome some web component incompatibilities (read docs and tests). See example.

:rocket: Setup commands

npm install

Installs node dependencies.

npm run build

Builds the component.

npm run build:watch

Used to automatically rebuild the component as soon as any changes are made to the code.

npm run serve

Serves the component locally (from index.html).

:construction_worker: Other commands

npm run build:bundle

Bundles the component into a single file (to dist/web-component-starter-fast.bundle.js). This is great for serving the component via a CDN, such as UPKG (example).

npm run analyze

Builds a custom elements manifest (custom-elements.json) which can be used by assistive tools to benefit the custom element development experience.
