Fractal is a tool to help you build and document web component libraries, and then integrate them into your projects. Component (or pattern) libraries are a way of designing and building websites in a modular fashion, breaking up the UI into small, reusable chunks that can then later be assembled in a variety of ways to build anything from larger components right up to whole pages. Fractal helps you assemble, preview and document website component libraries, and then integrate them into your web sites, apps and build processes to create joined up, ‘living’ projects. Fractal can be run from the command line or integrated into your project via its API.
How do React function components differ from React classes?For a while, the canonical answer has been that classes provide access to more features (like state). With Hooks, that’s not true anymore.
In our previous post A introduction to Web Components we learned the basics of the APIs that when used together can create a compelling and reusable way to make UI components. We learned Web Components communicate primarily via properties and events. Web Components can also use the Shadow DOM API to create template and CSS encapsulation. In this post we are going to look into a project ran by Polymer called lit-html.
Front-end development moves at a break-neck pace. This is made evident by the myriad articles, tutorials, and Twitter threads bemoaning the state of what once was a fairly simple tech stack. In this article, I’ll discuss why Web Components are a great tool to deliver high-quality user experiences without complicated frameworks or build steps and that don’t run the risk of becoming obsolete. In subsequent articles of this five-part series, we will dive deeper into each of the specifications.This series assumes a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If you feel weak in one of those areas, don’t worry, building a custom element actually simplifies many complexities in front-end development.
Few things in the frontend world are as hot as Design Systems, the idea of building a design spec or library of reusable components that can be shared across a team or company. Design Systems enforce style and branding guidelines, reduce design fatigue for engineers, and consolidate component engineering to one single set of components and a team that builds them. Basically, they help teams manage design at scale.
After several months of being just days away, we are over the moon to announce the stable release of Svelte 3. This is a huge release representing hundreds of hours of work by many people in the Svelte community, including invaluable feedback from beta testers who have helped shape the design every step of the way.We think you're going to love it.
It’s fairly possible to judge a component and say that it’s easy to implement it in HTML&CSS. I agree, it’s easy when you are working for practice purposes only, but for a real-life project, it’s completely different. The perfect responsive component that you just built will fail quickly in case it was used for a real-life project with real content. Why? It’s because judging on how a component can be built without considering the edge cases.
