Overview of Web Components standards
Web Components are a set of technologies that allow the creation of reusable custom elements with encapsulated functionality. The standard consists of three main technologies:
- Custom Elements: JavaScript APIs to define custom elements and their behavior.
- Shadow DOM: JavaScript APIs to encapsulate styles and markup within a component, preventing interference with the external DOM.
- HTML Templates: The
<template>and<slot>elements allow defining markup templates that are not rendered immediately but can be reused as the structure for custom elements.
