Because of the generic nature of the terms, I'm having trouble searching for something that should have a page in the Nuxt docs somewhere:

I want to use an existing Web Component (developed by a third party) in a Nuxt app. It is having trouble with the SSR and I can't figure out how to work around it so that the web component is named in the template area but is only initialized in the browser.

Or, alternately, what I can tell the developer to do differently to make it work. It says it can't find "HTMLElement".

Wanted to try out this <syntax-highlight> #WebComponent for myself https://andreruffert.github.io/syntax-highlight-element/

The result is super clean and a fair chunk smaller than what's typically used. Even works with contenteditable!

You know what I love? clicking on the "copy" button on #github and having it do literally nothing

see, this button used to be a #webcomponent, and it would just work in all cases, but that was unacceptable because you can't hire people to write web components


So now it's a fabulous, very functional, very just #javascript #react component, and I'm happy because even though it doesn't work, it looks great on a State Of survey.

Are Web Components & Cybersecurity A Better Combo?

I'm not trying to dunk on popular #UI #frameworks – I'm sure they're totally fine for #cybersecurity stuff, probably get loads of reviews and #audits.

But from my angle: Web Components are *native* to the #browser. Doesn't that just inherently reduce the risk of **#SupplyChainAttacks** (you know, like a rogue `npm install` on a bad network) for your #AppSecurity?

Or am I overthinking it, and the #framework choice is less important than the #browser, #OS, or #device running it? What are your thoughts, #DevCommunity?

Quick context: I've got a #ReactJS #messagingApp (repo here: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat) and a separate #UIFramework (repo here: https://github.com/positive-intentions/dim) built with #Lit (which uses Web Components). I'm genuinely wondering if there's a compelling #cybersecurity reason to refactor the chat app to use my #WebComponent UI framework. Might be a whole new level of #SecurityByDesign for #FrontEndDev.

FYI, same question's on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/1lmk1rg/are_web_components_better_for_cybersecurity/, got some good #insights, but want to make sure nothing's getting overlooked! Let's discuss #InfoSec #WebDev #JavaScript #OpenSource #TechQuestion.

thanks to a discussion on reddit [1] and some links [2] I came across a different view on #webcomponents.
In short, just wrap content in a #webcomponent instead of trying to "upgrade" it. Like so:

<user-avatar>
<img src>
</user-avatar>

I always thought until now that it should rather be

<img src is=user-avatar>

but `is` is not widely usable.
I still need to digest it. I see the use cases, but somehow feels still strange

I'm trying to make #webcomponent with the exact same API as a native HTMLVideoElement - is there any clever way to do it?

The other day I mentioned I might have accidentally written a web component framework powered by @vite Here I've written about said framework - https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@teskooano/114432752411496927

Version 0.2.0 of #teskooano is out!

Read about the release and the new #webComponent #JavaScript #framework I've written - now live on the site!

Also see the roadmap for upcoming plans

https://teskooano.space/plan/00002/

I think I've accidentally built quite a cool '#webComponent-as-a-plugin' system for the @teskooano UI - essentially two functions - one to register base components, and one to register full plugins, that are made up of one or more web components, functions and a controller. These components can self-register things like buttons in certain toolbars, or you can just add them as functions (like opening a new external URL). I'll post a bit more on it later

Just embedded #vue into a huge legacy web application with vue components (generates vue #webcomponent).
This is a big step, since now I can incrementally rewrite the whole UI.

Just released: #teskooano new #webComponent based engine toolbar - a plugin toolbar that allows panels to register themselves with a button - so it;s much easier to add new features.

Been building a Card component for our #DesignSystem. Trickier than you might think.

To make the card surface clickable, it uses an approach from @heydon 's excellent https://inclusive-components.design/cards/ post, albeit wrapped up as a #WebComponent that progressively enhances a link/button in the card's content.

Also taking cues from @nathanacurtis sub components post https://medium.com/eightshapes-llc/subcomponents-753ce9f6600a and giving our consumers a suite of building blocks to assemble whatever specialsed card variations they need.

My #webcomponent for embedding #mastodon feeds and its demo page https://hcschuetz.github.io/mastodon-toots/ got a few enhancements, for example:

1. CSS fixes. (The old styling worked in Firefox but had problems in Edge and probably also Chrome.)
2. Hide sensitive content.
3. Added a list of similar projects to the demo page.
4. And perhaps most importantly: The component configuration became both simpler and more powerful.

If you have a #WebComponent with

```js
constructor() {
this.mq = matchMedia(…)
}
```

do you need to clean up any change listeners in `disconnectedCallback()`?

This was not intuitive to me, and I could imagine it going both ways.
