VANILLA WEB

@tomastrajan
COMPONENTS*
CREATED WITH THE HELP OF FRONTEND FRAMEWORKS AND LIBRARIES....
@tomastrajan
<p> vs <todo-item>
- show text
- use styling
- some css animations
- show text
- use styling
- some css animations
- toggle
- assign to user
- set deadline
- tag
- ....
@tomastrajan
COMPONENTS
- re-usability
- encapsulation
- reduction of complexity
- framework / library specific
- not reusable across projects
@tomastrajan
W E B COMPONENTS
@tomastrajan
IT STARTS SIMPLE...
@tomastrajan
...GETS CRAZY
PRETTY FAST
- vanilla DOM APIs
- manual management of props and attributes
- life-cycle hooks
- by default only primitive values in attributes
- custom events are verbose
- methods vs declarative data passing
@tomastrajan
BUT...
@tomastrajan
WEB COMPONENTS
- more reusable
- framework independent
- better encapsulation (shadow DOM)
- future proof (in theory)

@tomastrajan
ANGULAR ELEMENTS
- all previous web components benefits, plus...
- using known powerful framework
- less boilerplate
- libraries / opensource/ community

@tomastrajan
WHAT IT DOES ?
- remove element tag from the DOM
- add <script> tag with elements bundle url to the body
- wait for the bundle to be loaded
- add element back to the DOM
- show some loader while downloading element bundle
- show some use friendly error message if loading fails
- make sure that the element bundle was loaded only once
@tomastrajan
ISSUES & LESSONS LEARNED
- change detection can be tricky, it's easiest to re-use parent NgZone
@tomastrajan
ISSUES & LESSONS LEARNED
- careful with the this.ngZone.runOutsideAngular()
- it will pull related stream outside of angular zone into <root> zone preventing proper refresh of the view
ETAGS
- simple bundle name, eg main.js
- use etags to get the newest version (or short cache)
@tomastrajan
LEARN MORE
- Official Angular elements documentation
- @angular-extensions/elements library
- Web components documentation (MDN)
- Change detection issue and NgZone sharing (GitHub angular/angular issue)
