HACKER Q&A

Anyone know of any largish applications built with WebComponents?


In case you don't know, Web Components are kind of like "React built-in to the web browser".

I've been reading up on Web Components and they sound really interesting. It's like web browsers have an equivalent tot React built in.

I'm curious now to have a look around the code base not just of small examples, but of something larger.

I'm curious to know how a complete application would be architected around Web Components.

Know of anything?

Have you built something substantial primarily around Web Components - if yes, what did you think? Pros and cons?

There's plenty of production grade applications running Web Components.

A good list of companies using them in production can be found here: https://arewebcomponentsathingyet.com/

A large example on a huge application using web components is Photoshop's browser version: https://web.dev/ps-on-the-web/#web-components-and-lit

Never mind - I've just discovered Web Components are not supported at all on Safari, which sinks the idea of Web Components being a viable alternative to anything.

Here's the reasoning from Safari developers: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182671
