Come to the light side: HTML Web Components — Chris Ferdinandi (11ty Conf 2024)
This was a talk given at the 11ty International Symposium on Making Web Sites Real Good (2024): https://conf.11ty.dev/2024/come-to-the-light-side-html-web-components/
While Web Components have been around for years, they're seeing a bit of a renaissance thanks to an emerging approach for authoring them: ditch the shadow DOM and progressively enhance existing HTML.
In this talk, we'll look at what Web Components, how the "HTML Web Component" approach works, why it's awesome, and some tips, tricks, and gotchas when working with them.
