Advect

Write plain html and unlock the power of web components NO BUILD STEP, and with as little "Magic" as possible,

I think every front end developer got hyped when when webcomponents were announced

Advect brings locality of behavior to web compenents.

On the web we have 3 types of html content

• Plain Jane html

Features

Create webcomponents with Plain HTML

<!-- import advect -->
<script src="advect.js"></script>

<!-- 
  define a webcompnent with a template tag that has a "adv" attribute
  the id will become the tag of the new component in this case "my-btn"
 -->
<template id="my-btn" adv> 
  <!-- style the new compnent -->
  <style>
      :host{
          button {
              color:blue;
          }
      }
  </style>
  <button>
      <slot name="name">Default Name</slot>
      <slot name="icon">🤯</slot>
  </button>
</template>

  <!-- Now your web compnent is ready to use -->
  <my-btn>
      <span slot="name">New icon / name</span>
      <span slot="icon">😉</span>
  </my-btn>

  <my-btn onclick="alert('unless you want to')">
      <span slot="name">No JS</span>
      <span slot="icon">😍</span>
  </my-btn>
