Custom Component Registration for Version Management

There are two key parts to every Auro component: the class and the custom element definition. The class defines the component’s behavior, while the custom element registers it under a specific name so it can be used in HTML.

When you install the component as described on the Install page, the class is imported automatically, and the component is registered globally for you.

However, if you need to load multiple versions of the same component on a single page (for example, when two projects depend on different versions), you can manually register the class under a custom element name to avoid conflicts.

You can do this by importing only the component class and using the register(name) method with a unique name:

// Import the class only
import { AuroTail } from '@aurodesignsystem/auro-tail/class';

// Register with a custom name if desired
AuroTail.register('custom-tail');

This will create a new custom element <custom-tail> that behaves exactly like <auro-tail>, allowing both to coexist on the same page without interfering with each other.

<custom-tail tail="AS" size="2xl"></custom-tail>
<custom-tail-group size="lg">
  <custom-tail tail="HA"></custom-tail>
  <custom-tail tail="AA"></custom-tail>
</custom-tail-group>
