const styles = css`
  button {
    padding: 8px 16px;
    cursor: pointer;
  }
`;

const Counter = defineComponent('my-counter', ({ props }) => {
  const count = signal(props.initial.value);

  return (
    <button onClick={() => count.update(v => v + 1)}>
      Count: {count.value}
    </button>
  );
}, {
  styles: [styles],
  props: { initial: { type: Number, default: 0 } },
});

const app = <Counter initial={1} />;

<my-counter></my-counter>

API

defineComponent(tagName, setup, options?)

Define and register a custom element, and get back a JSX-ready component definition.

• tagName: Custom element name (must contain a hyphen)
• setup: Function that creates the component's DOM content
• options: Optional configuration
  • styles: Array of CSSStyleSheet or string styles
  • props: PropsSchema object defining observed attributes with type coercion
  • hydrate: Hydration setup function for SSR
• returns: Callable definition with webComponent and jsx helpers

css

Create a CSSStyleSheet from a template literal.

const styles = css`
  :host {
    display: block;
  }
  .card {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    padding: 16px;
  }
`;

SSR with Declarative Shadow DOM

To enable SSR with Declarative Shadow DOM, simply import the auto-setup module:

// entry-server.tsx
import "@dathomir/components/ssr"; // Auto-enables DSD rendering
import { App } from "./App";

export function render(): string {
  return App() as unknown as string;
}

The @dathomir/components/ssr import automatically configures the SSR renderer to generate <template shadowrootmode="open"> for all registered Web Components. No additional setup required!
