Web Components

Web Components is a suite of native web technologies that allow developers to create encapsulated, reusable UI elements without relying on frameworks like React or Vue. These components work across modern browsers and can be used alongside any tech stack.


The Web Components standard includes:

  1. Custom Elements – Define new HTML tags with custom behavior using JavaScript.

  2. Shadow DOM – Encapsulates a component’s internal DOM and styles, preventing leakage or conflicts.

  3. HTML Templates – Define reusable HTML structures that can be instantiated dynamically.


Example:

html

<my-button></my-button>


Under the hood, <my-button> could be a fully styled, interactive button defined in a custom JavaScript class.


Benefits:

  • True encapsulation: styles and logic don’t interfere with the global scope.

  • Reusability: build once, use everywhere.

  • Framework-agnostic: works across any frontend environment.


Why they’re important:

Web Components promote modular, maintainable UI design. They're especially valuable in large teams or design systems where consistent behavior and styling are critical.


While they have a steeper learning curve and less ecosystem support than frameworks, Web Components represent a standards-based approach to component architecture—a step toward a more interoperable web.
