🤖 Write HTML and JavaScript
Import the component's JavaScript module, use the component in your HTML, and control it with JavaScript, just like you would with a built-in element such as <button>:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My Example App</title>
<!-- Add support for Web Components to older browsers. -->
<script src="./node_modules/@webcomponents/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-loader.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Use Web Components in your HTML like regular built-in elements. -->
<web-socket url="ws://127.0.0.1:8888" ui auto></web-socket>
<!-- The Material Web Components use standard JavaScript modules. -->
<script type="module">
// Importing this module registers <progress-ring> as an element that you
// can use in this page.
//
// Note this import is a bare module specifier, so it must be converted
// to a path using a server such as @web/dev-server.
import '@cicciosgamino/web-socket'
// Standard DOM APIs work with Web Components just like they do for
// built-in elements.
const ws = document.querySelector('web-socket')
</script>
</body>
</html>🚀 Serve
Serve your HTML with any server or build process that supports bare module specifier resolution (see next section):
# use globally instelled
npm install -g @web/dev-server
# install the project dev-dependencies and npm run
npm install
npm run serve🕶 Examples
Into the examples folder you can find the app-shell.js where the code of how use the component reside. Into the example two setTimeout trigger two situation, after 5sec the WebSocket (connect or not connect) is passed to an other web-socket component so the WebSocket object is shared between two web-socket components. After 7sec the url attribute of the first component is changed to another value (to try a bad address).
