PACE Web Chat
This will be a standalone Web Component made using Stencil. It is derived from there starter project as of 31-MAR-2018.
Architecture
Stencil is a compiler for building fast web apps using Web Components.
Stencil combines the best concepts of the most popular frontend frameworks into a compile-time rather than run-time tool. Stencil takes TypeScript, JSX, a tiny virtual DOM layer, efficient one-way data binding, an asynchronous rendering pipeline (similar to React Fiber), and lazy-loading out of the box, and generates 100% standards-based Web Components that run in any browser supporting the Custom Elements v1 spec.
Stencil components are just Web Components, so they work in any major framework or with no framework at all.

will be used in the chatbot dialog preview of

Cloning from starter project
To start building a new web component using Stencil, we've cloneed the repo to a new directory:
git clone https://github.com/ionic-team/stencil-component-starter.git pace-web-chat
cd pace-web-chat
git remote rm origin
and run:
npm install
npm start
All popular browsers are supported in their current versions, but for now we use Chrome. To watch for file changes during develop, run:
npm run dev
To build the component for production, run:
npm run build
To run the unit tests for the components in watch mode, run:
npm run test.watch
