The @utrecht/web-component-library-stencil package contains the actual implementation of every web component, while the @utrecht/web-component-library-react only contains wrapper React components to provide JSX elements for every Web Component. The implementation of each component will be loaded separately and on-demand, so including the entire component library will not slow down your application.
Install both packages to use React web components in your project:
npm install --save-dev --save-exact \
@utrecht/web-component-library-react \
@utrecht/web-component-library-stencilFor example, using Next.js:
import Head from "next/head";
import { UtrechtHeading, UtrechtParagraph, UtrechtDocument } from "@utrecht/component-library-react";
export default function ExamplePage() {
return (
<UtrechtDocument>
<Head>
<title>Example Page</title>
</Head>
<main>
<UtrechtHeading level={1}>Home</UtrechtHeading>
<UtrechtParagraph>Hell, world!</UtrechtParagraph>
</main>
</UtrechtDocument>
);
}Since the implementation of the web components needs to be loaded in the browser, include the following effect to import web component library from @utrecht/web-component-library-stencil, in Next.js this would be in _app.ts:
useEffect(() => {
import("../public/utrecht/utrecht.esm.js");
}, []);When you're working on a React project and the React component is available, currently you should probably use the React component.
The web components are still experimental. In the future some components might be most convenient to use as web component, and some components might be released exclusively as web component.
