UI components using modern technologies

This is a collection of all the components that Joomla is using. They are developed with the new W3C standard: custom elements. Each component is using plain and optimized javascript for performance. Also the HTML markup (wherever possible) is reduced to offer a great benefit for front end developers).

Using the NPM power

You can install this package by using NPM:

$ npm i joomla-ui-custom-elements

Configuration

The prefix of all the elements is configuarable. To do so duplicate the file settings.yaml and name the new file as settings-custom.yaml. Open the file in your editor and change the prefix to your taste. (It needs to be one word - check the W3C speifications for valid custom element naming). Build your custom elements by executing:

$ grunt

The folder named dist contains all your elements.

Usage

For each component that you need to have available in your page you need to add the custom element in the head of the document:

<script src="joomla-alert.min.js"></script>

Tests

Once again we are using the great tools from the polymer team here! You will need wct (web component tester) installed globally. To do so just run npm install web-component-tester -g. You might need to run that command as sudo! After that, in the root folder of this project just run wct and see the status of the tests...

The default setup is based on MacOS system and looking for Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers, you can change this by editing line 5 of https://github.com/joomla-projects/custom-elements/blob/master/wct.conf.json#L5

Browser support

Although all the major browsers are committed to support custom elements some of the all green browsers do need a polyfill. The polyfills can be found in the dist folder and are created by the Polymer team (Polymer is a Google project). The repo for the actual polyfill is: https://github.com/webcomponents/webcomponentsjs
