Awesome Web Components
A curated list of awesome Web Components resources.
Note
This project was previously named "Web Components the Right Way"
Web Components — a suite of different technologies allowing you to create reusable custom elements — with their functionality encapsulated away from the rest of your code — and utilize them in your web apps.

Introduction
Standards
Custom Elements
Custom Elements provide a way for authors to build their own fully-featured DOM elements.
Shadow DOM
Shadow DOM describes a method of combining multiple DOM trees into one hierarchy and how these trees interact with each other within a document, thus enabling better composition of the DOM.
HTML Templates
<template>
element is used to declare fragments of HTML that can be cloned and inserted in the document by script.
CSS Shadow Parts
CSS Shadow Parts allow developers to expose certain elements inside Shadow DOM for styling purposes.
