UI Dev Kit

UI Dev Kit is a set of Web Components & Custom Elements to build widgets and even web apps in a declarative style.

UI Dev Kit elements have three modes:

1. Custom Element - 100% convenience;
2. Web Component - 100% security;
3. Custom Element Wrapper - 100% customization;

UI Dev Kit 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 & Custom Elements that run in any browser supporting the Custom Elements v1 spec.

UI Dev Kit elements are just HTML Web Components & HTML Custom Elements, so they work in any major framework or with no framework at all.

Using Components

There are two strategies we recommend for using UI Dev Kit:

Script tag

• Put a script tag <script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@uiwebkit/udk@latest/dist/udk.esm.js"></script> in the head of your index.html
• To support old browsers, also put a script tag <script nomodule src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@uiwebkit/udk@latest/dist/udk.js"></script> in the head of your index.html
• Then you can use the element anywhere in your template, JSX, html etc

Node Modules

• Run npm i @uiwebkit/udk --save
• Put a script tag similar to this <script type="module" src="node_modules/@uiwebkit/udk/dist/udk.esm.js"></script> in the head of your index.html
• To support old browsers, also put a script tag <script nomodule src="node_modules/@uiwebkit/udk/dist/udk.js"></script> in the head of your index.html
• Then you can use the element anywhere in your template, JSX, html etc
