documentation for just using straight web-components?

[acroyear]

The examples/setup are all for the big frameworks. I'm at the other end, where most of my work is just writing plain web-components (which i might later utilize in one of those frameworks). I'm generally on a pin to sticking to zero-dependencies for some of the work i need to do.

So basically I'd be interested in documentation and setup that supports just making and demoing vanilla-js web-components.

That's a good idea, there just hasn't been much demand for it. I've never written web-components before, so I'm just not sure what patterns to look for.

Are they always implemented as subclasses of HTMLElement, like class HelloWorld extends HTMLElement {?

If you have an example repo that we could use to test this out, it'd be helpful too.
