🕸️ Web Components

Web components empower you to create reusable, encapsulated custom elements that enrich your plugins. Whether you're a seasoned developer or new to web components, this section will guide you through defining and styling them in the context of Outerbase.

How to Define a Web Component

Here's a simple example to get you started with defining a web component:

class MyComponent extends HTMLElement {
  connectedCallback() {
    this.innerHTML = `<p>Hello, Web Component!</p>`;
  }
}

customElements.define('my-component', MyComponent);

Styling Web Components

In your project, we've defined a set of named CSS variables so that you align your web components with our style guide. These variables make it easy to customize the look and feel of your components while adhering to a shared design system.

class StyledComponent extends HTMLElement {
  connectedCallback() {
    this.attachShadow({ mode: 'open' });
    this.shadowRoot.innerHTML = `
      <style>
        .paragraph {
          background-color: var(--ob-background-color);
          font-family: var(--ob-font-family);
          width: 25px;
        }
      </style>
      <p class="paragraph">Styled Body Text</p>
    `;
  }
}

customElements.define('styled-component', StyledComponent);

Available CSS Variables

Here are the named CSS variables available for use in your web components:

    --ob-background-color: #0A0A0A;
    --ob-text-color: #D4D4D4;
    --ob-border-color: #262626;
    --ob-font-family: "Inter", sans-serif;    
    --ob-cell-font-family: "input-mono", monospace;
