@titsoft/m-element v0.8.0

m-element

MElement class extends HTMLParsedElement with the following addition:

• constructor argument
  • { onLoadHtml } html string used in async initialization (default ''),
  • { onErrorHtml } html string used for async errors (default ''),
• methods
  • init() (sync or async) called by parsedCallback
  • originalText(remove) for getting the original textContent,
  • originalFragment(remove) for getting the original childNodes appended to a document fragment,
    • remove argument to delete from memory the text or fragment (default : true),
  • getSlotByName(name) to get all mamed slots present as custom-element children but removed and stored for later use,
• events
  • onload triggers when async init finishes (sync init also)
• attributes
  • a boolean level-up attribute to replace the just created custom-element by its children.

Usage

import MElement from `@titsoft/m-element`

customElements.define('a-custom-element', class extends MElement {
    constructor () {
        super() 
        // or super( { onLoadHtml: '<p>a waiting message</p>' } )
    }
    init() {}
    // or async init() {}
})

• Do not call connectedCallback or parsedCallback or override them,
• Use disconnectedCallback or attributeChangedCallback as usual

<a-custom-element></a-custom-element>

level-up attribute example

import MElement from `@titsoft/m-element`

customElements.define('a-custom-element', class extends MElement {
    constructor () {
        super()
    }
    // or async init() {}
    init() {
        this.innerHTML = `
            <div>I will replace my transient parent</div>
            <div>This one as well</div>
        `
    }
})

<!-- finally, this will create the two divs only -->
<a-custom-element level-up></a-custom-element>
