    @event() click = {
        '@title': this.onClick(),
        '@button': this.onClick()
    };
    @event() ready = {
        'other-component': this.onReady()
    };

    onHover() {
        console.log('Hover Component');
    }
    onClick(e) {
        console.log(e.currentTarget);
    }
    onReady({ detail }) {
        console.log(detail);

Tips

Shared style

Composition

Conditional

Loop

Variable element

Shared style

Include global styles in a component.

import { css } from 'nativeweb';
import global from '../global-style.css.js';

export default [
    global,
    css`
        h1 {
            color: orange;
        }
    `
];

Composition

Component composition with default slot and named slot.

import { component, Element } from 'nativeweb';

@component('slot-example')
class Component extends Element {
    render() {
        return `
            <header>
                <h1><slot name="title"></slot></h1>
                <slot></slot>
            </header>
        `;
    }
}

<slot-example>
    <span slot="title">Named slot</span>
    <p>Default slot</p>
</slot-example>

Conditional

Conditional rendering in vanilla JS.

import { component, property, Element } from 'nativeweb';

@component('condition-example')
class Component extends Element {
    @property() isGood = false;

    render() {
        return `
            ${this.isGood ? `<h1>Good</h1>` : ``}
        `;
    }
}

Loop

Render loop in vanilla JS.

import { component, property, Element } from 'nativeweb';

@component('loop-example')
class Component extends Element {
    @property() emojis = ['🤳', '🧨', '🧱'];

    render() {
        return `
            ${this.emojis.map(item => `<span>${item}</span>`).join('')}
        `;
    }
}

Variable element

Render an element from a property.

import { component, property, Element } from 'nativeweb';

@component('element-example')
class Component extends Element {
    @property() as = 'p';

    render() {
        return `
            <${this.as}>Heading 1</${this.as}>
        `;
    }
}

<element-example as="h1"></element-example>
