Provides server-side rendering support for native web components / custom elements
- Plain PHP and JavaScript
- Native web components
- Minimal dependencies
PHP is easy to install, if not already present on you computer. PHP runs pretty much everywhere. PHP is flexible.
JavaScript is in a similar boat. It's readily available and flexible. Modern browser JavaScript is more than capable.
This project also scratches an itch to see how much PHP and JavaScript can work together to handle this problem domain.
- PHP 7.1+
- Composer (for PHP autoloader only)
web-component-hydration
cd examples/simple && yarn install
cd ../.. && composer start
This will install a local copy of web-component-hydration and call the start Composer script defined in composer.json and execute the built-in PHP server.
On page load, PHP will output a template file as HTML. It will also prepare the client-side template. Once the DOM has loaded, the JavaScript will load the web component's custom element and replace all PHP created instances of the template with browser/JavaScript created instances.
