Custom Elements, or How to Make it Easy for People to Use Your Code
Making your application available for a customer to integrate in their site can be hard. Maybe they can iFrame your application, maybe add some parameters to get it in their look and feel. But I’ve never really liked the iFrame route if I could avoid it.
You can make your API available and they can code against that in their own software to use your back end. But that can be a lot of work.
Wouldn’t it be great to just let them add one or more tags to their page, and it works out of the box?
Welcome to Custom Elements! You build the components yourself, and the users can just add a link to a script file, add a custom element to their page and it’s done! They don’t need to install anything locally, they don’t need to call your APIs directly, and there is no iFrame in sight!
In this session we are going to look at the power of custom elements, and make one ourself using Vue. When you leave here you’ll be ready to bring your code to your customers web sites without the hassle of integrating directly with their systems!
