https://youtu.be/jUQ2-C5ZNRc?t=683 https://youtu.be/jUQ2-C5ZNRc?t=683 Looks like the spec is at https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scoping-1/ https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scoping-1/ with examples like https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scoping-1/#example-f1503361 https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scoping-1/#example-f1503361 and more details at https://css.oddbird.net/scope/ https://css.oddbird.net/scope/
Still experimental of course, but could be very useful if implemented alongside Shadow DOM. Note this isn't 2012's scoped CSS: https://caniuse.com/style-scoped https://caniuse.com/style-scoped
If we get this the only thing I'll continue to dislike about Web Components would be the global namespace of web components and that Web components HTML attributes can't be rich objects or arrays natively. (I'd love it if web browsers simply implemented JSX, for example, or a syntax that looks like DOM but is actually a function call that can produce DOM. Bonus points if they also implement Markdown or MDX as an HTML element of some kind.)
- throw_m239339 5y agoCSS scoping without a hacky third party framework is long overdue. Web components largely failed at this point though, the spec needs to be rewritten from scratch to be more pragmatic. People have been using React and Co for more than a decade now, spec writers certainly have enough hindsight as to how people practically program front-end applications.
- earthboundkid 5y agoWeb components are a great brand for a collection of mostly awful APIs. Shadow DOM in particular should have just been a CSS property from the start. Glad to see someone starting to recognize this.
- earthboundkid 5y agoNever-mind, read the link. It's just shoveling more crap on top of the existing shadow DOM instead of finally just cutting bait and making a CSS property called `inherit: reset;` like they should have done to begin with.
- mook 5y agoPeople have been using XBL in Mozilla before all the web components work started, so… I wouldn't hold my breath. Looking it up, archive.org says it's been over 20 years… https://web.archive.org/web/20001218094100/https://www.mozilla.org/projects/xbl/xbl.html https://web.archive.org/web/20001218094100/https://www.mozil...
- lenkite 5y agoPlease give me web-components without Javascript and I'll start using them heavily.
- throw_m239339 5y agowell, it was kind of the whole point of XHTML2 spec. The Web component spec is just an inferior version of it, that's why it failed.
