Lion Web Components

export default {
  title: 'Intro/Lion Web Components',
};

Lion web components is a set of highly performant, accessible and flexible Web Components. They provide an unopinionated, white label layer that can be extended to your own layer of components.

For some more details see the announcement blog post.

TODOs

Demos

We do have a live Storybook which shows all our components.

Please note: This project uses Yarn Workspaces. If you want to run all demos locally you need to get Yarn and install all dependencies by executing yarn install.

The code examples make use of Javascript tagged template literals which are a key component of the lit-html engine used in Lion. Additionally imports like import '@lion/form/lion-form.js' need to be transformed somehow, for example by es-dev-server.

Features

  • pure es modules
  • exposes functions/classes and web components
  • provides pure functionality
  • fully accessible
  • built to be extended

Note: These demos may look a little bland but that is on purpose. They only come with functional stylings. This makes sense as the main use case is to extend those components and if you do you do not want to override existing stylings.

Content

Lion web components is logically organized in groups of systems.

The accessibility column indicates whether the functionality is accessible in its core. Aspects like styling and content determine actual accessibility in usage.

How to install

npm i @lion/<package-name>

How to use

Use a Web Component

<script type="module">
  import '@lion/input/lion-input.js';
</script>

<lion-input name="firstName"></lion-input>

Use a JavaScript system

<script type="module">
  import { ajax } from '@lion/ajax';

  ajax.get('data.json').then(response => {
    // most likely you will use response.data
  });
</script>

Extend a Web Component

import { LionInput } from '@lion/input';

class MyInput extends LionInput {}
customElements.define('my-input', MyInput);

Key Features

  • High Performance - Focused on great performance in all relevant browsers with a minimal number of dependencies
  • Accessibility - Aimed at compliance with the WCAG 2.0 AA standard to create components that are accessible for everybody
  • Flexibility - Provides solutions through Web Components and JavaScript classes which can be used, adopted and extended to fit all needs

Technologies

Lion Web Components aims to be future proof and use well-supported proven technology. The stack we have chosen should reflect this.

Rationale

We know from experience that making high quality, accessible UI components is hard and time consuming: it takes many iterations, a lot of development time and a lot of testing to get a generic component that works in every context, supports many edge cases and is accessible in all relevant screen readers.

Lion aims to do the heavy lifting for you. This means you only have to apply your own Design System: by delivering styles, configuring components and adding a minimal set of custom logic on top.
