Overview of this book

Web Components are a set of APIs that help you build reusable UI modules that can operate in any modern browser using just Vanilla JavaScript. The power of Web Components lies in their ability to build frontend web applications with or without web frameworks. With this practical guide, you will understand how Web Components can help you build reusable UI components for your modern web apps. The book starts by explaining the fundamentals of Web Components' design and strategies for using them in your existing frontend web projects. You will also learn how to use JavaScript libraries such as Polymer.js and Stencil.js for building practical components. As you progress, you will build a single-page application using only Web Components to fully realize their potential. This practical guide demonstrates how to work with Shadow DOM and custom elements to build the standard components of a web application. Toward the end of the book, you will learn how to integrate Web Components with standard web frameworks to help you manage large-scale web applications. By the end of this book, you will have learned about the capabilities of Web Components in building custom elements and have the necessary skills for building a reusable UI for your web applications.

Implementing routing

Until now, we have been manually changing the code to see different pages of our single-page web app. Also, we have not talked about the header component yet. In this section, we will take a look at the header component, update the URLs based on the link, and make sure our page view changes based on the link clicked. 

So, let's take a look at the <custom-header> component:

constructor() {

// We are not even going to touch this.
super();

// lets create our shadow root
this.shadowObj = this.attachShadow({mode: 'open'});

this.render();
}

The constructor() method is straightforward. Let's take a look at the render() method:

render() {
this.shadowObj.innerHTML = this.getTemplate();
}

getTemplate() {
return `
<ul class="custom-header__ul">
<li class="custom-header__li">
