Episode 147 - Javascript Frameworks vs Web Components

from Just Five Mins! · host David Sheardown

The ebb and flow… “this is great”… “this is bad…” the neverending movement. Well, there isn’t anything wrong with Javascript frameworks… use what you need and what you love. However, given the modern state of Javascript (and Typescript if that is your thing), do you really need the frameworks? What about just plain web components? web components have been around for years and so has LIT (link here) to help build web components (reactive and all that good stuff). LIT is really just a small library (not a framework) weighing in at just 5kb. Hey, this is a free podcast. However, if you feel you want to support me, then check out Patreon. I will have some more detailed deep dives for Patreon members as well as one-to-one sessions. Or just buy a unicorn a coffee here! Oh, and yes, I have ended up on YouTube (doesn’t everyone eventually?): https://www.youtube.com/@justfifteenmins but don’t worry, no ugly face to worry about (yet!).
