🔗 🍽️ Examples & Recipes

Discover practical examples and patterns for building reactive, modular components with UIElement. Each example focuses on showcasing a specific feature or best practice, guiding you through real-world use cases.

🔗 What You'll Learn

This collection of examples demonstrates a range of scenarios, from simple state updates in a single component to managing complex interactions across multiple components. Here's an overview of what you'll find:

Basic Composition: TabList and AccordionPanel - See how a parent component can control the visibility of multiple child components, showcasing state sharing and communication between components.
Syntax Highlighting: - See how wrapping content in a CodeBlock component enables syntax highlighting on the client, demonstrating integration with third-party libraries.
Fetching Data Example: LazyLoad - Learn how to fetch content only when needed, handling asynchronous operations and updating state reactively as data is loaded.
Form Validation Example: InputField with Client-Side & Server-Side Validation - Validate input fields based on requirements passed from the server and dynamically check the validity of entries, such as checking the availability of usernames via server requests.
Context Example: MediaContext - Discover how to share state globally across components using context, with practical use cases like adapting to media queries and responsive design.

Whether you're getting started with a basic component or building a full-featured application, these examples will help you understand how to use UIElement effectively to build reactive Web Components.

🔗 MediaContext Example

The MediaContext component provides global state to any sub-components in its DOM tree by exposing context for responsive and adaptive features. It tracks the following:

Media Motion (media-motion): Indicates whether the user prefers reduced motion based on the (prefers-reduced-motion) media query.
*Media Theme (media-theme): Provides the user's preferred color scheme, such as dark mode, based on the (prefers-color-scheme) media query.
Media Viewport (media-viewport): Indicates the current viewport size and is classified into different sizes (e.g., xs, sm, md, lg, xl). Custom breakpoints can be configured by setting attributes on the <media-context> element.
Media Orientation (media-orientation): Tracks the device's screen orientation, switching between landscape and portrait.

🔗 Configuring Breakpoints

The viewport sizes can be customized by providing attributes on the <media-context> element:

sm: Small screen breakpoint (default: 32em).
md: Medium screen breakpoint (default: 48em).
lg: Large screen breakpoint (default: 72em).
xl: Extra large screen breakpoint (default: 108em).

For example, to set a small breakpoint at 40em and a medium breakpoint at 60em, use:

html

<media-context sm="40em" md="60em"></media-context>

Source code:
