Lit Integration

Open Cells is built to be compatible with any web component implementation, providing developers with the flexibility to choose their preferred library. However, we specifically recommend using Lit due to its numerous advantages for building web components. Lit is favored because it simplifies the development process significantly. It is not only easy to learn but also lightweight, fast and efficient, making it an ideal choice for high-performance applications.

• Ease of web components creation: Lit makes it exceptionally straightforward to develop web components, featuring a concise and intuitive API.
• Performance and Efficiency: designed for speed, Lit ensures your applications run smoothly with minimal performance overhead.
• Feature-Rich: Lit comes with a variety of built-in features that are ready to use 'out of the box' with Open Cells. These include:
  • Reactive components: define UI based on state that updates efficiently in response to data changes.
  • Built-in and customs directives: customize and power up how template expressions are rendered.
  • Controllers: enable encapsulated management of state and behaviors, integrating seamlessly with a component’s lifecycle.
  • Async Tasks: solve rendering operations which depends on asynchronous data, ensuring a responsive user interface. Using Lit enhances Open Cells’s capabilities, leveraging these advanced features to deliver more dynamic and responsive applications.

To fully benefit from Lit within the Open Cells framework, we encourage you to explore the comprehensive Lit documentation. It offers detailed guidance on using context for propagating data across component trees, employing built-in and custom directives for sophisticated template management and managing application state and behaviors with controllers. The documentation also provides insights into handling asynchronous operations effectively, optimizing both performance and user experience.
