Best for

  • Building cross-framework component libraries for design systems that work in React, Vue, Angular, and vanilla HTML
  • Creating embeddable widgets (payment forms, chat widgets, analytics dashboards) that integrate into any website
  • Developing reusable UI primitives (buttons, inputs, modals, cards) that survive framework migrations
  • Building micro-frontend boundaries with encapsulated components using Shadow DOM
  • Implementing organization-wide design tokens and component APIs using CSS Custom Properties and slots

What you'll get

  • Complete Web Component class with lifecycle methods, Shadow DOM template, CSS Custom Properties documentation, and usage examples for multiple frameworks
  • Lit-based component library with TypeScript definitions, Storybook documentation, and npm package configuration for cross-framework distribution
  • Design system component architecture with token-based theming, slot composition patterns, and framework adapter examples
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Building entire single-page applications or complex application logic
  • ×Creating components that need deep framework integration like Next.js server components or Vue Composition API reactivity
  • ×Application-specific components that will never be shared outside one framework
  • ×Components requiring heavy state management or complex data binding patterns
Expects

Clear component requirements including target frameworks, API surface needs (attributes, properties, events, slots), styling customization requirements, and cross-framework compatibility constraints.

Returns

Production-ready Web Component implementations with documented APIs, CSS Custom Properties for theming, proper Shadow DOM encapsulation, and framework integration examples.
