There has been a recent explosion of new Web APIs and technologies available in the browser, such as Web Components and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). These new APIs and technologies offer major new capabilities to app developers and end users, and Ionic has been evolving to take advantage of them. Once built entirely on Angular, Ionic is moving all of its mobile-focused UI components to standardized Web Components, gaining dramatically reduced code size and load times in the process. Additionally, these Web Components are highly portable, working seamlessly in Angular but also in any other framework, or without any framework at all. In this talk we’ll describe how the Ionic team ported a large Angular UI component set to Web Components, building a new project called Stencil in the process to make building these Web Components easier than ever. We’ll talk about Angular Web Component interoperability, and why you might want to explore creating reusable Web Components for your own projects.
