Description
In this course we will learn how to use the native web component technology to our advantage.
Design beautiful web components for Twitter using Figma
Transfer all those beautiful designs to front-end code using Lit JS
Code light & dark user interface for Twitter home page using JavaScript & Figma
Before we dive right into front-end coding, we will first design everything in Figma from scratch.
Not only will we design components in Figma, but also build a design system for our Twitter UI project
We will design reusable color, typography, & shadow styles
At the end, we transfer Figma styles to CSS variables
We will learn how to use Lit JS to develop native shareable components.
We will learn how to encapsulate our HTML and CSS into JavaScript classes using Lit JS
We will learn how to build simple future-ready native web components
We only use pure vanilla JavaScript to create customizable components and scope our CSS styles inside each of them
One of the best practices in front-end development is to reuse code as much as possible. However, transfering design to HTML markup tends to be complex.
We will use Lit JS to make our development life easy because it is built on top of native web component API
Since Lit JS uses native web component API, our development environment is simple yet powerful
That means we do not have to worry about Node Modules or JavaScript bundlers to convert our syntax to code
