Lit + TypeScript + Material Web + Webpack Project

This project is a web application built with Lit and TypeScript, bundled using Webpack, and integrates Material Web Components for the UI.

Features

• Lit for building fast, lightweight web components.
• TypeScript for type-safe JavaScript development.
• Material Web Components for beautiful, accessible UI elements.
• Webpack for bundling and managing development and production builds.
• Live reload for a smooth development experience.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

To get started, you need to have Node.js installed on your machine. You can download it from Node.js official website.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/avnerma/ts-lit-material-wp.git
   cd yourproject

2. Install the dependencies: Make sure you're in the project directory, and run the following command to install the required dependencies:

   npm install

Development

During development, you can use the Webpack Dev Server for live reloading and hot module replacement.

1. Run the development server:

   npm run dev

2. Open your browser: Webpack Dev Server will automatically open your default browser, but if not, you can manually open:

   http://localhost:8080
   

3. Make changes: Any changes made in the source files (src/) will trigger a live reload, updating the browser automatically.

Building for Production

To create a production-ready build, Webpack will minify and optimize the output.

1. Build the project for production:

   npm run build

2. The bundled files will be output into the dist/ directory, ready for deployment.

Using Lit and Material Web

This project demonstrates how to create a custom Lit component and integrate Material Web Components. The custom element <my-element> is defined in my-element.ts and uses Material Web's button component (md-filled-button).

Example Custom Element (Lit Component)

The custom component is created using Lit, and it can be easily reused:

<my-element name="Lit"></my-element>

The component includes a Material Web button, which you can interact with.

Example my-element.ts:

import { LitElement, html, css } from 'lit';
import { customElement, property } from 'lit/decorators.js';
import '@material/web/button/filled-button.js';

@customElement('my-element')
export class MyElement extends LitElement {
  
  @property({ type: String }) name = 'World';

  static styles = css`
    :host {
      display: block;
      padding: 16px;
    }
  `;

  render() {
    return html`
      <h1>Hello, ${this.name}!</h1>
      <md-filled-button @click=${this.handleClick}>Click me</md-filled-button>
    `;
  }

  handleClick() {
    alert(`Hello, ${this.name}!`);
  }
}
