Open Web Components (open-wc) is a collection of guides, recommendations, generators, and tools for developing web components in JavaScript. It provides opinionated defaults for scaffolding, linting, testing, building, demoing, and publishing web component projects.

Use cases

• scaffold a new web component project
• add recommended linting and testing to an existing web components repo
• set up rollup build config for web components
• demo web components with storybook
• learn best practices for developing web components
• publish and automate web component packages

When to choose

• you are starting or maintaining a standards-based web components project
• you want opinionated, battle-tested defaults for the full web component lifecycle
• you work with lit-element or vanilla web components and want community recommendations

When to avoid

• you need a full application framework with routing and state management built in
• your project is React/Vue/Angular based and does not use web components
• you want a single small library rather than a suite of tools and generators
