"Why don't you use that other library?"
So why not just use something like Vue, Riot or even React? Well, they're full featured UI libraries that offer way more than I usually need. Some features provided by such libraries that data-components don't care about at all:
- Reinvent Web Components
- Rendering Performance
- Templating
- The component API
- Data binding
- Dependency injection
- Event system
- Messaging system
- Fancy stuff like filters and directives
- Programming paradigm
We just use regular data attributes and a list of ids (component name) that correspond to a simple function (component implementation). Just look at the source code, there's really not much to it.
