This is a new endeavor for Caltech Library. Our practices are evolving as we develop this project. You should expected periodically make course corrections. The following documentation will highlight our approaches and techniques to solving the challenges of developing a web component library for libraries, archives and museums.
See the user manual for developer documentation.
New web components should be placed in the src
directory. This is so they can be bundled into the complete
cl-web-components.js. It also allows us to leverage other
JavaScript or type script packages hosted at jsr.io. Bundled versions of the components are
presented in the root repository along side the mod.js
file.
If you need to update an existing web components you should do so in
the src directory. If you “fix” the one in the root
directory it’ll get overwritten the next time the bundler is run.
