Start a new project by following our quick Getting Started guide. We would love to hear from you! If you have any feedback or run into issues using Stencil, please file an issue on this repository.
A Stencil component looks a lot like a class-based React component, with the addition of TypeScript decorators:
import { Component, Prop, h } from '@stencil/core';
@Component({
tag: 'my-component', // the name of the component's custom HTML tag
styleUrl: 'my-component.css', // css styles to apply to the component
shadow: true, // this component uses the ShadowDOM
})
export class MyComponent {
// The component accepts two arguments:
@Prop() first: string;
@Prop() last: string;
//The following HTML is rendered when our component is used
render() {
return (
<div>
Hello, my name is {this.first} {this.last}
</div>
);
}
}The component above can be used like any other HTML element:
<my-component first="Stencil" last="JS"></my-component>Since Stencil generates web components, they work in any major framework or with no framework at all. In many cases, Stencil can be used as a drop in replacement for traditional frontend framework, though using it as such is certainly not required.
