Custom Elements "Neat"

Joe Gregorio
“Neat” – as applied to drinks served in bars – refers to a shot of liquor poured directly from the bottle and into a glass. There is no chilling involved with a “neat” drink. There is never an additional ingredient in a drink served “neat”.

The Custom Elements V1 spec has reached concensus and implementations are going well, which is all great news, but what I find surprising is the lack of VanillaJS custom elements on WebComponents.org. Doing a simple search for “vanilla” only returns a smattering of elements at this time.

I’ve been working on a set of such elements myself, and went looking for others to compare and contrast against, and was surprised to find so little. It would be nice to have a larger selection of “neat” elements to choose from.

For the curious, here’s a screenshot of the elements I’ve gotten so far:

I’ll point to the code once it reaches a slightly less embarassing stage.
