A suite of polyfills supporting the Web Components specs:
Custom Elements: allows authors to define their own custom tags (spec).
HTML Imports: a way to include and reuse HTML documents via other HTML documents (spec).
Shadow DOM: provides encapsulation by hiding DOM subtrees under shadow roots (spec).
This also folds in polyfills for MutationObserver and WeakMap.
Pre-built (concatenated & minified) versions of the polyfills are maintained in the tagged versions of this repo. There are two variants:
webcomponents.js includes all of the polyfills.
webcomponents-lite.js includes all polyfills except for shadow DOM.
Our polyfills are intended to work in the latest versions of evergreen browsers. See below for our complete browser support matrix:
| Polyfill | IE10 | IE11+ | Chrome | Firefox | Safari 7+ | Chrome Android | Mobile Safari* | | ———- |:—-:|:—–:|:——-:|:——–:|:———-:|:—————:|:————–:| | Custom Elements | ~ | ? | ? | ? | ? | ?| ? | | HTML Imports | ~ | ? | ? | ? | ?| ?| ? | | Shadow DOM | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | | Templates | ? | ? | ? | ?| ? | ? | ? |
*Indicates the current version of the browser
~Indicates support may be flaky. If using Custom Elements or HTML Imports with Shadow DOM, you will get the non-flaky Mutation Observer polyfill that Shadow DOM includes.
The polyfills may work in older browsers, however require additional polyfills (such as classList) to be used. We cannot guarantee support for browsers outside of our compatibility matrix.
If you wish to build the polyfills yourself, you'll need node and gulp on your system:
npm to install gulp.js: npm install -g gulpNow you are ready to build the polyfills with:
# install dependencies
npm install
# build
gulp build
The builds will be placed into the dist/ directory.

In Safari and IE, instances of Custom Elements have a constructor property of HTMLUnknownElementConstructor and HTMLUnknownElement, respectively. It's unsafe to rely on this property for checking element types.
It's worth noting that customElement.__proto__.__proto__.constructor is HTMLElementPrototype and that the prototype chain isn't modified by the polyfills(onto ElementPrototype, etc.)
Using the MutationObserver polyfill, it isn't possible to monitor mutations of an element marked contenteditable.

See #16 for background.
Under the shadow DOM polyfill, rules like:
t-context(.foo):host(.bar) {...}
don't work, despite working under native Shadow DOM. The solution is to use polyfill-next-selector like:
fill-next-selector { content: '.foo :host.bar, :host.foo.bar'; }
See #212
execCommand, and contenteditable aren't supported under the ShadowDOM polyfill, with commands that insert or remove nodes being especially prone to failure.
