AuthorBaseElement @author.io/element-base?path=dist"">

This is the base class used to build Author.io custom HTML elements (web components). It provides incredibly lightweight utilities and was designed for optimizing all <author-*> custom tags.

@author @author.io/element-base.svg?colorB=%23333333&label=Minified-Gzipped&logo=JavaScript&style=for-the-badge" alt="Deliverable Size"> @author @author.io/element-base.svg?colorB=%23333&label=%40author.io%2Felement-base&logo=npm&style=for-the-badge" alt="npm">

We’re using BrowserStack to make sure these components work on the browsers developers care about.

Usage

This library must be included once in HTML pages before any author-* tags.

There are 4 versions of the base class available:

author-base.min.js (ES6 Minified for Production)
author-base.js (ES6 Unminified for Debugging)
author-base.es5.min.js (ES5 Minified for Production)
author-base.es5.js (ES5 Unminified for Debugging)

Each version has it’s own source map, so it’s always possible to trace activity back to a specific code block in the source.

You only need to choose one of these files. If you need to support Internet Explorer, older versions of Chrome/Firefox/Safari, then you likely need the ES5 version.
