It aims to address two key issues in the way we manage Web based projects today...\n\n- With the advent of Web Components, applications and their dependencies are quickly becoming hard to maintain as they grow. For example, a small change in a child component with uncontrolled dependencies can lead to breaking changes in the consuming application that are hard to debug.\n\n- For projects that are bundled into a single file, making even the smallest of changes means that the user must load the entire source from scratch. This can be an expensive process, and is not future compatible with the arrival of HTTP/2.0 and similar protocols in most modern browsers.\n\nWith WCM, applications have explicitly defined dependencies that are resolved at runtime using the `\u003cwcm-shell\u003e` tag. These dependencies may be loaded fully before the application is bootstrapped, or deferred until actually required.\n\nThis allows for continuous releases of a given dependency component, without affecting the end user.\n\n## Installation\nWe push versions to both NPM, under [the Ctek organisation](https://www.npmjs.com/org/ctek), and Bower directly by it's name.\n\n```bash\n# Install via NPM from our organisation\nnpm i @ctek/wcm-browser\n\n# Install via Bower\nbower i wcm\n```\n\n## Notes about usage\nThis library currently relies on [WebComponents.js](https://github.com/webcomponents/webcomponentsjs) when used in browsers that have not yet implemented basic support for Web Components. It's important that this is loaded before loading WCM, meaning that the head of your index file should include something similar to this:\n\n```html\n\u003c!-- Shim Web Components --\u003e\n\u003cscript src=\"path/to/packages/.../webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.js\"\u003e\u003c/script\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Load WCM --\u003e\n\u003cscript src=\"path/to/packages/.../wcm.js\"\u003e\u003c/script\u003e\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcentury-tech%2Fwcm-browser","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcentury-tech%2Fwcm-browser","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcentury-tech%2Fwcm-browser/lists"}
