How best to define custom elements?

[Matt DeMoss]

I've implemented a custom element for recurring tasks. I found this easier than implementing the same thing as a widget module, which seems to require constructing HTML indirectly via objects describing elements.

How should this best be organized as a TW5 plugin? My initial thoughts are that the JS that defines the custom element and calls customElements.define should be a "startup" module while the template could be stored in an HTML tiddler.

Hi Matt

I've implemented a custom element for recurring tasks. I found this easier than implementing the same thing as a widget module, which seems to require constructing HTML indirectly via objects describing elements.

Interesting! And should work well for some cases.

That sounds exactly right. 

Best wishes
