Request Support for LWC Components

[Digadadave]

I would love to see support for Lightning Web Components (LWC).

LWC Repo: https://github.com/salesforce/lwc

Hi, thanks for opening this issue :-)

I think I need some more information. What specifically isn't supported?

I'm just guessing, but currently there are some issues analyzing dependencies that don't ship typings. However, I have a plan for how to add the support for that, I just haven't yet come around to do it.

Is that what you are experiencing?

@runem Hi Rune, I'm currently looking at integrating LWC with Storybook and wca. I created a sample project here https://github.com/priandsf/lwc-storybook to conduct the experiment.

I'm getting some decent results after adding the JSDoc. I'll figure out what is missing, if any.

To answer your question above, LWC is a bit different from native web component:

• The components must inherit from LightningElement and not HTMLElement. Moreover, many libraries are organizing components in an hierarchy with base classes.
• LWC uses a few proprietary decorators (@api, @track, @wire) that can carry useful information.
• LWC needs a wrapper to be registered as custom elements (see: buildCustomElementConstructor)
• LWC uses a template file containing the HTML to render
• there might be others that we'll discover...

Also, Salesforce could use an XML meta-data file, describing the component, in particular when it is consumed by a GUI builder. This file can provide useful information.

I'll be happy to collaborate.
