bower install https://github.com/uniqname/winston-churchill.gitThe WC object is exposed as a global in order to provide access to it's functionality across imported components. There are only three properties on the WC object. All other functionality comes in the form of extensions and typically are a part of winston-churchill component prototype or instance.
The register method is the way components are registered with the document and is primarily a light wrapper around the native document.registerElement with a handful of extras. One of those extras is extending the prototype of a web component with winston-churchill extensions.
TODO: allow for register-time extensions.
The extensions property is a dictionary of winston-churchill extensions that all winston-churchill components will have access to in their prototype. These extensions can be added directly:
WC.extionsions[extensionName] = function () { ... }or, preferably by calling a winston-churchill extension's initialization function:
import someExtension from './extensions/someExtension';
someExtension();These initialization functions will typically bind to the either the component's prototype or to the component instance at one of the native lifecycle events.
An instance of a winston chruchill component will have all included extensions available to it. Nearly all of these extensions are optional, with events being the one exception.
