I'm new to Web components and I am trying to create a very simple component to understand how it works. But I have a problem creating one. I followed the steps mentioned in both chrome and Mozilla docs but I still cant create one successfully and also couldn't find the problem.
class toolTip extends HTMLElement {
var msg = this.getAttribute('msg');
var value = this.getAttribute('value');
console.log(msg);
console.log(value);
this.innerHTML = msg + ' - ' + value;
}
customElements.define('mdm-tooltip', toolTip);
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Web Components</title>
</head>
<body>
<mdm-tooltip value='1st tooltip' msg='this the 1st tooltip created using WC'></mdm-tooltip>
<mdm-tooltip value='2nd tooltip' msg='I replaced the existing text'>Im the existing text</mdm-tooltip>
</body>
<script src="main.js" defer></script>
</html>
This is the error browser throws, I'm running this code in Chrome V67.0.3396.99
Within a class, you need to define methods that actually contain executable code. In your case, your code looks a lot like initialization code, so a constructor seems appropriate.
class ToolTip extends HTMLElement {
constructor() {
let msg = this.getAttribute('msg');
let value = this.getAttribute('value');
console.log(msg);
console.log(value);
this.innerHTML = msg + ' - ' + value;
}
}
customElements.define('mdm-tooltip', ToolTip);
Also, one of the naming conventions in JavaScript is that classes should be pascal-cased (start with a capital letter).
