browser-support

A web component for showing browser-support data from the Web Features project.

This is inspired by the official baseline-status component from Google and the Web Platform DX community group. It currently uses their https://api.webstatus.dev/v1/features/ API.

Features

• Stand-alone component, without Lit or other frameworks
• Responsive to font sizes, available space, and light/dark schemes
• Allows customization of the title markup (h2 by default)
• 'Newly supported' web features show a timeline towards broad support
• Allows for simple light-dom fallback & progressive enhancement

Demo

Examples

General usage example:

<script type="module" src="browser-support.js"></script>

<browser-support data-feature="container-queries"></browser-support>

<!-- With a light-dom fallback… -->
<browser-support>
  <h3 slot="title">Container Style Queries</h3>
  <a href="https://web-platform-dx.github.io/web-features-explorer/features/container-style-queries/">
    Browser support data
  </a>
</browser-support>

Installation

You have a few options (choose one):

1. Install via npm: npm install @oddbird/browser-support
2. Download the source manually from GitHub into your project.
3. Skip this step and use the script directly via a 3rd party CDN (not recommended for production use)

Usage

Make sure you include the <script> in your project (choose one, and update the version number as needed):

<!-- Host yourself -->
<script type="module" src="browser-support.js"></script>

<!-- 3rd party CDN, not recommended for production use -->
<script
  type="module"
  src="https://www.unpkg.com/@oddbird/[email protected]/browser-support.js"
></script>

<!-- 3rd party CDN, not recommended for production use -->
<script
  type="module"
  src="https://esm.sh/@oddbird/[email protected]"
></script>

Or use the built-in WebC component with Eleventy, by adding "npm:@oddbird/browser-support/*.webc" to the Eleventy WebC Plugin components registry:

// Only one module.exports per configuration file, please!
module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.addPlugin(eleventyWebcPlugin, {
    components: [
      // Add as a global WebC component
      "npm:@oddbird/browser-support/*.webc",
    ],
  });
}

Slots

The title slot allows providing a fallback title, and also the desired markup. When the component is defined, the actual title text will be replaced with the name of the feature.

ToDo

• Provide more clarity around the progress bar?
• Improve and document styling options
• List mobile browser support data
• Show browser versions (or how many versions back?)
• Allow changing title markup with an attribute?
