resolves #30279 resolves #30359 ## What is the current behavior? While Ionic's `stencil.config.ts` sets `experimentalSlotFixes: true`, the fixes never get applied at runtime. Ionic is using an external runtime, so Ionic components import `defineCustomElement` from `@stencil/core/internal/client` at runtime and this code has no awareness of the project's stencil configuration. This leads to a `NotFoundError` (Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node') when filtering or dynamically removing radios in an `ion-radio-group`. The error occurs because `ion-radio-group` wraps its slotted content in an internal `<div>`. ## What is the new behavior? By setting `externalRuntime: false`, Stencil generates a project-specific file with `defineCustomElement` that components import. This file has the project's build settings baked in, correctly applying slot fixes. Additionally, the internal wrapper `<div>` around the slotted content in `ion-radio-group` is removed. With slot fixes correctly applied and the wrapper removed, radios can be filtered or dynamically removed without triggering `NotFoundError` or `DOMExceptions`. ## Does this introduce a breaking change? - [ ] Yes - [X] No ## Other information External Runtime is enabled by default and designed for projects that import Stencil components from multiple sources. This is flawed because those components will not be running with the runtime settings for which they were made.
@ionic/core
Ionic is an open source App Development Framework that makes it easy to build top quality Native and Progressive Web Apps with web technologies.
The Ionic Core package contains the Web Components that make up the reusable UI building blocks of Ionic Framework. These components are designed to be used in traditional frontend view libraries/frameworks (such as Stencil, React, Angular, or Vue), or on their own through traditional JavaScript in the browser.
Features
- Tiny, highly optimized components built with Stencil
- Styling for both iOS and Material Design
- No build or compiling required
- Simply add the static files to any project
- Lazy-loaded components without configuration
- Asynchronous rendering
- Theming through CSS Variables
How to use
Vanilla HTML
Easiest way to start using Ionic Core is by adding a script tag to the CDN:
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ionic/core/dist/ionic/ionic.esm.js"></script>
<script nomodule src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ionic/core/dist/ionic/ionic.js"></script>
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ionic/core/css/ionic.bundle.css" rel="stylesheet">
Any Ionic component added to the webpage will automatically load. This includes writing the component tag directly in HTML, or using JavaScript such as document.createElement('ion-toggle').
Additionally, within this package is a dist/ionic.js file and accompanying dist/ionic/ directory. These are the same files which are used by the CDN, and they're available in this package so they can be apart of an app's local development.
Framework Bindings
The @ionic/core package can be used in simple HTML, or by vanilla JavaScript without any framework at all. Ionic also has packages that make it easier to integrate Ionic into a framework's traditional ecosystem and patterns. (However, at the lowest-level framework bindings are still just using Ionic Core and Web Components).
Custom Elements Build
In addition to the default, self lazy-loading components built by Stencil, this package also comes with each component exported as a stand-alone custom element within @ionic/core/components. Each component extends HTMLElement, and does not lazy-load itself. Instead, this package is useful for projects already using a bundler such as Webpack or Rollup. While all components are available to be imported, the custom elements build also ensures bundlers only import what's used, and tree-shakes any unused components.
Below is an example of importing ion-badge, and initializing Ionic so it is able to correctly load the "mode", such as Material Design or iOS. Additionally, the initialize({...}) function can receive the Ionic config.
import { defineCustomElement } from "@ionic/core/components/ion-badge.js";
import { initialize } from "@ionic/core/components";
// Initializes the Ionic config and `mode` behavior
initialize();
// Defines the `ion-badge` web component
defineCustomElement();
Notice how we import from @ionic/core/components as opposed to @ionic/core. This helps bundlers pull in only the code that is needed.
The defineCustomElement function will automatically define the component as well as any child components that may be required.
For example, if you wanted to use ion-modal, you would do the following:
import { defineCustomElement } from "@ionic/core/components/ion-modal.js";
import { initialize } from "@ionic/core/components";
// Initializes the Ionic config and `mode` behavior
initialize();
// Defines the `ion-modal` and child `ion-backdrop` web components.
defineCustomElement();
The defineCustomElement function will define ion-modal, but it will also define ion-backdrop, which is a component that ion-modal uses internally.
Using Overlay Controllers
When using an overlay controller, developers will need to define the overlay component before it can be used. Below is an example of using modalController:
import { defineCustomElement } from '@ionic/core/components/ion-modal.js';
import { initialize, modalController } from '@ionic/core/components';
initialize();
defineCustomElement();
const showModal = async () => {
const modal = await modalController.create({ ... });
...
}
