Customizing Components

You can customize the built-in components or create your own components by subclassing the fronty.html.BaseElement class. Let's see how to create a custom component.

from fronty.html import (
    BaseElement,
    Text
)


class CustomComponent(BaseElement):
    def __init__(self, *children, **attributes):
        super().__init__('custom-component', *children, **attributes)

        # Optional attributes if you want to add any custom attributes
        self._attributes['custom-attribute'] = 'custom-value'

        # Optional children if you want to add any custom children
        self._children = [
            Text('This is a custom component.'),
        ]

Now, you can use this component in your application.
