Facebook just updated its relationship status with web components

React 19 has added full support for web components, a feature many developers have been eagerly awaiting. Web components allow developers to create reusable custom elements and use them across different frameworks or even without any framework at all. This addition is expected to improve the ergonomics of using web components in React applications by allowing event listeners as React props and enabling automatic setting of properties on the element. However, some challenges remain, such as the globally scoped element register, which may be unfamiliar to React developers. Overall, this development marks a step towards more framework-agnostic web application development, with potential benefits for all web application developers.
