Announcing Wired-Elements 2.0

I'm happy to announce the 2.0 release of wired-elements. It started of, and still is, a fun project to work on. In this era of really slick and buttery smooth design systems, a brutal and rough beacon of light 😉

In this release, the underlying base code for all components was refactored to create smaller and more efficient components. By more efficient, I mean fewer re-renders of the sketchy shapes. This was done mainly by not re-rendering shapes if the dimensions do not change, and also by utilizing the Resize Observer where it's available.

View all components in action in the wired-elements showcase.

New components in 2.0 👇

wired-calendar

This is the first fully community contributed component. Eduardo Martinez created this. The calendar is customizable in many ways, for details check out the wired-calendar readme.
