Shoelace

Shoelace is a forward-thinking library of web components built with modern web standards that work with any JavaScript framework or no framework at all. The library provides a comprehensive collection of customizable, accessible UI components including buttons, forms, dialogs, menus, icons, and layout utilities. Shoelace components are built as custom elements using the Web Components specification, making them framework-agnostic and usable in React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or vanilla HTML. The library emphasizes accessibility with ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support built into every component. Shoelace uses CSS custom properties (CSS variables) for theming, allowing developers to customize colors, spacing, typography, and other design tokens to match their brand. Components are tree-shakeable and can be imported individually to minimize bundle size, and they work with or without a build step. The library includes a rich set of icons from Bootstrap Icons and provides utilities for animation, localization, and form validation. Shoelace is designed for the modern web with features like shadow DOM encapsulation to prevent style conflicts. It's popular among developers building design systems, seeking framework-independent components, or modernizing applications with web standards-based architecture.
