Material components

[armanbilge]

I've created a new project to experiment with supporting Material components in Calico.

• https://github.com/armanbilge/calico-material

It is based on the web components that are being developed for Material 3.

• https://m3.material.io/
• https://github.com/material-components/material-web

At the moment, the difficult part is finding the right encoding to express the API. It's complicated by the fact that components have their own custom properties, that are specific to each component, but whose names may clash with standard HTML attributes/properties.

Once we figure that out, it should also serve as a template for how to integrate with other web component libraries. For example, UI5, like Laminar has.

In the long-term, I think it would be really interesting to publish component data and source generators, like scala-dom-types does for the standard HTML/SVG tags. Then it can be easy to share that as well between Scala.js web frameworks.

I opened a ticket on Scala Dom Types about some of the encoding issues I am facing.
