Credit card form web component tutorial
Blog post from LogRocket
Building a credit card form using web components enables developers to create a reusable and consistent solution for collecting payment information across various websites, regardless of the platform. This approach consolidates multiple input fields such as the cardholder's name, card number, expiration date, and CVV into a single custom HTML element, enhancing error correction and styling encapsulation. The tutorial demonstrates how to construct such a component using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, integrating it with the shadow DOM to maintain styling consistency and privacy, and making it form-associated for seamless data submission. It highlights the importance of implementing content validation techniques, such as the Luhn algorithm for card number verification and pattern matching for the CVV, to ensure data accuracy before submission. Despite browser compatibility issues with form-associated components, solutions like polyfills are suggested to enhance cross-browser support, making this method a robust tool for developers aiming to streamline and secure payment processes on the frontend.
