My Unique Component Creation Journey
I have meticulously crafted a custom component to enhance the navigation of my application. The core structure consists of an ul element, with each li item dynamically generated based on the contents of the router's navigation list. This entire process unfolds within the attached event of the component, nothing too out of the ordinary.
Adding a Touch of Elegance
In pursuit of a visually appealing menu design, I decided to introduce a custom attribute into the root ul element of the component. Within the attached event of this custom attribute, my aim is to execute some DOM manipulations that would elevate the appearance of the menu to match those designed by trendsetting developers.
Navigating Through a Conundrum
Despite the fact that the attached event of the custom attribute gets triggered AFTER the attached event of the custom component, the dynamically created li elements are not yet present in the DOM during the execution of the attached event for the custom attribute.
A Question of Timing
My initial belief was that upon triggering the attached event, the view of the component would be attached to the DOM along with all preceding components. Consequently, once done with the attached event, any dynamically created HTML should also be incorporated into the DOM. Am I misguided in this assumption?
A Personal Reflection
While I am aware that employing the TaskQueue could potentially resolve my issue, I still remain curious if there exists an alternative approach or solution before resorting to such measures. My concern stems from the fear that manipulating time sequences may inadvertently lead me down a path of unforeseen challenges, resulting in a maintenance nightmare.
