WebDirective is a lightweight JavaScript library that brings a Vue.js-inspired directive pattern to native HTML, enabling developers to add reusable, framework-independent behaviors to elements via custom attributes.

Why it matters: It allows adding dynamic behaviors to HTML elements that work seamlessly across different frameworks and plain HTML without event binding issues.

The big picture: WebDirective fills a gap by providing a simple, non-invasive directive system that supports lifecycle hooks and works well with dynamic DOM changes.

Quick takeaway: It supports argument/modifiers, event listeners, singleton instances, and clean mounting/unmounting, making it ideal for reusable cross-project widgets.

Commenters say: Some appreciate its simplicity and portability outside frameworks, while others note frameworks already provide similar features or prefer alternative behavior systems.
