Known Limitations

This document outlines the current limitations and potential issues in eleva.js v1.2.14-beta. I’m actively working on addressing these limitations and welcome community feedback to help prioritize improvements.

Core Framework Limitations

These limitations are considered core framework concerns that I plan to address directly in the framework:

1. Component System

Complex Component Hierarchies

• Circular component dependencies are not properly handled
• Component inheritance patterns are not supported

Rationale: These are fundamental architectural concerns that affect the core component system’s reliability.

2. Performance

DOM Operations

• Complex CSS selectors in scoped styles may affect rendering performance

Rationale: This is a core performance issue that directly impacts the framework’s rendering engine.

Browser Support

• Mobile browser optimizations needed
• Touch event handling needs improvement

Rationale: These are core browser support issues that affect the framework’s usability.

1. Check if it’s already reported in GitHub Issues
2. If not, create a new issue with:
   • Clear description of the limitation
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Expected vs actual behavior
   • Browser/device information
   • Code example if applicable
   • Indication of whether it’s a core or plugin concern
