I've been playing with stencil and other WC frameworks looking for one that fits my needs. Stencil is pretty awesome but one of my struggles has been with specifying where to load resources from so that lazy loading works correctly (we load js assets from a CDN). I found data-resources-url in your loader code which is perfect, but see that it isn't documented anywhere.

I'm a bit hesitant to make use of it as I'd consider it "private" unless its documented.

Hopefully you should not need to use data-resources-url. This is definitely an internal use mechanism. How are you loading assets other than components? Do you have some example code so that I could get a better understanding?

[rbrcurtis]

We host all our js and css assets on a CDN so our script tags are all pointing to that. We also pull some common libs, such as bootstrap, from public CDNs. So we've got script tags which src several different hostnames.

What is the preferred method to tell any given stencil WC lib where to do its loading from?

Ok, so in most cases the resource location can be figured out by stencil but apparently there are some cases where 'data-resources-url' is needed. So with a little more research it turns out that this is not only an internal use mechanism and is just lacking documentation.

So if it works use it. I will change this issue to a docs issue so we need to document when to make use of this mechanism

Sounds great. Thank you.
