Use WebCell as an Example

import { Session } from 'mobx-usa-congress';
import { component, observer } from 'web-cell';

import { congressStore } from '../model/Congress';

@component({ tagName: 'congress-page' })
@observer
export class CongressPage extends HTMLElement {
    connectedCallback() {
        congressStore.getThisYearOne();
    }

    renderSession = ({
        type,
        number,
        chamber,
        startDate,
        endDate
    }: Session) => (
        <li key={chamber}>
            <code>{type}</code> #{number} {chamber} (
            <time dateTime={startDate}>
                {new Date(startDate).toLocaleString()}
            </time>{' '}
            ~{' '}
            <time dateTime={endDate}>{new Date(endDate).toLocaleString()}</time>
            )
        </li>
    );

    render() {
        const { thisYearOne } = congressStore;

        return (
            <main>
                <h1>USA Congress</h1>
