@roysurles thanks for contacting us.

It's not possible as the components don't generate HTML, they generate a sequence of instructions that get transmitted to the browser where JavaScript turns that into HTML.

On webassembly you could render the component on to the page and then use JS interop to capture/retrieve the serialized DOM text as a string.

If you were on a server you could "prerender" the component to obtain the HTML.

We do have an issue to support rendering components in isolation, if you are interested on such functionality I would suggest you upvote the issue here
