LinkStaark
Staark is a minimalist front-end framework designed for building web applications with simplicity and efficiency at its core. With a focus on minimalism, Staark introduces only a few essential concepts, making it incredibly easy for developers to understand and use. Weighing in at just one and a half kilobytes when compressed, this lightweight framework ensures fast loading times and a streamlined development experience.
One of Staark's standout features is its efficient diffing algorithm, which optimizes the process of updating the DOM. This ensures that changes from the old state to the new state are applied quickly and with minimal overhead. By utilizing a proxy to manage the application state, Staark updates the view only when the state changes, providing a reactive and efficient user experience.
To get started with Staark, developers only need to master two main functions: mount
and node
. The mount
function attaches the application to the document, requiring a target node, a view function, and an optional initial state. The view function takes the state and returns an abstract representation of the document using the node
function. The node
function creates an abstract representation of a single DOM node, which the framework then translates into the actual DOM elements for the browser to render.
import { mount, node as n } from '@doars/staark'
mount(
document.body.firstSibling,
(state) => n('div', [
n('span', state.count),
n('button', {
click: () => state.count++,
}, 'add')
]),
{ count: 0 },
)
