ReNoact

Noact is a minimal self-rendering Virtual DOM library.

• Declarative: Pretty much like React, without the JSX compilation of course, hence the name.
• Type safe: Noact is completely typesafe, which means you get static type checking for free!
• Simple: Only 60 lines of type declarations & rendering code. (and 10ish lines of code-gen code)

Example App

How it feels to write Noact

- Explosions -

Even has support for style auto complete

Usage

Noact is inspired by the syntax of the elm HTML engine

import { button, div } from "./NoactElements"
const component1 = div({},
    button({ onclick: () => alert(":D"), txt: "+" }),
    div({ txt: "♥" }),
    button({ onclick: () => alert("D:"), txt: "-" })
)

component1 is a memoized () => HTMLElement function, component1() will give you back

<div>
  <button>+</button>
  <div>♥</div>
  <button>-</button>
</div>

You can use component1 as it is, or compose it in a Virtual DOM configuration

import { createMountPoint } from "./Noact"
const mount = createMountPoint(document.querySelector(`#root`))
const remount = () => mount(
    component1,
    span({ txt: new Date().toString() })
)
setInterval(remount, 1000)

Here the root element will be populated with both component1 and span. Every 1000ms, #root > span and only #root > span will be updated.

In essence, component1 is both the rendering function, and the virtual DOM.
