# bloatless-react
Bloatless-React is a very minimal and flexible alternative to React.
# Features
- Supports reactivity through States
- Supports JSX for components
- Written in TypeScript
- Really minimal (under 300 lines)
- No bloated server or compiler required - just bundle the JavaScript into a static .html file
# Setup
You can use any bundler you want, but esbuild is the fastest and smallest out there:
```shell
npm install esbuild bloatless-react
mkdir src dist
touch src/index.tsx dist/index.html
```
The following build script will be enough:
```JSON
{
"scripts": {
"build": "esbuild src/index.tsx --bundle --outdir=dist"
}
}
```
# States
In Bloatless-React, States are the foundation of how reactivity is implemented. Similar to many frameworks, a State can hold a value and triggers the UI to update when it changes. However, **subscriptions have to be made manually** due to the minimal nature of this project.
```TypeScript
// Import
import * as React from 'bloatless-react';
// Create States
const name = new React.State("John Doe"); // will be State<string>
const age = new React.State(69); //will be State<number>
// Get value
console.log(name.value);
// John Doe
// Subscribe
age.subscribe(newAge => console.log(`Age changed to ${newAge}`));
// Age changed to 69
React.bulkSubscribe([name, age], () => console.log(`${name.value} is ${age.value} years old`))
// Set value
age.value = 70;
// Age changed to 70
// John Doe is 70 years old
name.value = "Josh"
// Josh is 70 years old
```
## Proxy States
A Proxy State is a State based on multiple other States. This reduces code and can increase performance.
```TypeScript
// Import
import * as React from 'bloatless-react';
// Create States
const name = new React.State("John Doe");
const age = new React.State(69);
// Proxy State
const summary = React.createProxyState([name, age], () => `${name.value} is ${age.value} years old.`)
summary.subscribe(console.log);
//John Doe is 69 years old.
```
## ListStates
A `ListState<T>` is a State whose value is a `Set<T>`. A ListState allows specific subscriptions to detect when items get added and removed.
```TypeScript
import * as React from "bloatless-react";
const listState = new React.ListState([1, 2]);
console.log(listState.value);
// Set [ 1, 2 ]
listState.handleAddition((newItem: number) => {
console.log("+", newItem);
listState.handleRemoval(newItem, () => {
console.log("-", newItem);
});
});
// + 1
// + 2
listState.add(3);
// + 3
listState.remove(1);
// - 1
listState.clear();
// - 2
// - 3
```
## MapStates
A `MapState<T>` is a State whose value is a `Map<string, T>`. A ListState allows specific subscriptions to detect when items get added and removed.
```TypeScript
import * as React from "bloatless-react";
const mapState = new React.MapState<number>([
["a", 1],
["b", 2],
])
console.log(mapState.value);
// Map { a → 1, b → 2 }
mapState.handleAddition((newItem: number) => {
console.log("+", newItem)
mapState.handleRemoval(newItem, () => {
console.log("-", newItem)
})
});
// + 1
// + 2
mapState.set("c", 3);
// + 3
mapState.remove("a");
// - 1
mapState.clear();
// - 2
// - 3
```
## Persistence
States can persist through reloads via LocalStorage. To implement this, modify your code like this:
```diff
normal State
-const myState = new React.State("hello");
+const myState = React.restoreState("my-state", "hello");
MapState
-const myMapState = new React.MapState<T>();
+const myMapState = React.restoreMapState<T>("my-map-state");
OR
-const myMapState = new React.MapState<number>([["a", 1], ["b", 2]]);
+const myMapState = React.restoreMapState<number>("my-map-state", [["a", 1], ["b", 2]]);
ListState
-const myListState = new React.ListState<T>();
+const myListState = React.restoreListState<T>("my-list-state");
OR
-const myListState = new React.ListState<number>([1, 2]);
+const myListState = React.restoreListState<number>("my-list-state", [1, 2]);
```
# UI
For a minimalist stylesheet, I'd recommend checking out my project called [carbon-mini](https://github.com/marlon-erler/carbon-mini/).
Bloatless React provides a modified polyfill for the React API. This means that **you can use JSX** almost like you would in a React project. Additional functionailiy is implemented through directives, similar to Svelte:
## Handling Events
The `on:<event>` directive adds an EventListener. This directive also supports the `on:enter` event.
```TypeScript
<input on:enter={someFunction}></input>
<button on:click={someFunction}>Click me</button>
<div metakey:s={someFunction}>...</div> // triggers when pressing Command/Ctrl+s
```
## Changing Properties
The `subscribe:<property>` directive subscribes to a State and changes a property of the element. Use this for properties available via the DOM model (ie. innerText, innerHTML).
```TypeScript
const name = new React.State("John Doe");
<span subscribe:innerText={name}></span>
```
## Setting Attributes
The `set:<attribute>` directive subscribes to a State and changes an attribute of the element.
```TypeScript
<span set:someAttribute={attributeValue}></span>
```
## Toggling Attributes
The `toggle:<attribute>` directive toggles attributes on the HTML element without assigning a value. This is useful for the `disabled` attribute. You can use states or normal variables.
```TypeScript
const isDisabled = new React.State(false);
<button toggle:disabled={isDisabled}>Some button</button>
<button toggle:disabled={false}>Some button</button>
```
## Binding Input Values
The `bind:<property>` directive acts like a combination of `subscribe:<property>` and `on:input`. It binds the element's property to the state bi-directinally.
```TypeScript
const name = new React.State("John Doe");
// Both inputs will be in sync
<input bind:value={name}></input>
<input bind:value={name}></input>
```
## Dynamically Creating and Removing Child Elements
The **children:set** subscribes to a `State<HTMLElement>` or `State<HTMLElement[]>` and replaces the element's contents with the State's value.
```TypeScript
let count = 0;
const childElement = new React.State(<div>0</div>);
function change() {
count++;
childElement.value = <div>{count}</div>;
}
document.body.append(
<div>
<button on:click={change}>+</button>
<div children:set={childElement}></div>
</div>
);
```
The **children:append** and **children:prepend** directives subscribe to a `ListState` or `MapState` and sync the element's contents accordingly.
The StateItemConverter turns an item of the State into an HTMLElement.
```TypeScript
import * as React from "bloatless-react";
// Model
class MyDataModel {
items = new React.ListState<string>();
newItemName = new React.State("");
addItem = () => {
console.log(this);
this.items.add(this.newItemName.value);
};
removeItem = (item: string) => {
this.items.remove(item);
};
}
const model = new MyDataModel();
// Item -> Element
const convertItem: React.StateItemConverter<string> = (item: string) => {
function remove() {
model.removeItem(item);
}
return (
<span>
{item}
<button on:click={remove}>Remove</button>
</span>
);
};
// Build UI
document.body.append(
<div>
<input bind:value={model.newItemName}></input>
<button on:click={model.addItem}>Add</button>
<div
class="flex-column"
children:append={[model.items, convertItem]}
></div>
</div>
);
```
