"React-like"
View Libraries
React Changed the Game
React is fast, focused and well designed.
New view library trend: "React-like", but...
- Smaller
- Faster
- Simpler
- All of the above?
Reactive Components for Modern Web Interfaces
A React-like user interface micro-library
- Minimal, "enjoyable syntax" (9kb zipped)
- Reactive views, routing, events
- Custom tags (similar to web components)
Fast 3kb alternative to React with the same ES6 API
- React's "core value proposition" with as little code as possible
- Includes most of React's API
- Extra conveniences (auto-passing of state/props,
class attribute supported, etc.)
An extremely fast, React-like JS library for building modern user interfaces
- Distinguishes static / dynamic content for fast rendering
- Replicates the "best features from React"
- Again, it has a few differences
HyperDev is the developer playground for building real web apps, fast
Joel announced the beta May 31
- Instant hosting, automated deployment, no setup
- Collaborative real-time editing, instant save
- Share and remix projects
A sassy, opinionated CSS Framework. A tiny alternative to Bootstrap.
- Only 8kb of CSS
- Forms, buttons, grid & typography
Minimalistic predicate library
- Unopinionated, zero dependencies
- Works with Node, AMD and all browsers (IE6+)
is.array([]) // true
is.not.integer(0) // false
is.propertyDefined({foo: {bar: 0}} , 'foo.bar') // true
is.deepEqual([1 , [2, 3]], [1, [2, 3]]) // true
