LEGO (Lightweight Embedded Gluten-free Objects) is a NodeJS tool to build 🚀 fast, ♻️ reactive, 🏡 native web-components that are easy to digest 🌱 for your browser.
Lego is:
- 👙 Minimalist:
7461 lines of readable code in its core (non-optimised, uncompressed, no cheating). - 🌱 Low dependency: its single third-party is the minimalist Petit-Dom which itself has no dependency
- ♻️ Reactive: updating the state recalculate the Virtual Dom when needed
- 🚀 fast: using virtual dom through a thin layer makes it close to bare-metal
- 💧 Simple: that's Vanilla, there isn't much to know, it's a raw class to extend; no magic ✨
- 🏡 Native: webcomponents are actual native webcomponents, you benefit from all the today's and tomorrow's possibilites (slot, encapsulation, …).
Lego is not (and will never be):
- 🏯 A full bloated frontend framework with routing. Others do it well.
- 🏗 A website builder with SSR or similar complexities.
- 🔐 An HTML replacement that locks you into a specific technology.
