Charata

Charata allows using incremental DOM in a easier way.

Install

npm i --save charata

Usage

Charata makes use of Google's Incremental DOM providing a simple to use librarie to create and render custom DOM components.

it exports a function to create and append DOM elements following a hirearchaly way.

  el(<tag>, [<text>|<el>|<elArray]>, <key>, <attributes>);

  import {el} from 'charata';

  let myList = el('ul', [
    el('li', 'one'),
    el('li', 'two'),
    el('li', 'three')
  ], null, ['class', 'my-list']);

  myList.renderTo(document.body);

this will render into your DOM (under document.body in this case)

<ul class="my-list">
  <li>one</li>
  <li>two</li>
  <li>three</li>
</ul>

Your DOM is patched using Incremental DOM, that means that you can create complex components and re-rendered them with a little hit on your performance. For a more complex example, take a look at tehsis/incremental-todo

Extra helpers

Besides the main el function, you can import helpers for most common HTML elements The previous example could be rewritten as follows:

import {ul, li} from 'charata';

let myList = ul([
  li('one').
  li('two'),
  li('three')
], null, ['class', 'my-list']);

myList.renderTo(document.body);
