hdash v0.1.0

Hdash

A new front-end tool, to bring interactivity to web elements.

Explanation

Hdash is not a framework or even a big library. and, it's not so concerned with rendering. Hdash's main duty is to keep the interface synchronized with the state.

there is no any special elements; everything is marked and controlled using special attributes called directives that start with h-. There are some default ones, and, of course, you can make and register yours.

Using Hdash, there's no need to focus on front-end stuff (specially if you are a back-end dev). But Hdash would not be so useful in modern front-end projects (like a SPA).

Get started

First, get Hdash's source code. intall it via npm (or yarn), or use a <script> tag:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/hdash/dist/hdash.browser.js"></script>

now you should have a global variable called Hdash.

Hello world

then, in your app.js (or any other name):

var app = new Hdash('#app', {
	state: {
		text: 'Hello world!'
	}
})

and, your HTML document:

<div id="app">
	<h1 h-text='text'></h1>
</div>

That's it, a "hello world" 🎉

This was just a simple demo, we used default text directive to tell Hdash: "hey, put the property 'text' of state into this h1 tag"

There is no complete documentation for Hdash. after alpha (or beta) release, I'll start working on the official site.
