hscrpt v0.0.1

hscrpt

hscrpt is a sugar-free version of hyperscript

It's not a framework, it's just a tool for convienently creating html elements directly in javascript.

//reactive hello world
var h = require('hscrpt')
var name
document.body.appendChild(h('div',
  h('h1', 'Hello, ', name = h('span', 'World')),
  h('input', {oninput: function (ev) {
    name.textContent = ev.target.value
  })
))

frameworks come and go. but the DOM doesn't change, because that would break all the frameworks.

You could do this with hyperscript, this just removes all the sugar from hyperscript and gives you something absolutely minimal.

infact:

module.exports = function h (tag, attrs, content) {
  if(Array.isArray(attrs)) content = attrs, attrs = {}
  var el = document.createElement(tag)
  for(var k in attrs) el[k] = attrs[k]
  if(content) content.forEach(function (e) {
    if(e) el.appendChild('string' == typeof e ? document.createTextNode(e) : e)
  })
  return el
}

^ you just read the entire codebase of hscrpt.

api: h(tagname, attrs?, children?)

only tagname is mandatory. it must be a string. if given, attrs must be an {} and children must be an [].

setting classes

use h('div', {classList: 'content'}) (same as h('div.content') in 'hyperscript'.)

setting event listeners

use h('button', {onclick: function (ev) {...}}, ['submit'])
