vdom-render-to v0.10.0

vdom-render-to

Convenience functions for creating and updating virtual-dom trees.

Motivation

Streamlining the steps to create a DOM tree from a virtual-dom representation and updating it.

Installation

npm install --save vdom-render-to

Use

1. var h = require('virtual-dom/h');
var vdomRenderTo = require('vdom-render-to');

2. Select the DOM element that will be updated when rendering.
   The element itself will be updated, not just its children.
   var update = vdomRenderTo(element);
var vtree;

3. Do any processing necessary to generate the first virtual-dom tree (vtree).
   vtree = h('h1', 'hello world');

4. Update the element with the vtree:
   update = update(vtree);
   Note that update, the function returned by vdomRenderTo is different than the one returned by subsequent calls to update. Instead of using different names, like create and update is more convenient to just update the same function reference after every call.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 whenever you need to re-render. e.g.: on user interaction.
