The Anti-Build Manifesto
SimpliJS is more than a framework; it's a movement to reclaim the web from the complexity of build pipelines and ecosystem fragmentation.
Anti-Build Movement
Development belongs in the browser, not in a terminal full of build errors. No Vite, no Webpack, no Babel—just code.
HTML-First Logic
Reactivity belongs in the markup. JavaScript should be a powerful enhancement, not a requirement for fundamental structure.
Zero-Config Excellence
Stop wasting your talent on configuration. Every minute spent on setup is a minute lost on your innovative product.
📦 Installation & Setup
CDN (Fastest)
Perfect for quick demos and lean projects.
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/.../simplijs.min.js"></script>
NPM (Production)
Full type support and tree-shaking.
npm install simplijs
import { createApp, component, reactive } from 'https://esm.sh/simplijs@3.2.0';
component('hello-world', (el, props) => {
return () => `<h1>Hello ${props.name || 'World'}!</h1>`;
});
Try editing the name in the input to see real-time proxy updates.
8 Robust Native Features
SimpliJS follows a "Lean-Core" philosophy. It provides the essential 8 features directly in the core, maintaining a tiny footprint.
1. Declarative Component Registration
Register custom elements with a simple setup function. No Webpack, no compilation.
import { component } from 'simplijs';
component('hello-world', (el, props) => {
return {
render: () => `
<div class="greeting">
<h1>Hello, ${props.name}!</h1>
<p>Running on SimpliJS v3.2.0</p>
</div>
`
};
});
// HTML: <hello-world s-prop:name="World"></hello-world>
2. Deeply Reactive State (reactive)
Proxy-based reactivity that works with nested objects and arrays. Changes trigger automatic re-renders.
import { component, reactive } from 'simplijs';
component('user-profile', (el, props) => {
const state = reactive({
user: {
name: props.initialName || 'Guest',
preferences: { theme: 'dark' }
},
posts: ['Hello World']
});
return {
toggleTheme: () => {
state.user.preferences.theme =
state.user.preferences.theme === 'dark' ? 'light' : 'dark';
},
render: () => `
<div class="profile" s-class="state.user.preferences.theme">
<h3>${state.user.name}</h3>
<button s-click="toggleTheme">Toggle Theme</button>
<ul s-for="post in state.posts">
<li>${post}</li>
</ul>
</div>
`
};
});
Interact with the buttons to see deep reactivity in action.
3. Component Attributes (Props)
Access element attributes directly within your setup function. (Full reactive props coming in v1.0).
import { component } from 'simplijs';
// Usage:
component('user-badge', (el, props) => {
return {
render: () => `
<div class="badge">
<strong>${props.name}</strong>
<span class="role">(${props.role})</span>
</div>
`
};
});
4. State Time Vault (reactive.vault)
Bind events using standard HTML attributes. Clean and predictable.
import { component } from 'simplijs';
component('interactive-demo', (el) => {
return {
handleClick: () => alert('Button clicked!'),
handleMouseOver: () => console.log('Mouse over!'),
render: () => `
<div>
<button onclick="this.closest('interactive-demo').handleClick()">
Click Me
</button>
<button onmouseover="this.closest('interactive-demo').handleMouseOver()">
Hover Me
</button>
</div>
`
};
});
5. Computed Properties (computed)
Lazily evaluated, cached derived state that only recalculates when dependencies change.
import { component, reactive, computed } from 'simplijs';
component('shopping-cart', () => {
const state = reactive({
items: [
{ name: 'Laptop', price: 999, quantity: 1 }
],
taxRate: 0.1
});
const subtotal = computed(() => {
return state.items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + (item.price * item.quantity), 0);
});
const tax = computed(() => subtotal.value * state.taxRate);
const total = computed(() => subtotal.value + tax.value);
return {
render: () => `
<div>
<h3>Shopping Cart</h3>
<p>Subtotal: $${subtotal.value}</p>
<p>Tax: $${tax.value}</p>
<p>Total: $${total.value}</p>
</div>
`
};
});
6. Side Effects and Watchers (watch)
Watch reactive state changes and execute side effects with old and new values.
import { component, reactive, watch } from 'simplijs';
component('search-field', () => {
const state = reactive({
query: '',
results: [],
loading: false
});
// Watch for search query changes
watch(() => state.query, async (newQuery, oldQuery) => {
console.log(`Search changed from "${oldQuery}" to "${newQuery}"`);
if (newQuery.length < 3) {
state.results = [];
return;
}
state.loading = true;
// Simulate API call
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 500));
state.results = [
`Result 1 for "${newQuery}"`,
`Result 2 for "${newQuery}"`,
`Result 3 for "${newQuery}"`
];
state.loading = false;
});
return {
updateQuery: (e) => state.query = e.target.value,
render: () => `
<div>
<input type="text"
placeholder="Search (min 3 chars)..."
value="${state.query}"
oninput="this.closest('search-field').updateQuery(event)" />
${state.loading ? '<p>Loading...</p>' : ''}
<ul>
${state.results.map(r => `<li>${r}</li>`).join('')}
</ul>
</div>
`
};
});
12. The Bridge (Roadmap)
Universal imports for React, Vue, and Svelte components. (Coming in v1.0).
13. The Time Vault (Advanced)
Time-travel debugging and state persistence. (Coming soon in v1.0).
7. DOM Refs (ref)
Access DOM elements manually after render. (Simplified engine in v0.1.0).
import { component, ref } from 'simplijs';
component('auto-focus', (el) => {
return {
onMount: () => {
const input = el.querySelector('input');
input?.focus();
},
render: () => `
<div>
<input placeholder="I'm auto-focused" />
</div>
`
};
});
8. Full Component Lifecycle Hooks (onMount, onDestroy)
Intersect the component timeline at critical moments: mount, update, destroy, and error.
import { component, reactive } from 'simplijs';
component('lifecycle-demo', () => {
const state = reactive({ count: 0, mountTime: null });
return {
onMount: () => {
console.log('✅ Component attached to DOM');
state.mountTime = new Date().toISOString();
// Set up interval
this.interval = setInterval(() => {
console.log('Interval tick');
}, 1000);
},
onUpdate: () => {
console.log('🔄 Component re-rendered, count:', state.count);
},
onDestroy: () => {
console.log('🗑️ Component removed, cleaning up...');
clearInterval(this.interval);
},
onError: (err) => {
console.error('⚠️ Component error:', err.message);
// Log to error tracking service
},
increment: () => state.count++,
render: () => `
<div>
<p>Mounted at: ${state.mountTime || 'Not mounted yet'}</p>
<p>Count: ${state.count}</p>
<button onclick="this.closest('lifecycle-demo').increment()">
Increment (triggers onUpdate)
</button>
</div>
`
};
});
9. Content Projection (Slots)
Native Web Component slots for flexible content composition. Built directly into the core engine.
10. Global Event Bus (emit / on)
Decouple components with a lightning-fast native EventTarget bus. Perfect for cross-component communication.
import { component, emit, on } from 'simplijs';
// Component A: Sender
component('product-list', () => {
return {
selectProduct: (product) => {
emit('product:selected', product);
emit('analytics:event', {
action: 'product_select',
productId: product.id
});
},
render: () => `
<div>
<button onclick="this.closest('product-list-demo').selectProduct({id: 2, name: 'Mouse'})">
Select Mouse
</button>
</div>
`
};
});
// Component B: Receiver
component('product-details-demo', () => { // Renamed to avoid conflict with product-details
const state = reactive({ selectedProduct: null });
on('product:selected', (product) => {
state.selectedProduct = product;
});
return {
render: () => `
<div class="p-6 bg-white/5 rounded-2xl border border-white/10 h-full">
${state.selectedProduct
? `<h3 class="text-xl font-bold text-white mb-2">Selected: ${state.selectedProduct.name}</h3>`
: '<p class="text-slate-500">No product selected</p>'
}
</div>
`
};
});
Input Sync: s-bind &
s-model
Bi-directional data binding for form inputs and custom components.
<div s-app s-state="{ text: 'Hello' }">
<input s-bind="text" type="text" />
<p>You typed: {text}</p>
</div>
HTML-First Engine
Powerful directives like s-app, s-if, and s-for for
template-driven development.
Logic & Flow Control
s-if / s-else
Conditional rendering that removes elements from the DOM.
<div s-if="isAdmin">Admin Dashboard</div>
<div s-else>User Profile</div>
s-for
Elite list rendering with 0 compilation.
<ul>
<li s-for="item in items" s-key="item.id">
{item.label}
</li>
</ul>
Visibility: s-show & s-hide
Toggle visibility using display: none
without removing from DOM.
<div s-show="isVisible">Now you see me</div>
<div s-hide="!isVisible">Now you don't</div>
Advanced Event Handling
Browser Events: s-click,
s-hover
Direct event listeners with scope awareness.
<button s-click="submit()" s-hover="tip = true">
Submit Form
</button>
Keyboard Modifiers: s-key:*
Easy key filtering for common actions.
<input s-key:enter="save()" s-key:esc="cancel()" />
SimpliJS is the first framework with professional Time Travel Debugging built into the core.
import { reactive } from 'simplijs';
const state = reactive.vault({ count: 0 });
state.count++;
state.count++;
state.vault.back(); // count is 1
state.vault.forward(); // count is 2
console.log(state.vault.share()); // Get unique debug URL
5. HTML-First Directive Engine (s-*)
Write complex logic directly in your HTML. SimpliJS's engine scans and reactive-binds directives for elite performance.
<div s-app="todoApp">
<input s-model="newTask" s-key:enter="addTodo" />
<button s-click="addTodo">Add</button>
<ul s-for="todo in todos">
<li s-if="!todo.done">${todo.text}</li>
</ul>
</div>
6. Lifecycle Hooks & Global Refs
Hook into component creation, mounting, and destruction with ease. Use
s-ref for direct DOM access.
component('auto-focus', (el) => {
return {
onMount: () => {
console.log('Mounted!');
el.querySelector('input').focus();
},
render: () => `<input type="text" placeholder="I focus automatically" />`
};
});
Async, Fetch & Components
Zero-JS Fetch: s-fetch &
s-loading
Fetch data from any API and handle loading states declaratively.
<div s-fetch="'/api/users'" s-state="{ users: [] }">
<div s-loading>Fetching users...</div>
<div s-for="u in users">{u.name}</div>
</div>
Dynamic Components: s-component &
s-prop
Mount components dynamically based on state.
<div s-component="currentTab" s-prop:data="activeData"></div>
Enterprise Optimizations
s-lazy
Intersection observer built-in for zero-config lazy loading.
s-memo
Static caching for expensive subtrees to maximize FPS.
