Install

Npm

npm i van-jsx

Deno

import {...} from "https://deno.land/x/van_jsx/mod.ts";

Usage

/* @jsx h */
/* @jsxFrag h.Fragment */

import { h, render, use } from "van-jsx";

const Counter = () => {
  const state = { count: 0 };
  const Button = use.button();
  const Count = use.span();

  use.mount(() => {
    // ready to use vanilla.
    Button.onclick = () => {
      Count.innerText = (state.count += 1).toString();
    };
  });

  return (
    <Button>
      Click Me <Count>{state.count}</Count>
    </Button>
  );
};

render(<Counter />, document.getElementById("root"));

// No problem
// render(
//   <>
//     <Counter />
//     <Counter />
//     <Counter />
//   </>,
//   document.getElementById("root"),
// );

SSR

/* @jsx h */
/* @jsxFrag h.Fragment */

import { h, initSSR, rewind } from "van-jsx";
import App from "./app.tsx";

// example using express
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  initSSR();
  const html = (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>My App</title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <App />
        <script src="/client.js"></script>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
  res.send(html);
});

// on the client interactive
rewind(<App />);

Router

import { createRouter, Link } from "van-jsx/router";

const App: FC<{ path?: string }> = ({ path }) => {
  const Route = createRouter({ name: "app", ssr_path: path });

      <nav>
        <Link href="/">Home</Link>
        <Link href="/about">About</Link>
