fresh

The next-gen web framework.

Fresh is a web framework that lets you build projects very fast, highly dynamic, and without the need of a build step. Fresh embraces isomorphic JavaScript like never before. Write a JSX component, have it render on the edge just-in-time, and then enhance it with client side JS for great interactivity.

Fresh does not have a build step - you write your code, deploy it to Deno Deploy, and from there everything is handled by the framework.

  • No build step
  • Zero config necessary
  • JIT rendering on the edge
  • Tiny (example is 0-3KB of runtime JS)1
  • Optional client side hydration
  • TypeScript out of the box
  • File-system routing à la Next.js

Install

To install, run the following command. This will add fresh CLI to your PATH. Make sure to have Deno 1.12.0 or later installed.

deno install -A -f --no-check -n fresh -r https://deno.land/x/xuybin_fresh/cli.ts

Getting started

The fresh CLI can scaffold a new project for you. To scaffold a project in the myproject folder, run the following:

fresh init my-project

To now start the project, call deno run:

deno run -A --watch main.ts

To deploy the script to Deno Deploy, push your project to GitHub, create a fresh project, and link it to main.ts file in the created repository.
