LemonadeJS: Reactive library

LemonadeJS is a reactive javascript micro-library (about 6 KBytes). It enhances the integration between the JavaScript (controllers) and the HTML (view). It supports two-way binding and helps you to deliver great reusable components.

LemonadeJS does not have any dependency. It does not require a transpiler, babel, or hundreds of other dependencies and work just fine with NodeJS, in the browser or any javascript dev environment. It has a small learning curve and keeps coding fun and very close to vanilla JS.

Make rich and user-friendly web interfaces and applications
Handle complicated data inputs with ease and convenience
Improve the software user experience
Create rich CRUDS and beautiful UI
Highly flexible and customizable
Extremely lightweight and simple to use

Modern applications

Build modern applications using LemonadeJS.

import lemonade from "lemonadejs";
import Hello from "./Hello";

export default function App() {
  let self = {};
  self.count = 1;
  let template = `<>
        <Hello />
        <p>You clicked {{self.count}} times</p>
        <button onclick="self.count++;">Click me</button>
    </>`;

  return lemonade.element(template, self, { Hello });
}

Simplicity

Run LemonadeJS in your browser without dependencies, servers, transpiling.

<html>
<script src="https://lemonadejs.net/v2/lemonade.js"></script>
<div id="root"></div>
<script>
var Hello = (function() {
    // Receive the properties from the parent
    var self = this;

    let template = `<div>You clicked {{self.number}} times</div>`;

    return lemonade.element(template, self);
});

var App = (function() {
    var self = {};

    // Number is a reference to count in this scope
    let template = `<div>
        <Hello number="{{self.count}}" />
        <button onclick="self.count++">test1</button>
        <button onclick="self.count--">test2</button>
    </div>`;

    return lemonade.element(template, self, { Hello });
});

lemonade.render(App, document.getElementById('root'));
</script>
</html>

New concepts

The Pico Library

The Pico Library brings javascript common components. Each component in the library does not require any dependency and has a limit of 2 kBytes each.

Sugar (Super Global Artifacts)

The LemonadeJS Sugar is a common global container that makes easier communication between different components.

About LemonadeJS

The LemonadeJS is an original micro reactive JavaScript software created to facilitate the integration between the HTML, data, and JavaScript methods in web-based development. It is an efficient and flexible way for building user interfaces. It brings the development as close to the JavaScript vanilla as possible. It has some smart concepts and a powerful optimization that offers a straightforward learning curve. The developer would have the flexibility to extend the development to the browser environment but continue building modern, complex UIs and reusable components.

On the most release, it brings new concepts such as SUGAR (Super Global Artifacts) which is a common container to simplify the communication between components. And PICO is the official component library without dependencies up to 2 KBytes.
