Micro-reactive library

This library is about 4 KBytes compressed.

LemonadeJS is a free reactive javascript micro-library. It supports two-way data binding and helps you to deliver modern reusable components.

No dependencies or transpile is require.



Modern interfaces

Build modern application using webpack or run directly in the browser.



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

// Register the dependencies to be used across the render
lemonade.setComponents({ Hello });

// Create the component
export default function App() {
    const self = this;
    self.count = 1;
    return `<>
        <Hello number="{{self.count}}" />
        <button onclick="self.count++;">Click me</button>
    </>`;
}


Simplicity

Code directly in your browser without dependencies or transpiling.


Flexibility

  • Integrate LemonadeJS on top of any existing application.
  • Adopt LemonadeJS to specific sections of an existing applications.
  • Create two-way data binding sections to specific block of the DOM.

Properties

  • Two-way data binding
  • Lightweight (4KB compressed)
  • Reactive interfaces
  • Great user experience
  • Webpack or directly in the browser
  • No dependencies

<html>
<script src="https://lemonadejs.net/v3/lemonade.js"></script>
<div id="root"></div>
<script>
function Hello() {
    const self = this;
    return `<div>You clicked {{self.number}} times</div>`;
}

function App() {
    const self = this;
    self.count = 0;
    // Number is a reference to count in this scope
    return `<>
        <Hello number="{{self.count}}" />
        <button onclick="self.count++;">Click me</button>
    </>`;
}

// Register the dependencies to be used across the application
lemonade.setComponents({ Hello });
// Render the component
lemonade.render(App, document.getElementById('root'));
</script>
</html>

Utilities


Unit Tests

The LemonadeJS tester helps to create component unit testing.

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.
