A lightweight library to build reactive web apps — fast.

One is in alpha and is under heavy development. You *can* use this for building web apps today, but the library is still considered very immature. All discussions, questions, ideas and PR's are welcome!
One is in alpha and is under heavy development. All discussions, questions, ideas and PR's are welcome!

## Usage

```js
import {o, mount} from 'one'

const MyComponent = {
data() {
return {
name: 'John Doe',
}
),
view({ data }) {
return o('div', [
o('p', `Hello ${data.name}`),
])
},
}

mount(MyComponent, document.body)
```
## Gotchas
Since One is as lightweight as it is, there are a couple of gotchas that you should
be aware of. Feel free to submit a PR, if you can't live with the workarounds 😉
However, these are gotchas, and can easily be avoided.
### Conditional rendering
When using conditional rendering in a components `view` function, you should
structure your view in such a way, that you don't break the natural render tree.
The recommended way to have conditional rendering is to use 2 components and the `redraw` attribute set to `true`.
If you don't use the `redraw` attribute, the component will return a cached version from last render.
Keep in mind that using `redraw` will redraw the component *every time* the parent component re-renders.
See the first example below.
```js
// ok
const Component = {
name: 'component',
// Recommended!
view({ data }) {
return o('div', [
data.bool ?
// Can have props, but if not, set second argument to `null`
o(Component1, null, {redraw: true}) :
o(Component2, null, {redraw: true})
])
}
}

const Component = {
name: 'component',
view({ data }) {
return o('div', [
o('ul',
data.items.length
? data.items.map(item => o('li', `${item.name}`))
: o('li', 'Loading')
)
])
}
}

const Component = {
name: 'component',
view({ data }) {
return o('div',
data.items.length
? o('nav', data.items.map(item => o('a', `${item.name}`)))
: o('nav', o('div', 'Loading...'))
)
}
}

const Component = {
name: 'component',
view ({ data }) {
return o(
'ul',
data.items.map(item => o('li', `${item.name}`))
)
}
}

const Component = {
name: 'component',
view ({ props }) {
return o('div', [
!props.items.length
// `p` will be replaced with `ul` since the tagNames differ
? o('p', 'Loading')
: o('ul', props.items.map(item => o('li', `${item.name}`)))
])
}
}

// not ok
const Component = {
name: 'component',
view({ data }) {
return data.items.length
? o('ul', data.items.map(item => o('li', `${item.name}`)))
: o('div', o('p', 'Loading...'))
}
}

const Component = {
name: 'component',
view({ data }) {
return o('div',
data.items.length
? o('ul', data.items.map(item => o('li', `${item.name}`)))
: o('div', o('p', 'Loading...'))
)
}
}

const Component = {
name: 'component',
view({ data }) {
if (!data.items.length) {
return o('div', 'Loading')
}

return o('div', 'p', 'Items loaded...')
}
}
import { one, html } from 'one'

one({
name: 'counter',
template: html`
<div>
<button id="dec">-</button>
<span o-text="count"></span>
<button id="inc">+</button>
</div>
`,
state: { count: 0 },
setup({ query, state }) {
query('#dec').on('click', () => state.count--)
query('#inc').on('click', () => state.count++)
}
})
```
### Dangling TextNodes
One is built around diffing HTML elements and not text nodes. This means that you shouldn't have "dangling" text nodes.
A dangling text node is a text node with HTML element siblings. See below for examples.
It *is* possible, but since One doesn't care about text nodes, they will often be removed from the DOM during rendering.
```js
// ok
o('div',
o('h1', 'This is a heading'),
o('p', 'This is a paragraph'),
)

// not ok
o('div',
o('h1', 'This is a heading'),
'This is a "dangling" text node',
)
```
