# FicusJS
FicusJS is a set of lightweight functions for developing modern web applications using web components.
## Features
FicusJS provides the following features for building modern web applications.
- Fast lightweight web components
- Extending web components
- with renderers
- [htm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/htm) (JSX-like syntax - no transpiler necessary)
- [htm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/htm) with [Preact](https://www.npmjs.com/package/preact) (JSX-like syntax - no transpiler necessary)
- [lit-html](https://www.npmjs.com/package/lit-html)
- [uhtml](https://www.npmjs.com/package/uhtml)
- css
- with local state
- with styles
- with lazy rendering
- with breakpoint rendering
- with a finite state machine
- with an [XState](https://xstate.js.org/) service
- with an application state store
- with an event bus
- with internationalization (i18n)
- Fast lightweight publish/subscribe event bus
- Fast lightweight stores for managing application state
## Documentation
See the [full documentation](https://docs.ficusjs.org).
## Getting started
The easiest way to try out FicusJS is using a hello world example.
Create an `index.html` file and copy the following between the `` tags.
```html
import { html, renderer } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/@ficusjs/renderers@4/htm'
import { createCustomElement } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/ficusjs@3/custom-element'
createCustomElement('hello-world', {
renderer,
handleClick () {
window.alert('Hello to you!')
},
render () {
return html`
<div>
<p>FicusJS hello world</p>
<button type="button" onclick="${this.handleClick}">Click me</button>
</div>
`
}
})
```
Alternatively, fork this Codepen to see it in action - [https://codepen.io/ducksoupdev/pen/GRZPqJO](https://codepen.io/ducksoupdev/pen/GRZPqJO)
The hello world example creates a new [custom element](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components/Using_custom_elements) using the `createCustomElement` function and registers it to the `hello-world` tag. It uses the [htm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/htm) JSX-like renderer ([other renderers are available](https://docs.ficusjs.org/renderers/)) for creating HTML from [tagged template literals](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals).
Once registered, the tag can be used multiple times in HTML and instances can be programmatically obtained using [`document.querySelector`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/querySelector)
or [`element.querySelector`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/querySelector).
## Installation
FicusJS can be installed in a number of ways.
### CDN
We recommend using native ES modules in the browser.
```html
import { createCustomElement } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/ficusjs@3/custom-element'
```
FicusJS is available on [Skypack](https://www.skypack.dev/view/ficusjs).
### NPM
FicusJS works nicely with build tools such as Snowpack, Webpack or Rollup. If you are using a NodeJS tool, you can install the NPM package.
```bash
npm install ficusjs
```
### Available builds
FicusJS only provides ES module builds. For legacy browsers or alternative modules such as CommonJS, it is recommended to use a build tool to transpile the code.
## Development
How to set-up FicusJS for local development.
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ficusjs/ficusjs.git
```
2. Change the working directory
```bash
cd ficusjs
```
3. Install dependencies
```bash
npm install # or, yarn install
```
4. Run the local development server
```bash
npm run dev # or, yarn dev
```
That's it! Now open http://localhost:8080 to see a local app.
