_You might also be interested in [hyperscript][] - a builder for real dom elements._

**[JSX CodePen Example](http://codepen.io/tunnckoCore/pen/xgQKzr?editors=0010)**

## Highlights

- **Tiny:** Very lightweight, ~600 bytes gzip + minify and the UMD wrapper.

- **Defaults:** Sane defaults and tiny css selector parser.

- **Components:** Can be used to create Stateless or Statefull Components.

- **Specificaition:** Creates [HAST](https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast)-compliant AST trees.

- **Customization:** Supports [JSX](), custom tags and attributes.

- **Minimalist:** Really, just a builder of AST trees.

- **Compatibility:** Same as [hyperscript][], but creates virtual DOM.

- **Friendly:** Plays well with [browserify][] users.

- **Bundled:** Available as ES6 Module, CommonJS, UMD.

- **SSR:** Supports server-side rendering through [mich-to-html][].

- **Clean:** Does not mess with DOM or anything.

## Install

Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)

```

$ npm install mich-h --save

```

or install using [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com)

```

$ yarn add mich-h

```

Builds are also available on [unpkg](https://unpkg.com/) CDN, so iniclude

```html

```

then access `mich-h` through the `michH` global property - notice the uppercased **H** letter.

```html

  const h = michH

  const node = h('h1.hero#home.big', 'Hello World')

  console.log(node)

```

**Try [CodePen](http://codepen.io/tunnckoCore/pen/ZLmEyJ) or [JSBin](http://jsbin.com/bahefanasi/2/edit?css,js,output) Example**

## Usage

> For more use-cases see the [tests](test.js)

```js

const h = require('mich-h')

const ast = h('div#page.foo.bar.qux', { className: 'ok fool' },

  h('#header',

    h('h1.classy', 'hello', { style: 'background-color: #333; color: purple' })),

  h('nav#menu', { style: {'background': '#2f2', 'font-size': '12px' } },

    h('ul', [

      // notice `dataset` and `data-zaz`

      // both will be set to `properties.dataset`

      h('li', 'one', { dataset: { foo: 'bar', qux: 'ok' }, 'data-zaz': 'huh' }),

      h('li.sec', 'two', { className: ['huh'] }),

      h('li', { 'data-foo': 'hi' }, 'three')

    ])),

  h('h2#title', 'content title',  { style: {'background-color': 'red'} }),

  // notice `.first` and `className: 'foobie'`

  // both will be set in `properties.className` array 

  h('p.first',

    'so it is just like a templating engine,\n',

    { className: 'foobie' },

    'but easy to use inline with javascript',

    { onclick: () => {} }),

  h('p',

    { className: 'lastParagraph' },

    'the intention is for this to be used to create\n',

    h('strong', 'charlike', {

      className: ['bold'],

      style: 'background: white; color: green'

    }),

    ' reusable, interactive html widgets.'))

console.log(ast)

```

Or with modern JSX syntax, adding [JSX Pragma](https://jasonformat.com/wtf-is-jsx/) somewhere at the top and using some transpiler - Rollup, Webpack or Babel with [babel-plugin-transform-react-jsx][].

```jsx

/** @jsx h */

const h = require('mich-h')

const onclick = (e) => console.log('hooray it is clicked!')

const list = 


  one

  two

  three



const ast = 


  

    hello

  

  

    {list}

  

  content title

  so it is just like a templating engine,

    but easy to use inline with javascript

  

  the intention is for this to be used to create

    charlike 

    reusable, interactive html widgets.

  



console.log(ast)

```

## API

### [michH](src/index.js#L52)

> Virtual DOM builder that is compatible to [hyperscript][], so it takes any number of arguments that can be string, object, or array. But the first one `selector` always should be a simple css-like selector supported by [mich-parse-selector][]. For example `.foo.bar` creates a node with tag name `div` and classes `foo bar`. Or selector like `p.foo#hero.bar` creates a node with id `hero`, classes `foo` and `bar`, and tag name `p`.

**Params**

* `selector` **{String}**: simple selector; supports IDs, classes and tag name only    

* `props` **{Object}**: an attributes for the tag; can be in any position (i.e 4th)    

* `children` **{String|Array}**: a child nodes; can be in any position (i.e. 2nd or 5th)    

* `returns` **{Object}**: a HAST compliant node  

**Example**

```js

const h = require('mich-h')

const node = h('a.foo#brand.bar.btn-large.xyz', {

  className: 'btn'

  href: 'https://i.am.charlike.online'

}, 'Charlike Web')

console.log(node.type) // => 'element'

console.log(node.tagName) // => 'p'

console.log(node.properties.id) // => 'brand'

console.log(node.properties.href)

// => 'https://i.am.charlike.online'

console.log(node.properties.className)

// => [ 'foo', 'bar', 'btn-large', 'xyz', 'btn' ]

console.log(node.children.length) // => 1

console.log(node.children[0])

// => { type: 'text', value: 'Charlike Web' }

```

## Notes

### The `className` and `class`

Notice that we write `className`, but `class` is also supported. Just in old javascript versions

it may throw you an error if you try to write it as object key. You will just always get an array as end result in the generated node - they are just concatenated.

```js

const tag = h('.foo', {

  className: 'bar'

})

console.log(tag.properties.className)

// => [ 'foo', 'bar' ]

// or passing multiple classes in className

const div = h('.bar', {

  className: ['qux', 'xyz']

})

console.log(div.properties.className)

// => [ 'bar', 'qux', 'xyz]

```

### The `data-*` and `dataset`

Another that you should be aware of is that we write `dataset` instead of `data` when want to define a `data-*` attributes for a tag while using `props` object. That name comes from DOM - it saves each data attribute to an object `dataset` in each DOM element. You can still define each data-* attribute as key in props object, like this

```js

const div = h('.foo', {

  'data-abc': 'hello',

  'data-bar': 'world'

})

// another way is using `dataset`

const node = h('.foo', {

  dataset: {

    abc: 'hello',

    bar: 'world'

  }

})

```

While using JSX you still can define it in both styles

```jsx

const node = 
Hi

```

### The styles

Note that you can define style in both ways 1) using a string as value or 2) object as value.

```js

const node = h('p', {

  style: 'background: red; font-size: 15px;'

})

console.log(node.properties.style)

// => 'background: red; font-size: 15px;'

```

Using above approach you'll end up finally with a node that has a `properties.style` a string, because we don't parse the value. So what you pass, you'll get.

If you pass an object, you'll have an object. Here in that example we'll use JSX, but it is the same as using the `h`-calls. 

```jsx

const pTagStyle = {

  background: 'red',

  'font-size': '15px'

}

const node = 
Hello World


console.log(node.properties.style.background) // => 'red'

console.log(node.properties.style)

// => { background: 'red', 'font-size': '15px' }

```

Notice that we also **don't decamelize** style keys, so you should use quotes.

## Contributing

Pull requests and stars are always welcome. For bugs and feature requests, [please create an issue](https://github.com/tunnckoCore/mich-h/issues/new).  

Please read the [contributing guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) for advice on opening issues, pull requests, and coding standards.  

If you need some help and can spent some cash, feel free to [contact me at CodeMentor.io](https://www.codementor.io/tunnckocore?utm_source=github&utm_medium=button&utm_term=tunnckocore&utm_campaign=github) too.

**In short:** If you want to contribute to that project, please follow these things

1. Please DO NOT edit [README.md](README.md), [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) and [.verb.md](.verb.md) files. See ["Building docs"](#building-docs) section.

2. Ensure anything is okey by installing the dependencies and run the tests. See ["Running tests"](#running-tests) section.

3. Always use `npm run commit` to commit changes instead of `git commit`, because it is interactive and user-friendly. It uses [commitizen][] behind the scenes, which follows Conventional Changelog idealogy.

4. Do NOT bump the version in package.json. For that we use `npm run release`, which is [standard-version][] and follows Conventional Changelog idealogy.

Thanks a lot! :)

## Building docs

Documentation and that readme is generated using [verb-generate-readme][], which is a [verb][] generator, so you need to install both of them and then run `verb` command like that

```

$ npm install verbose/verb#dev verb-generate-readme --global && verb

```

_Please don't edit the README directly. Any changes to the readme must be made in [.verb.md](.verb.md)._

## Running tests

Clone repository and run the following in that cloned directory

```

$ npm install && npm test

```
