Compo

Travis Status

Compo is a JavaScript Web UI tiny library powering Web Components with a functional API and a Virtual DOM rendering.

You have to compo·se your compo·nents by enriching them with each feature through a central composing function. Markup and Style are considered as a feature you can add to your components.

Installation

npm install compo

yarn add compo

Example

import {
  html,
  css,
  createStore,
  component,
  withProp,
  withStore,
  withStyle,
  withMarkup,
} from 'compo';

createStore((state, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case 'ADD': return state + 1;
    case 'SUB': return state - 1;
    default: return state;
  }
}, 0);

component(
  'my-counter-label',
  withProp('value'),
  withStyle(({ value }) => css`
    :host {
      color: ${value < 1 ? 'red' : 'black'};
    }
  `,),
);

component(
  'my-counter',
  withStore(({ getState, dispatch }) => ({
    counter: getState(),
    add: () => dispatch({ type: 'ADD' }),
    sub: () => dispatch({ type: 'SUB' }),
  })),
  withMarkup(({ counter, add, sub }) => html`
    <div>
      <my-counter-label value=${counter}>${counter}</my-counter-label>
      <button onclick=${add}>+</button>
      <button onclick=${sub}>-</button>
    </div>
  `),
);

API

component( name:String, ...enhancers:Array<(Component => Component)> ):void

Define a Custom Element with named name and enhanced by each enhancers.

component(
  'my-component',
  withProp('my-prop')
);

withMarkup( (props => Markup) ):(Component => Component)

Define an enhancer which will render the Markup returned in the component and will re-render on every change detection.

You'll obtain an Markup object by using the html tagged template described bellow.

component(
  'my-component',
  withMarkup(() => html`<div>Hello World</div>`)
);

withStyle( (props => Style) ):(Component => Component)

Define an enhancer which will add a style block with the Style returned and will update the style on every change detection.

The Style object can be either a standard string or an object using the css tagged template described bellow.

component(
  'my-component',
  withStyle(() => css`:host { color: red; }`)
);

withProp( name ):(Component => Component)

Define an enhancer which will instrument and trigger an update on modification on the component property name.

component(
  'my-component',
  withProp('my-prop')
);

withHandler( name, (props => handler) ):(Component => Component)

Define an enhancer which will add a name property to the component with handler returned to be used in the markup.

component(
  'my-component',
  withHandler(() => event => console.log('my handler', event))
)

withConnected( (props => void) ):(Component => Component)

Define an enhancer which will run the function in parameter when the component is connected corresponding to the Custom Element standard connectedCallback function.

component(
  'my-component',
  withConnected(() => console.log('component connected'))
)

withStore( ((store, props) => object) ):(Component => Component)

Define an enhancer which will run the function in parameter at every store updates and assign all return object properties to the component object.

The store must be created beforehand by using createStore described bellow.

component(
  "my-component",
  withStore(({ getState, dispatch }) => {
    myData: getState().my.data,
    myAction: () => dispatch({ type: "MY_ACTION" })
  })
)

html

ES2015 tagged template allowing to create DOM templates with rich interpolations.

html`
  <my-component my-prop=${prop}>
    ${content}
  </my-component>
`

Known limitation: you currently can't use serveral interpolations in a single DOM node or property.

css

ES2015 tagged template allowing to create CSS content.

To be perfectly honest it does absolutely nothing right now! Still reserving the API can be good and it triggers syntax highlighting in many editors.

css`
  my-component {
    color: red;
  }
`

createStore( ((state, action) => state), initialState ): Store

Initialize the internal store with the reducer in argument.

In contrary to Redux, you don't always need to get the Store returned. It's automatically passed to the withStore enhancer.

createStore((state, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case 'ADD': return state + 1;
    case 'SUB': return state - 1;
    default: return state;
  }
}, 0);

Router API

withRouteEvent( ( url, props ) => void ):(Component => Component)

Allow the component to have a callback on every url changes.

component(
  'my-component',
  withRouteEvent((url) => console.log('new url', url))
)

withRouteAction( [ handlerName ] = 'go' ):(Component => Component)

Add a handlerName handler in the component which allow to trigger a routing to the url in parameter.

component(
  'my-component',
  withRouteAction('navigate'),
  withHandler(({ navigate }) => (event) => navigate("/my-route")),
)

Component compo-path

Built-in component allowing to insert a component depending on the current path.

<my-container>
  <compo-path path=${"/my-route-1"} component=${"my-component-1"}></compo-path>
  <compo-path path=${"/my-route-2"} component=${"my-component-2"}></compo-path>
</my-container>

Examples

Counter

Most basic example exactly the same as above in this readme.

Try it in CodeSanbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/yv5y14o6pj

2048

Advanced example implementing the popular 2048 game.

2048 compat

Same as 2048 but with polyfill loaded to be tested on other browsers than Chrome

Strangely doesn't work yet on CodeSanbox

Routing

Motivations

It started with the exploration of the Web Components and Shadow DOM APIs and followed by the willing to use v-dom concepts in this contexts.

Based upon that foundations, the objective was to have a functional API like recompose to power Web Components.

Minimalism and staying close and bounded to the standards.

Compatibility

Compo is not transpiled to old JavaScript and really based upon Web Components so it only works out of the box on recent Chrome. It's also working quite well on Firefox 63.0 without any flag.

It's planned to have a compatibility build using polyfills.
