What is dom99 ?
dom99 is a JavaScript framework focused to make web development faster. Select HTML elements, add event listeners, synchronize state with the view, clone HTML templates with your data and insert it directly in the document. Demo
Installation
Basic Use
Data-binding
<!-- The input and the paragraph as well as the js variable always have the same value -->
<input data-variable="text">
<p data-variable="text"></p>
<script>

Design philosophy
Optimized for page-load
By default dom99 is optimized for first page load, that means the size is small.
HTML for mark-up, JS for logic
Get up an running fast. dom99 does not attempt to invent for the nth time how to write if
statements and for
loops inside HTML. Put logic in JS, and mark-up that you already know in HTML.
Separation of concerns
Designers and Developers can work on the same files. Elements in the mark-up linked to the DOM use data-*
instead of the overused class
and id
. The benefits to this approach is that the developers can safely add data-attributes to stylized components without breaking the styles, and the designers can safely add classes
and ids
without breaking anything.
Easy to learn
Get up an running fast. Documentation Use a premade starter pack create-dom99-app.
Work with the Web platform
dom99 is a web framework and is an extension to web standards HTML, CSS and JS, and does not intent to be a replacement.
Zero-second compile time
dom99 can be used in a zero-second compile time development set-up with ES-modules.
Avoiding leaky abstractions
No virtual dom is used for maximum possible performance. Explanation from chrismorgan about DOM and VDOM.
Unopinionated
dom99 is unopinionated and bigger frameworks can be built on top of it. That means you can chose your own architecture, state management system, CSS system etc

Examples
HTML Composition
<!--
Define the template for an user
every user has a picture, a short biography, and a contact button
-->
<template data-template="user-element">
<img data-variable="picture">
<p data-variable="bio">SHORT BIO</p>
<button>Contact</button>
</template>
<!--
The list variable name is "users" and the template used is "user-element"
native html elements can also be used to display a list
-->
<div data-list="users-user-element"></div>
<script type="module">
import * as d from "./node_modules/dom99/built/dom99ES.js";
d.feed({users :
[
{
picture: "usera.jpg",
bio: "Loves biking and skating"
},
{
picture: "userb.jpg",
bio: "Drinks tons of café."
}
]
});
d.activate();
</script>
HTML Result
<div data-list="*users-user-element"> <img data-variable="*picture" alt="user-picture" src="usera.jpg"> <p data-variable="*bio">Loves biking and skating</p> <button>Contact</button> <img data-variable="*picture" alt="user-picture" src="userb.jpg"> <p data-variable="*bio">Drinks tons of café.</p> <button>Contact</button> </div>
