🥩 MEAT

Mitt Enhanced Application Toolkit

Minimal reactive state system with plugin support, Vue composables, and zero dependencies.

One API, ten frameworks, zero stress. MEAT plugs into Alpine, Angular, Astro, Nuxt, Next.js, React, Qwik, Solid, Svelte, and Vue — saving your bacon across the board.

1.B1 — Bugfix Release

• Persistence plugin now only wraps the public methods (meat.set / meat.setState) — no more “invalid assignment to const” errors.
• use() warnings only fire on actual method overwrites (no more PLUGIN_CLASH spam).
• Restored aliases and APIs for backwards-compat:
  • meat.bindToGlobal()
  • meat.signal()
  • meat.listen()
  • meat.logState()
  • meat.chronicle()

🍖 Core Features (Ribwich Edition)

• ✅ Reactive state engine with set(), get(), and setState()
• 🧠 Per-key mutation history via MeatChronicle
• ⏪ Undo / rollback / safe execution with undo(), rollbackAll(), and safe(fn)
• 🔍 Runtime introspection (dump(), find(), changedKeys(), lastModified())
• 🧪 Temporal snapshotting with historySnapshot()
• 🔗 DOM binding via linkToDOM() — usable across Alpine, Svelte, Astro
• 🧩 Plugin architecture with .use() for extensions
• 🗂️ LocalStorage support via persist() and load()
• ⚙️ Framework adapters for Vue, Laravel, React, Nuxt, and more

🍖 Features

• Reactive state via meat.set() / meat.get()
• Scoped listeners and wildcard events
• DOM syncing with linkToDOM()
• Zero dependencies
• Plugin architecture via .use()
• Vue 3 composables
• LocalStorage persistence

📦 Install

npm install @lucianofpereira/meat
# or
yarn add @lucianofpereira/meat

Basic usage:

import meat from 'meat';
meat.set('theme', 'dark');

🔌 Plugin Support

meat.use(pluginFn); // Load MEAT-enhancing logic

Examples:

• logState.js adds meat.logState() using console.table()
• meatVuePlugin.js enables $meat globally in Vue apps

Composables:

const theme = useMeat('theme'); // Vue reactive ref

🧠 Included Plugins

MEAT ships with MeatChronicle, a single all-in-one runtime plugin providing:

• per-key mutation logs
• undo() and rollback() capabilities
• safe(fn) execution guards
• temporal snapshots via historySnapshot()
• logMessage() with scoped tracing

Activate with:

import { MeatChronicle } from './plugins/chronicle.js';
meat.use(MeatChronicle);
