Oak

A solid community managed front-end focused composition of libraries.

Oak takes reliable community managed libraries and composes them together to simply make it easier to get started with build your component architected application.

libraries

• virtual-dom
• redux
• hyperscript (helpers)
• main-loop

Getting Started

The purpose of this module is to make it very easy to get started building component architected front-end applications.

npm i @twilson63/oak -S
touch src/app.js

app.js

import createApp from '@twilson63/oak'
import { reducers, render, target } from './components'

const store = createApp({ reducers, render, target })

Component Structure

A component simply consists of two functions:

• reducer
• render

The reducer function takes two parameters and should return the new state.

• state
• action

The state argument will contain the previous state for this component and the action will contain an object with a type attribute and another attributes to help.

The render function, is responsible for returning vDOM nodes to be rendered in the virtual-dom library.

Helper Methods

hh

hh can be used in your component to use hyperscript helpers in your view or render functions.

Example

import hh from 'oak/hh'

const { div, h1 } = hh

const reducer = (state = {}, action) => state

const render = state =>
  div([
    h1('Hello World')
  ])

export { effects, reducer, render }

Recommended Effects Helpers

Using most, linchpin, and page work will with this collection of libraries.

• most for dom event streams
• linchpin for single event emitter
• page for router

This libraries bring in effects from the outside either via route management, server events, or dom events, using these in your effects section can simplify your process.
