@zenithbuild/runtime

⚠️ Internal API: This package is an internal implementation detail of the Zenith framework. It is not intended for public use and its API may break without warning. Please use @zenithbuild/core instead.

Internal runtime package for Zenith hydration, bindings, and reactive primitives consumed by compiled output.

Canonical Docs

• Runtime contract: ../../docs/documentation/contracts/runtime-contract.md
• Hydration contract: ../../docs/documentation/contracts/hydration-contract.md
• Reactive binding model: ../../docs/documentation/reference/reactive-binding-model.md

Overview

This package provides the minimal runtime surfaces needed after compile:

• signal/state/effect/mount primitives
• DOM binding and hydration helpers
• template/runtime bridges consumed by compiler and bundler output

It does not define a public virtual-DOM framework API.

Features

• Fine-Grained Reactivity: signal/state/effect primitives used by emitted code.
• Hydration: deterministic client-side hydration for server-rendered HTML.
• Lifecycle Cleanup: explicit mount/effect cleanup semantics.
• Narrow Presence Helper: canonical zenPresence(...) plus optional presence(...) alias for ref-owned always-mounted nodes when app code explicitly imports the runtime package.

Usage

This package is installed as an internal framework dependency. App code should normally use the public Zenith surface instead of importing @zenithbuild/runtime directly.
