campfire

a cozy web framework

Campfire is a collection of small utilities to make developing with vanilla JS easy.

It is kept lightweight on purpose, aiming to provide the bare minimum necessary to make development easier.

Features

• Fluent builder API: Create and configure DOM elements with a chainable, intuitive API
• Reactive data stores: Implement reactive data and elements with Campfire's store APIs
• Templating Helpers: Simple utilities for HTML templating and content rendering
• Minimal footprint: 5kb compressed
• TypeScript support: First-class TypeScript integration with type inference
• Composable elements: Preserve reactive children across re-renders
• DOM Helpers: Streamlined APIs for DOM manipulation and event handling

Building

$ npm run build

Then you can use dist/campfire.min.js and dist/campfire.d.ts.

Usage

You can use it directly in a JS file intended for the browser, either from esm.sh or unpkg, or self-host it:

import cf from "https://esm.sh/campfire.js";

or install it with npm (npm i campfire.js) and use it in your existing workflow.

All the methods and classes are also exported, so you can do named imports as usual:

import { ListStore, nu } from "https://esm.sh/campfire.js";

Quick reference
