just-dom

A small library for building the real DOM with typed tag factories, refs, fragments, and a plugin system. Ships as ESM and CJS with TypeScript declarations.

• Documentation: just-dom.vercel.app
• npm: just-dom

Install

npm install just-dom

Quick example

import DOM, { createRoot } from "just-dom";

const app = DOM.div({ className: "app" }, [
  DOM.h1({}, ["Hello, Just DOM"]),
  DOM.p({}, ["Mount below, then edit this tree."]),
]);

createRoot("app", app);

createRoot accepts a container id ("app") or an HTMLElement, and appends your root element (see createRoot).

Plugins and jd.config

Use withPlugins to attach official or custom plugins. In apps, the usual pattern is a single module (jd.config.ts) that exports jd for the whole project.

New project (Vite + TypeScript)

npm create just-dom@latest my-app

See create-just-dom on npm and the App setup / CLI docs.
