Rasti is a minimalistic JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
It is designed to simplify the creation of complex dynamic applications by providing a declarative API for building reusable and composable UI components.
Rasti is based on web standards, has a small footprint, and can be used directly in the browser without requiring any boilerplate or configuration.
The project is hosted on GitHub, and it's available for use under the MIT software license.
You can report bugs and discuss features on the GitHub issues page.
Getting started
Using npm
$ npm install rasti
import { Model, Component } from 'rasti';
Using ES modules
import { Model, Component } from 'https://esm.run/rasti';
Using <script>
tag
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rasti/dist/rasti.min.js"></script>
const { Model, Component } = Rasti;
The rasti npm package includes precompiled production and development UMD builds in the dist folder. They can be used directly without a bundler and are thus compatible with many popular JavaScript module loaders and environments.
The UMD builds make Rasti available as a window.Rasti
global variable.
A simple Component
// Create Timer component.
const Timer = Component.create`
<div>
Seconds: <span>${({ model }) => model.seconds}</span>
</div>
`;
// Create model to store seconds.
const model = new Model({ seconds: 0 });
// Mount timer on body.
Timer.mount({ model }, document.body);
// Increment `model.seconds` every second.
setInterval(() => model.seconds++, 1000);
Adding sub components
// Create Button component.
const Button = Component.create`
<button
onClick="${{ '&' : function() { this.options.onClick() } }}"
>
${({ options }) => options.label}
</button>
`;
// Create Counter component.
const Counter = Component.create`
<div>
${({ model }) => Button.mount({ label : '-', onClick : () => model.count-- })}
<span>${({ model }) => model.count}</span>
${({ model }) => Button.mount({ label : '+', onClick : () => model.count++ })}
</div>
`;
// Create model to store count.
const model = new Model({ count: 0 });
// Mount counter on body.
Counter.mount({ model }, document.body);
Example
The rasti GitHub repository includes, in the example folder, an example TODO application that can be used as starter project.
