An ultra small (~70 loc) React wrapper written in RacketScript
Rackt allows you to develop full-featured React web apps in RacketScript. You can use all React compatible libraries with it as well.
Key featrures
- 🪶 Ultra small. Rackt is a pretty thin wrapper for React. Just consider you use React but with RacketScript.
- ⚡ Super lightweight. Compiled code takes only 6 Kb ungzipped.
- 🔌 Easy to use API. All transformations between JavaScript and RacketScript primitives happen under the hood. You can focus on writing code.
- ✨ Modern. It has first-class support of functional components and hooks.
Here you can see an example of a pretty simple Rackt-component:
(define (counter props ..)
(define-values (counter set-counter) (use-state 0))
(<el "div"
(<el "button"
#:props ($/obj [ className "button" ]
[ type "button" ]
[onClick (lambda (_) (set-counter (- counter 1)))])
"- 1")
(<el "span" #:props ($/obj [ className "counter" ]) counter)
(<el "button"
#:props ($/obj [ className "button" ]
[ type "button" ]
[onClick (lambda (_) (set-counter (+ counter 1)))])
"+ 1")))
(render (<el counter) "root")
<el
is just a simple wrapper for React.createElement
. It has the same API but with a little bit different syntax:
(define create-element
(lambda (component #:props [props null] . children)
...
As you can see it takes component
, optional props
and any amount of children
.
For other functions, you can see their implementation right here and use React documentation for all of them.
You can find working examples on the Rackt's main page.
