Simply is a lightweight JavaScript framework for building user interfaces with plain JavaScript. It allows you to write UI components in a syntax that resembles HTML, but with the full power of JavaScript behind it. Here's a quick example:
Create Button Componet Button.js:
// Button component
const Button = () => {
let i = 0;
const increment = () => {
i++;
console.log(i);
alert(i);
}
return (
<button onClick={increment} class="btn btn-primary">Click me</button>
)
}
// In SimplyJS, no need to export componentCreate Container Component Container.js
// import Button Component
import Button from './Button';
// or with .js extension (optional) import Button from './Button.js';
const Container = () => {
return (
<div className="container">
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<Button />
<p>This is a simple example of a component built with Simply.</p>
</div>
)
}
Simply.render(Container, "#root", () => {
console.log('Rendered Success!')
});This code will render a div element with a class of "container", containing an h1 element with the text "Hello, world!", button element with a class of "btn btn-primary" with an onclick event to increment the i variable. Also a p element with some sample text. It will then append that div to the element with an ID of "root" in your HTML document.
The Simply.render method takes 3 arguments: a component function, container element and callback function. The component function should return a tree of Simply elements, which are plain JavaScript objects that describe a UI element. These elements can be nested, just like regular HTML, to build up a complete user interface.
To get started with this project, follow these steps:
First, you'll need to download the SimplyJS library and include it in your project. You can download the library from here. SimplyJS provides a single simply.development.js file that you can include in your HTML file.
<script src="./path/to/simply.development.js"></script>or clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/aldrin112602/SimplyJS.git
cd simplyJSThis example project demonstrates how to create a simple login form using Simply.js. Here's a breakdown of the key components:
The Form component is a simple login form that takes in a username and password and logs them to the console when the form is submitted.
Create a File called Form.js
const Form = () => {
let username, password;
// handle login request
const handleLogin = (ev) => {
ev.preventDefault();
const data = { username, password };
// display data
console.log(data);
};
return (
<form method="post" className="col-7 bg-dark p-5 text-white" onSubmit={handleLogin}>
<h1 className="text-center">Log-In</h1>
<label className="form-label">Enter your Username</label>
<input
placeholder="Username"
className="form-control"
type="text"
name="username"
required={true}
onInput={(e) => (username = e.target.value)}
></input>
<label className="form-label">Enter your Password</label>
<input
placeholder="Password"
className="form-control"
type="password"
name="password"
required={true}
onInput={(e) => (password = e.target.value)}
></input>
<div className="d-grid mt-4">
<button type="submit" className="btn btn-primary btn-block">Login now</button>
</div>
</form>
);
};To render the Form component to the DOM, we use the Simply.render() function:
Simply.render(Form, "#root");Here, we're rendering the Form component to the #root element in the HTML document.
Now create index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
