Warning
Nero is an experimental project created for learning purposes, it is not intended for production use. The focus is on exploring how reactivity libraries and compilers work internally, not on building a stable or feature-complete framework.
Nero is a runtime and compiler for reactive frontend apps, focused on fine-grained reactivity, context-based lifecycles, and minimal DOM updates.
- Reactive state with signals and effects
- Scoped lifecycles using contexts and cleanup hooks
- DOM helpers for html creation and manipulation
- Built-in support for conditionals and lists
- Fine-grained updates without a virtual DOM
- Planned DSL compiler to generate components from the runtime and dom helpers.
- Improved errors and warnings.
- Built-in event delegation.
- Event listener and cleanup.
- More helpers for attributes and properties.
- Support for async resources.
- Factory from html for easier dom creation.
- Untrack for getting value without dependency creation.
- A custom DSL compiler that transforms a higher-level declarative syntax into runtime calls.
- Support for declarative template syntax.
- Vite plugin integration.
- Playground to show code compilationd and generation.
- Hot reload for the compiler and runtime.
- Instropection of context, signals and effects.
- Runtime usage documentation to be used manually.
- Clear documentation about the DSL features and transformation.
- Tutorials for how to write components using signals and effects.
- Examples of using the controls for conditionals and lists.
- Showcase of a complete application.
