A minimalist JS framework to bind html and js and provide UI basic like drag&drop or dialogs. The developer shall focus on creating optimized content for his application.
https://felixfurtmayr.github.io/light-bind/example.html
Running The Examples Locally: ES6 modules require a web server. Choose any of these options:
python3 -m http.server 8000
Now visit: http://localhost:8000/example.html
- Quick setup, Rapid Development, Minimal Footprint
- Beautiful and short Code
- Enhance the web standards
- Provide core components for common needs (notifications, uploads, drag-and-drop, storage, http)
- Reactive Data Binding, Component System
- debugging:
- make html parser more robust for dynamic attrs like form[item.id]
- debugging: error, if problem within main function crashes, because currently nothing happens
- performance updates: initial load + repeat (compile the html directly)
- css grid? icons?
- routing recommendation?
- filters - for date and currency? the reapeat itself does does filtering already better
- diggest cycle after events?
- animation
To buid the minified version run:
npm i # install dependencies
npm run build # build minified version with rollup
<script type="module">import { LightBind } from './lightbind.js'; new LightBind().start();</script>
<div bind-function="CounterApp">
<h1>{{title}}</h1>
<button on-click="increment()">Count: {{count}}</button>
</div>
<script>
function CounterApp(scope) {
scope.title = 'Simple Counter';
scope.count = 0;
scope.increment = () => {
scope.count++;
};
}
</script>For larger applications, organize your code like this:

// Storage
storage.set('user', { id: 1, name: 'John' });
const user = storage.get('user');<!-- File Upload -->
