FormaJS

Reactive DOM library with fine-grained signals, islands architecture, and SSR hydration. ~15KB gzipped.

Install

npm install @getforma/core

Quick Start

import { createSignal, h, mount } from '@getforma/core';

const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0);

mount(() =>
  h('button', { onClick: () => setCount(count() + 1) },
    () => `Clicked ${count()} times`
  ),
  '#app'
);

Features

• Fine-grained reactivity — signals, effects, computed values via alien-signals
• Virtual DOM — h() function with reactive attribute and text binding
• Islands architecture — activateIslands() for partial hydration of server-rendered HTML
• Conditional rendering — createShow(), createSwitch() with cached branches
• List rendering — createList() with keyed reconciliation, handles 50K+ rows
• State management — createStore() with deep reactivity, history, persistence
• SSR support — server-side rendering runtime with hydration

Ecosystem

• forma — Rust server framework (forma-ir + forma-server)
• forma-tools — Build tooling (@getforma/compiler + @getforma/build)
• create-forma-app — CLI scaffolder
