The tiny framework for building web interfaces.
To learn more, go to https://hyperapp.dev for documentation, guides, and examples.
Install Hyperapp with npm or Yarn:
npm i hyperapp
Then with a module bundler like Parcel or Webpack import it in your application and get right down to business.
import { h, app } from "hyperapp"
Don't want to set up a build step? Import Hyperapp in a <script> tag as a module. Don't worry; modules are supported in all evergreen, self-updating desktop, and mobile browsers.
<script type="module">
import { h, app } from "https://unpkg.com/hyperapp"
</script>
Here's the first example to get you started: a counter that can go up or down. You can try it online here.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<script type="module">
import { h, app } from "https://unpkg.com/hyperapp"
app({
init: 0,
view: state =>
h("div", {}, [
h("h1", {}, state),
h("button", { onClick: state => state - 1 }, "-"),
h("button", { onClick: state => state + 1 }, "+")
]),
node: document.getElementById("app")
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="app"></div>
</body>
</html>
The app starts off with init as the initial state. Our code doesn't explicitly maintain any state. Instead, we define actions to transform it and a view to visualize it. The view returns a plain object representation of the DOM known as a virtual DOM, and Hyperapp updates the real DOM to match it whenever the state changes.
Now it's your turn! Experiment with the code a bit. Spend some time thinking about how the view reacts to changes in the state. Can you add a button that resets the counter back to zero? Or how about multiple counters?
We love to talk JavaScript and Hyperapp. If you've hit a stumbling block, hop on the Hyperapp Slack or drop by Spectrum to get support, and if you don't receive an answer, or if you remain stuck, please file an issue, and we'll try to help you out.
