We’re not designing pages, we’re designing systems of components. — Stephen Hay

What is iizuna?
Iizuna came from the idea of designing a truly developer-friendly framework.
Many of today's TypeScript frameworks, such as Angular or React, are not designed to be used on pages that rely on old-fashioned server-side rendering.
This framework is really easy to use because it basically consists of only one building block, the component.
These components reflect rough HTML elements.
Selectors (currently only data-attributes) define which elements are decorated with the business-logic you develop.
Additional attributes allow additional configuration of the components, making them easily reusable.
Wordings
First of all a few explanations to some of the words used in this framework.
Component
The class containing the business logic. Not to be confused with the Individual-Component.
Individual-Component
The objects instantiated based by the Component they are descendants of.
For each matching element on the page, which matches the component selector, a Individual-Component is created.
Global Events
CustomEvents which are dispatched directly to the document.
Usage
First, a component must be declared. Here we declare a simple "scroll to top" button.
import {AbstractComponent, Component, ElementAttribute, EventListener, smoothScroll} from "iizuna";
@Component({
selector: 'scroll-top'
})
export class ScrollTopComponent extends AbstractComponent {
@ElementAttribute()
protected duration = 500;
@EventListener()
public click() {
smoothScroll(0, +this.duration);
}
}
Then we need to register the created component for bootstrapping.
import {ComponentFactory} from "iizuna";
import {ScrollTopComponent} from "./scroll-top.component";
ComponentFactory.registerComponents([
ScrollTopComponent
]);
Now we just have to define the html and call the page (after building the javascript of cause).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"/>
<title>TypeScript Components</title>
</head>
<body>
<button scroll-top duration="1000">To Top 1000ms</button>
<script src="build.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
