Features:
Use Case Highlight:
Perfect for creating immersive role-playing experiences, educational tools, or conversational agents where users can interact with pre-defined characters.

To add Ketchup Lite to your project, you can install it via yarn:
yarn install ketchup-lite
After installing, you can import and use Ketchup Lite components in your project. Here's a quick example of how to use the <kul-button> component:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Ketchup Lite Example</title>
<script type="module" src="./path/to/ketchup-lite/dist/index.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<kul-button kul-label="Click me!" />
</body>
</html>
Make sure to replace ./path/to/ketchup-lite/dist/index.js with the correct path to the index.js file in your node_modules/ketchup-lite directory.
Ketchup Lite, while sharing a common heritage with the original Ketchup project, has been tailored to cater to specific needs and preferences. Here are some key differences that set Ketchup Lite apart:
Lighter: Ketchup Lite is designed to be significantly lighter, making it an ideal choice for personal websites or smaller projects where performance and load times are critical.
Oriented Towards Personal Websites/Projects: With a focus on simplicity and ease of use, Ketchup Lite is more suited for individual developers or small teams working on personal projects. It offers a streamlined set of features that are easy to implement and maintain.
Glassmorphism Look: Ketchup Lite incorporates a glassmorphism aesthetic throughout its components. This gives a modern, transparent, and sleek appearance to the UI elements, enhancing the visual appeal of personal projects.
Absence of the KupObj Concept: Unlike the original Ketchup, Ketchup Lite does not include the KupObj concept.
Absence of FComponents: Given the library's limited scope, converting its basic components to functional components is unnecessary. If you plan to add thousands of nested web components, it is recommended to stick to the original project.
Event Management: Each component emits a single generic event that encapsulates various actions. Here is an example of how to listen for a button's click event:
const myButton = document.querySelector('kul-button');
myButton.addEventListener('kul-button-event', (e) => {
if (e.detail.eventType === 'click') {
console.log('Click!');
}
});
For detailed information about each component, including available properties, events, and methods, please refer to the showcase.
