Not-React

A straightforward & simple implementation of a React-like library.

Created for fun and learning purposes 🤷‍♀️

Demo:

You can see a live demo with all of the code here.

Usage:

Basically the same as React, either with or without JSX.

Without JSX:

import * as NotReactDOM from "not-react-dom";
import { createElement, useState } from "not-react";

const App = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return createElement(
    "div",
    { className: "app" },
    createElement("h1", {}, "Hello World!")
  );
};

NotReactDOM.render(createElement(App), document.getElementById("root"));

With JSX:

import NotReact from "not-react";
import * as NotReactDOM from "not-react-dom";

const App = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return (
    <div className="app">
      <h1>Hello World!</h1>
    </div>
  );
};

NotReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));

Note

Same as React, in order to use JSX, you need to add the @babel/plugin-transform-react-jsx plugin to your Babel config.

The difference is that you'll need to set the pragma option to NotReact.createElement (see the .babelrc file), and import NotReact instead of React.

Available Hooks:

• useState
• useEffect
• useRef
• useMemo
• useReducer
• useCallback
