Rax is a universal JavaScript library with a largely React-compatible API. If you use React, you already know how to use Rax.

⚡ Fast: blazing fast virtual DOM.

🎯 Tiny: 8.0 KB minified + gzipped.

🎨 Universal: works in browsers, Weex, Node.js and could works more container that implement driver specification.

Quick Start

Install the Rax CLI tools to init project:

npm install rax-cli -g
rax init YourProjectName

Start local server to launch project:

cd YourProjectName
npm run start

Examples

import {createElement, Component, render} from 'rax';
import Text from 'rax-text';

class Hello extends Component {
  render() {
    return [
      <Text style={styles.title}>Hello Rax</Text>,
      <Text style={styles.title}>Hello {this.props.name}</Text>,
    ];
  }
}

const styles = {
  title: {
    color: '#ff4400',
    fontSize: 48,
    fontWeight: 'bold',
  }
};

render(<Hello name="world" />);
