Introducing FicusJS

#javascript #webdev #typescript #ficus

FicusJS is a set of lightweight functions for developing applications using web components.

A function for creating fast, lightweight web components (1.88 KB gzipped)
A function for creating fast, lightweight stores for application state (1.21 KB gzipped)
A function for creating a fast, lightweight publish/subscribe event bus (271 B gzipped)

If you are looking for a fast, lightweight way to build web applications using native browser APIs, FicusJS might be what you are looking for!

Browsers have improved a lot over the past years. It's now possible to do web development without requiring any build tools, using the native module loader of the browser. We think this is a great fit for FicusJS, and we recommend this as a general starting point.

Aligns with standards

FicusJS aligns with standard browser APIs which means it is not based on any proprietary code or libraries.

As it is based on standards, it has longevity and is a good choice for enterprise web applications.
