petite-vue VS Mithril.js

Something similar: https://github.com/vuejs/petite-vue (6kb subset of Vue) but the project seems abandoned.

I started with petite-vue because Vue seemed too large of a file size for my simple projects. Wanting to use Vue but after reading some of the comments, I might go with Svelte.

Like: petite-vue And/or a zero-dependency lightweight state management solution.

I recommend trying https://github.com/vuejs/petite-vue as a minimalist library for declarative reactive view/model data binding, it could at least halve the code used for generating view

Maybe I’ve spent 5 days on and off researching this. I was able to recreate it perfectly using petite-vue https://github.com/vuejs/petite-vue which is nice, but it does not have all the features I need in Vue3

“petite-vue is indeed intended to fill the gap for progressive enhancement cases where Vue 3 would be too heavy-handed.

It is not abandoned, but rather it is considered "done" because the scope is well defined. I don't think it needs more features (as that would defeat the purpose of being lean and minimal). If you find yourself needing more than what petite-vue provides, you can either go up to Vue proper, or try https://alpinejs.dev/.

That said, I should update the README to indicate this more clearly.”

You might consider doing as much as possible in Razor pages and then use https://github.com/vuejs/petite-vue for any functionality you might (components/interactivity/etc.) need.

As another alternative, you could look at petite-vue if you just want to sprinkle from Vue-like components throughout your site... Doesn't have the full force of vue, but maybe it's enough.

I don’t enjoy React much, but (as I’ve commented before) I do love Mithril (https://mithril.js.org). Immediate-mode UI via a vDOM, like React, but small, simple, and with none of the reactivity complications. I’d never go back to building apps with pure JS.

You can find more information about Mithril.js on its official website.

The idea of nested function calls to build HTML is not new. Back in the hey-day of JS frameworks, this was a common vdom pattern. I kinda miss [MithrilJS](https://mithril.js.org/#dom-elements)

I have mixed feelings about React. I like it better than jQuery, and better than other JS frameworks I’ve used.

But I much prefer Mithril (https://mithril.js.org/), which offers the same immediate-mode advantages (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19746235) but without the crazy complex dependency-tracking reactivity.

I rather liked this comment on React: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38640051

Vue with Vite (the builder/runner) is a stable, open source option. It is really a lightweight start where you're mostly writing HTML with interpolated data, and Vue is updating values correctly and performantly. Just build your reactive HTML app in one file and break into separate components as you're feeling the spirit. https://vuejs.org/guide/quick-start

Mithril if you just want to drop in want a tiny, complete reactive library that doesn't require a build step--this one is most like what you might end up creating in a large jQuery app. You can understand everything from the homepage. https://mithril.js.org/

HTMX if you really like HTML conventions. This doesn't feel jQuery-like and depends on your approach to your server app. https://htmx.org/

React is still has gratuitous complexity. If you need some React like, take a look at mithril which is simpler and much smaller.

The submitter creating multiple var -> let PRs (one PR per file), was also doing this in other projects, and would've broken some of their users.

https://github.com/MithrilJS/mithril.js/pull/2880#pullreques...

And he created multiple PRs there too. And didn't follow their workflow...
