riot VS knockout

These articles form a series focusing on RiotJS paired with BeerCSS, designed to guide you through creating components and mastering best practices for building production-ready applications. I assume you have a foundational understanding of Riot; however, feel free to refer to the documentation if needed: https://riot.js.org/documentation/

This article covers how to create an Riot input component, using the Material Design CSS BeerCSS. Before starting, make sure you have a base application running, or read my previous article Setup Riot + BeerCSS + Vite.

However, Riot is my first choice when creating a front-end, here is why:

Riot.js is designed to be lightweight and easy to learn, making it a good choice for developers who are familiar with HTML and JavaScript — without requiring them to learn the rigors of coding with a specific framework. Riot.js emphasizes simplicity, performance, and modularity, its ecosystem allows for easy integration of third-party libraries and components, making it suitable for both small-scale and large-scale projects.

how about getting a hold of your sanity and allowing yourself a few hours to learn https://riot.js.org/ - almost no learning curve, only pure awesomeness. even if you won't use it in the enterprise (because policies, bla bla), it is still worth knowing things can be done differently - in a good way.

Riot.js prides itself as a light and simple UI library that helps developers hit the ground running when creating elegant UIs for their applications.

Thanks! Glad you like it. I'm the original author of Riot (https://riot.js.org/) so that's the style of frontend development I'm most comfortable with. We're using our own flavour of the library, which has the original super-mimimalistic feel on it.

The approach is not new, essentially a variation of Knockout, Alpine, and similar "JS-in-HTML" approaches.

SolidJS and Tauri form another potent combination for creating performant, lightweight, and secure experiences. SolidJS is a reactive UI library that is similar to Svelte in the way it compiles away reactivity and updates the DOM directly, but it also incorporates a fine-grained reactivity system reminiscent of libraries like Marko, Knockout, and MobX.

People act like Signals are a new discovery. KnockoutJS was using them 13 years ago and other libraries used them before that.

Knockout JS is a Javascript library which uses the MVVM pattern to bind data to certain DOM elements. Within Magento, we usually define a View-Model (which is a .js file) and a Template (which is a .html file), and the data in the template file is bound to the view-model, meaning whenever the data in the view-model changes, the template file changes too.

I still use Knockout[0] for almost an identical experience.

One of the first uses of this concept was in knockout, which used the same function with and without arguments for write/read access.

To do this, use a Javascript library called knockout.js

You could use a JavaScript framework called KnockoutJS which uses the MVVM pattern.

Magento is built with PHP. A good understanding of PHP is generally enough to perform different development tasks such as building modules. However, developers often need to work with libraries like Knockout.js and Less when developing themes.
