solid VS knockout

The strength of V-DOM definitely doesn't lay in performance. It made it easier for developers to write more maintainable interactive UI. Other than that I'd rather think of it as a compromise. Fortunately, frontend web dev continuously progresses and there are initiatives like https://github.com/ryansolid/solid which focus on compilation-time diffing.

You see I work 12 hours a day. 8 hours of that is my professional job where I am a developer on the Marko core team at eBay. Then after some much-needed time with my family, my second job starts where I am core maintainer of the under-the-radar hot new reactive framework Solid.

They’ve been well received, and the core ideas behind them have inspired the likes of Vue’s Composition API and a big part of Solid’s API.

After discovering solid js, I wondered how feasible it would be to write such a framework in Rust. After two days of hacking around, here is the result!

Solidjs UI library uses Proxies in order to make state reactive https://github.com/ryansolid/solid

The key thing to understand though is this is not a React-only approach. I make heavy use of this pattern in my Solid projects as it makes a really nice isomorphic solution and works really well with the next topic...

The main ones that I'm referring to have proxy implementations along with their basic signal atoms. MobX's `observable`, Vue's `reactive`, Solid's `state` all are reactive proxies that properly handle subscriptions.

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.
