Why?Component

no-compile HTML/JS library to make reuseable components

An only slightly non-serious project

Why?

I often want components, like in most frontend frameworks, in pure HTML/CSS/JS without the need to compile. This is the simplest way I could think of to implement this.

Features:

• Reuseable external components done in a very basic way (with markdown support)
• Looks like HTML (inspired by and complements AlpineJS)
• components are just normal html/markdown files

How-to

Add this to HTML:

<script defer src="/why.js"></script>

This repo is an example, see index.html. To try it out, clone/download this repository and start a file server in the main folder.

known bugs

• rendering markdown that has whitespace at the start of the line

Limitations

Yes.
