Fadom: A Virtual DOM Library

fadom is a lightweight virtual DOM library that provides an efficient way to update and manipulate the DOM. It's designed to be easy to use and integrate into any web application.

Features

Virtual DOM implementation for efficient updates

Small size and minimal dependencies

Getting Started

To get started with fadom, you can simply include the library in your web application:

import fadom from '../dom;

You can also install fadom using a package manager like npm:

npm install fadom

Usage

Once you have included fadom in your web application, you can use it to create and manipulate virtual DOM elements:

// create a new virtual DOM element
const element = fadom.createElement('div', { id: 'my-element' }, [
  fadom.createElement('p', {}, 'Hello World!')
]);

// render the virtual DOM element to the real DOM
const vElement = fadom.render(element);

// Mount real Dom to container
fadom.mountElement(vElement, document.getElementById('app'));

// update the real DOM with the changes
fadom.update(element, newElement);

API fadom provides a simple API for creating and manipulating virtual DOM elements. Here are some of the key functions:

fadom.createElement(tagName, attributes, children)

Creates a new virtual DOM element with the given tag name, attributes, and children.

• children - An array of child elements or text nodes.

fadom.render(element)

Renders the given virtual DOM element to the real DOM.

• element - The virtual DOM element to render

fadom.mountElement(domElement, container)

• domElement - Real Dom element
• container - The DOM element to append the virtual DOM element into.

fadom.updateElement(element, newElement)

Updates the given virtual DOM element with the changes from the new virtual DOM element.

• element - The virtual DOM element to update.
• newElement - The new virtual DOM element with the changes
