Rax

A universal React-compatible render engine.


Rax is a universal JavaScript library with a largely React-compatible API. If you use React, you already know how to use Rax.

Fast: blazing fast virtual DOM.

🎯 Tiny: 8.0kb only after min+gzip.

🎨 Universal: cross Browser、Weex and Node.js.

React 15.3.2 - 43.7kb (gzip)

Vue 2.1.8 - 17.9kb (gzip)

Rax 0.0.2 - 8.0kb (gzip)

Server-side Rendering Comparison

Benchmark repository: Run on a MacBook Air Intel Core i5 @1.4 GHz x 2 with 8 GB memory.

Library renderToString (per second)
React@15.3.2 297 op/s
Vue@2.0.8 1092 op/s
Rax@0.0.2 1553 op/s (fastest)

Quick Start

Install the Rax CLI tools to init project:

npm install rax-cli -g
rax init YourProjectName

Start local server to launch project:

cd YourProjectName
npm run start

Examples

import {createElement, Component, render} from 'rax';
import {Text} from 'rax-components';

class Hello extends Component {
  render() {
    return <Text style={styles.title}>Hello {this.props.name}</Text>;
  }
}

const styles = {
  title: {
    color: '#ff4400',
    fontSize: 48,
    fontWeight: 'bold',
  }
};

render(<Hello name="world" />);

Development Workflow

After cloning rax, run npm install to fetch its dependencies.
Run npm run setup link and bootstrap project before development. Then, you can run several commands:

  • npm run lint checks the code style.
  • npm test runs the complete test suite.
  • npm test -- --watch runs an interactive test watcher.
  • npm test <pattern> runs tests with matching filenames.
  • npm run build creates lib and dist folder with all the packages.
  • npm start start local server with examples folder.
