Monster
Monster is perfectly suited for the creation of beautiful and fast
user interfaces and websites.
Monster relies on proven concepts mixed with many new JavaScript concepts such as classes, WeakRef, WeakMaps, proxies or the MutationObserver interface, just to name a few.
Monster integrates easily into your existing websites without taking over everything.
It is not the goal of Monster to pull in an entirely new abstraction
with its own language, but to combine the existing techniques of HTML,
CSS and JavaScript in a meaningful way.
One design target is to reach the shiny sun with as little JavaScript as possible.
Monster was built with ES6 modules and uses import
and export.
For some functions, you need additional polyfills.

Installation
npm install @schukai/monster, yarn install @schukai/monster or pnpm install @schukai/monster
Usage
A simple example of the use of functionality from Monster. We create a small file index.mjs.
The m in .mjs stands for module. In the example we want to make substitutions in a string.
import {Formatter} from '@schukai/monster/source/text/formatter.mjs';
const text = '${mykey${subkey}}';
let obj = {
mykey2: "1",
subkey: "2"
};
new Formatter(obj).format(text);
// ↦ 1To integrate this function into a website it is recommended to use a bundler like esbuild.
esbuild index.mjs --outfile dist.jsWe can now integrate that into our website.

Polyfill
We do try to work around some browser bugs, but on the whole we don't use polyfills and feature detection.
However, many functions can be mapped via polyfill.io and thus the compatibility can be increased.
