Social Card of Stacks

Atomic Full Stack

npm version GitHub Actions Commitizen friendly npm downloads

The goal of the Stacks framework is to help you create & maintain UIs (pages & components) & function (composables & APIs) libraries. The Stacks build system automatically builds highly-composable & scalable, framework-agnostic libraries—in beginner & expert-friendly ways, embodying Composability-First Design principles.

Atomic UI & FX Design

🤖 Zero-config, by design

The Stacks framework automagically bundles & builds your code. A Web Component library, Vue 2 & 3 libraries, a composable functions library or API, plus all of its relating type declarations. Out of plain HTML & minimal JavaScript. The best of the Vite & Nitro engines in a zero-config way.

🎨 Style with ease

Create your own style guide using conventions you are familiar with. Stacks' UnoCSS atomic engine allows for just that, in a blazing-fast, on-demand way. Tailwind CSS, Windi CSS, Bootstrap, Tachyons, Heroicons, Material Design Icons, and more to choose from.

Next-gen Developer Experience (DX)

Whether it is the simplistic artisan setup & maintenance, the toolkit of accessible APIs, modern git commit conventions, a powerful, yet simple, CI, automated npm package releases & semver versioning, pretty changelog generations, automated PR dependency updates, built-in spell-checking, integrated documentation tooling, or the pre-configured examples... Stacks has it all.

💡 First-class VS Code integration

IDE Capabilities, fully-typed, code completion, automatic web-types & custom HTML data generations, code formatting, and more—all natively built-into Stacks And without the need for Prettier.

🧙🏼‍♀️ Extremely beginner & expert-friendly

No matter whether you are a beginner or an expert, the approachable Stacks design allows you to learn at your own pace, using our thorough documentation covering every aspect of the framework.

Develop beautiful, reactive, composable UIs & functions without learning a new set of languages. HTML, CSS, and minimal JavaScript—that's all you need to dive in now! (Or TypeScript ✌🏼)

The clever way to build & share component & function libraries (and servers!).

Get Started

It's incredibly easy to get started with this framework. Simply run the following command in your terminal:

curl -fsSL https://stacksjs.dev/setup | sh

# alternatively, if you know pnpm is already installed, get started via:
npx artisan-init my-project

Note pnpm 7.13 or higher required. Run the setup script & Stacks will set you up.

🤖 Usage

Meet the Stacks Toolkit. The following list is of some of the most common ways to interact with the Stacks API:

pnpm stacks install # installs all dependencies
pnpm stacks dev # starts one of the dev servers (components, functions, pages, or docs)
pnpm stacks build # follow CLI prompts to select which library (or server) to build
pnpm stacks commit # follow CLI prompts for committing changes
pnpm stacks release # creates the releases for the stack & consequently, publishes them to npm

pnpm stacks make:component HelloWorld # scaffolds a component
pnpm stacks make:function HelloWorld # scaffolds a function
pnpm stacks make:page hello-world # scaffolds a page (https://127.0.0.1/hello-world)

pnpm stacks --help
View the complete Stacks Toolkit
pnpm stacks --help # view help menu
pnpm stacks install # installs your dependencies
pnpm stacks fresh # fresh reinstall of all deps
pnpm stacks update # auto-update deps & the Stacks framework

pnpm stacks --version # get the Stacks version
pnpm stacks --help # view help menu

# if you need any more info on any command listed here, you may suffix
# any of them via the "help option", i.e. `pnpm stacks ... --help`

pnpm stacks dev # start one of the dev servers (components, functions, pages, or docs)
pnpm stacks dev:components # start local playground dev server
pnpm stacks dev:pages # start local playground pages dev server
pnpm stacks dev:functions # stub local the functions
pnpm stacks dev:docs # start local docs dev server

# for Laravel users, `serve` may be a more familiar command. Hence, we aliased it:
pnpm stacks serve # start one of the dev servers (components, functions, pages, or docs)
pnpm stacks serve:components # start local playground dev server
pnpm stacks serve:pages # start local playground pages dev server
pnpm stacks serve:functions # stub local the functions
pnpm stacks serve:docs # start local docs dev server

# building for production (e.g. npm, Vercel, Netlify, et al.)
pnpm stacks build # select a specific build (follow CLI prompts)
pnpm stacks build:components # build Vue component library & Web Component library
pnpm stacks build:functions # build function library
pnpm stacks build:vue-components # build Vue 2 & 3-ready Component library
pnpm stacks build:web-components # build framework agnostic Web Component library (i.e. Custom Elements)
pnpm stacks build:pages # build SSG pages

# sets your application key
pnpm stacks key:generate

pnpm stacks make:stack project
pnpm stacks make:component HelloWorld
pnpm stacks make:function hello-world
pnpm stacks make:page hello-world
pnpm stacks make:lang de
pnpm stacks make:database cars
pnpm stacks make:table brands
pnpm stacks make:migration create_cars_table
pnpm stacks make:factory cars

pnpm stacks stub # stubs all the libraries
pnpm stacks stub:functions # stubs the function library

pnpm stacks lint # runs linter
pnpm stacks lint:fix # runs linter and fixes issues

pnpm stacks commit # follow CLI prompts for committing staged changes
pnpm stacks release # creates the releases for the stack & triggers the Release Action (workflow)
pnpm stacks changelog # generates CHANGELOG.md

# when deploying your app/s to a remote server or cloud provider
pnpm stacks deploy:docs
pnpm stacks deploy:functions
pnpm stacks deploy:pages

# select the example to run (follow CLI prompts)
pnpm stacks example

# you likely won't need to run these commands as they are auto-triggered, but they are available
pnpm stacks generate
pnpm stacks generate:types
pnpm stacks generate:entries
pnpm stacks generate:vue-compat
pnpm stacks generate:web-types
pnpm stacks generate:vscode-custom-data
pnpm stacks generate:ide-helpers

# test your stack
pnpm stacks test # runs test suite
pnpm stacks test:unit # runs unit tests
pnpm stacks test:e2e # runs e2e tests
pnpm stacks test:coverage # runs test coverage
pnpm stacks test:types # runs typecheck

📚 Utilizing the Built Libraries

Because Stacks optimizes the development of easily reusable & composable component & function libraries, the primary intention is to always keep it simple, yet configurable.

By default, Stacks realizes whether your Stack includes components, functions, and/or pages. Based on that determination, Stacks builds your outputs.

The UI libraries that automatically get built are: a Web Component (Custom Elements) & Vue Component library.

Web Component usage
npm install my-awesome-library

After you installed your Stacks generated library, you can use a "Custom Element" (Web Component) in the following way:

<html>
  <body>
    <hello-world name="Jane Doe"></hello-world>
    <script src="my-awesome-library.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>
Vue 2 & 3 usage
npm install my-awesome-library

After you installed your Stacks generated library, you can use your Vue Components in the following way:

<script setup lang="ts">
import HelloWorld from 'my-awesome-library'
</script>

<template>
  <HelloWorld name="J Doe" />
</template>

A function library may also be automatically generated.

Functions usage
npm install hello-world-library

After you installed your Stacks generated library, you can use your functions in the following way:

import { count, increment } from 'hello-world-fx'

console.log('count is', count)
increment()
console.log('increased count is', count)

You may view this framework as an incredibly "useful set of frames" to assist in efficiently bootstrapping, designing, and managing component & function libraries—using industry best practices, to reach one of the broadest user bases possible.
