Appetit
A continuation of Nattramn for Bun.
Allows for a simple way of creating universal web applications - partly following the PRPL pattern. Using web components for the client side logic.
Usage
Import the Appetit class and provide a config.
Include <script type="module" src="/appetit-client.js"></script> in your HTML
template to be able to use the web component for the router and link.
For each page handler in the router config, a template is used as a stencil and
will stamp the output of the handler method into
<appetit-router></appetit-router>.
Use the <appetit-link> web component for routes you wish to use soft
navigation for. The route will be prefetched on hover similar to
instant.page.
Example
import Appetit from "bun-appetit";
const template = `
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>
<body>
<appetit-router></appetit-router>
<script type="module" src="appetit-client.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
`;
const config = {
server: {
compression: true,
serveStatic: "public",
minifyHTML: true,
},
router: {
pages: [
{
route: "/",
template,
handler: async () => ({
body: `
<h1>Appetit</h1>
<h2>Home</h2>
<p>
Click link to go further!
Read <appetit-link href="/about">about me.</appetit-link>
</p>
`,
head: "<title>Home - Nattramn</title>",
}),
},
{
route: "/about",
template,
handler: async () => ({
body: `
<h1>Appetit</h1>
<h2>About</h2>
<p>The Nattramn only occationally shows himself[1] and is said to be ghost of a suicide[2].</p>
<small>1) This library sends partial content on some requests.</small>
<small>2) Node.js 🤡.</small>
`,
head: "<title>About - Nattramn</title>",
}),
},
],
},
};
const appetit = new Appetit(config);
appetit.serve(5000);What does Appetit do.
Express-like functionally with handlers for route, with the big difference that
when partial content is requested only the <body> content of the next page is
fetched and replaces the inner content of <appetit-router>. There is also
support for <title> in <head>, but not any other tags in head - as they
usually do not matter for client side changes.
