Simple, fast & type safe web applications

Flame is a PureScript front-end framework inspired by the Elm architecture with focus on simplicity and performance. Featuring:

Quick start

Install:

spago install flame

Example counter app:

module Counter.Main where

import Prelude

import Effect (Effect)
import Web.DOM.ParentNode (QuerySelector(..))
import Flame (Html, Update, Subscription)
import Flame as F
import Flame.Html.Element as HE
import Flame.Html.Attribute as HA

-- | The model represents the state of the app
type Model = Int

-- | Data type used to represent events
data Message = Increment | Decrement

-- | Initial state of the app
model :: Model
model = 0

-- | `update` is called to handle events
update :: Update Model Message
update model = case _ of
      Increment -> model + 1 /\ []
      Decrement -> model - 1 /\ []

-- | `view` is called whenever the model is updated
view :: Model -> Html Message
view model = HE.main "main" [
      HE.button [HA.onClick Decrement] "-",
      HE.text $ show model,
      HE.button [HA.onClick Increment] "+"
]

-- | Events that come from outside the `view`
subscribe :: Array (Subscription Message)
subscribe = []

-- | Mount the application on the given selector
main :: Effect Unit
main = F.mount_ (QuerySelector "body") {
      model,
      view,
      update,
      subscribe
}
