A tiny 3kb JavaScript Library for Prototyping Web Applications

A tiny 3kb JavaScript library for prototyping web applications.

Declarative: Lucia provides a declarative API similar to Vue to create views, making development predictable and intuitive through markup-centric code.
Reactive: When the view is changed and trapped by the observer, the internal Virtual DOM will automatically react and will update and render the new view in realtime.
Lightweight: Lucia is extremely light and performant as it renders directives only if necessary by skipping static nodes through element references.

📩 Installation

Lucia is currently is installable through a CDN and also supports UMD (ES Module, CommonJS, IIFE). Put this within your <head> tags in HTML.

📺 Example

Below is an example of a clicker game in Lucia. No, your eyes aren’t fooling you - it’s really that simple.

<div l-init="{ count: 0 }">
  <button l-text="this.count" l-on:click="++this.count">0</button>
</div>
