Etcher

A ✨ blazingly fast ✨ frontend 'framework' to create reusable web components without touching a single line of javascript.

This is a monolithic repository that contains the source code for the following packages:

Why?

Etcher allows you to take advantage of custom elements, a feature natively supported in all major browsers.

Ethcer's custom web elements have

  • CSS Scoping through the Shadow DOM
  • Reusability
  • Event handling

and much more.

VS Code Extension

Etcher comes with a VS Code extension that allows you to access syntax highlighting, code completion, and more.

GitHub Visual Studio Marketplace

Installation

npm i @etcher/core -g

Usage

To use etcher, you need to follow this directory structure:

├── src
│   ├── components
│   |   └── ...component xtml files
│   ├── pages
│   |   └── ...page xtml files

(You can configure these directories in the etcher.config.js file.)

To generate chisel, run:

etcher -b # build
etcher -w # watch

This will move all your pages into your public directory, and generate a _chisel.js file, which is the output of etcher.

Configuration

You can configure etcher by creating a etcher.config.js file in the root directory of your project. Here's an example:

export default {
    input: 'src',
    output: 'dist',
    plugins: [
        // ...
    ],
};

Example

<!-- src/pages/index.xtml -->
<html>
    <body>
        <!-- our `label` attribute will be passed to the button file -->
        <etcher-Button label="Click Me!"></etcher-Button>
    </body>
</html>
<!-- src/components/Button.xtml -->
<button>{{label}}</button>
