sigil-web-client

Client-side WASM UI framework for Sigil. A react-like rendering layer for browser applications compiled to WebAssembly: it renders Sigil SXML into the browser DOM and keeps application code independent of the underlying WASM DOM bridge.

(sigil web client) is the browser-side counterpart to the server-side sigil-web framework. The two are orthogonal: this library imports only sigil-wasm-dom and shares no code with the server-side modules.

Usage

(import (sigil web client))

;; Look up a DOM root by selector
(define root (web-client-root "#app"))

;; Mount a view: SXML, or a nullary procedure returning SXML
(web-client-mount root (lambda () `(div "Hello, world!")))

;; Update the mounted view in place
(web-client-update root (lambda () `(div "Updated!")))

;; Clear a root
(web-client-clear root)
