## What is this
|
2016-05-25 04:28:20 +09:00
|
|
|
|
2026-09-08 19:55:20 +02:00
|
|
|
buuh is a small framework for building frontend applications with plain
|
2026-09-08 19:41:22 +02:00
|
|
|
JavaScript and HTML. State lives in stores, changes flow through an event
|
|
|
|
|
emitter, views are tagged template literals, and re-renders morph the real
|
|
|
|
|
DOM. The whole framework — core, html engine, morphing, hydration, router,
|
|
|
|
|
event bus — is **7.97 kB min+gzip** (7.15 kB brotli), enforced by CI.

## Getting it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From the uhhm registry (one `.npmrc` line routes the scope; everything
|
|
|
|
|
else still resolves from npmjs):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
|
|
|
$ echo "@uhhm:registry=https://project.uhhm.no/api/packages/uhhm/npm/" >> .npmrc
|
|
|
|
|
$ npm i @uhhm/buuh @uhhm/buuh-html
|
|
|
|
|
$ npm i -D @uhhm/bankai
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or with no package manager at all — one file, one import map:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
|
|
|
<script type="importmap">
|
|
|
|
|
{ "imports": { "buuh": "https://cdn.uhhm.no/buuh@8.0.0.js" } }
|
|
|
|
|
</script>
|
|
|
|
|
<script type="module">
|
|
|
|
|
import { choo, html } from 'buuh'
|
|
|
|
|
</script>
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See [`docs/publishing.md`](docs/publishing.md) for how the registry and
|
|
|
|
|
the CDN bundle fit together.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Why this fork
|
2018-07-10 14:40:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2026-09-08 19:41:22 +02:00
|
|
|
- **No build step, anywhere.** Templates parse at runtime (cached per
|
2026-09-08 19:55:20 +02:00
|
|
|
call site in a WeakMap, clone-based instantiation — as fast as choo's
|
|
|
|
|
old compile-time transform, without the toolchain). An import map and
|
|
|
|
|
a `<script type="module">` is a complete development setup:
|
2026-09-08 19:41:22 +02:00
|
|
|
see [`examples/counter/index.html`](examples/counter/index.html).
|
|
|
|
|
- **Isomorphic by contract.** One app module. The browser mounts it, the
|
|
|
|
|
server imports the same file and calls `toString(route)` or streams it
|
|
|
|
|
with `toStream(route)` — a web-standard `ReadableStream`, so it plugs
|
|
|
|
|
into Node, Deno, Bun, and edge runtimes alike.
|
|
|
|
|
- **Streaming SSR.** Async values in child position flush the shell
|
|
|
|
|
first and stream the rest in document order. Store data via
|
|
|
|
|
`state.prefetch` promises. Hydration *adopts* the server DOM (same
|
|
|
|
|
element references, form state kept) and warns precisely when server
|
|
|
|
|
and client markup disagree.
|
2026-09-08 19:55:20 +02:00
|
|
|
- **Async routes.** `app.route('/big', lazy(() => import('./big.js')))`
|
|
|
|
|
— loading view or held tree while in flight, awaited on the server
|
|
|
|
|
(the answer to [choojs/choo#653](https://github.com/choojs/choo/pull/653)).
|
2026-09-08 19:41:22 +02:00
|
|
|
- **Modern platform, no shims.** ESM only, Node ≥ 24, Baseline
|
|
|
|
|
Widely Available browsers. The router speaks WHATWG URL and survives
|
|
|
|
|
emoji, literal `%`, and Unicode normalization differences.

The isomorphic compiler & server, rebuilt on Vite 8 / Rolldown. Only the

|
|
|
Conventions over config: `style.css` next to your entry is bundled for
|
|
|
|
|
the client (server code never sees it), `sw.js` becomes a service worker
|
|
|
|
|
with the precache manifest injected, `<title>` follows your
|
|
|
|
|
`DOMTitleChange` emits — on the server too.

|
|
|
|---|---|
|
2026-09-08 19:55:20 +02:00
|
|
|
| `@uhhm/buuh` | the app class: stores, router, emitter, `toString`/`toStream`, `lazy()` |
|
|
|
|
|
| `@uhhm/buuh-html` | tagged templates: DOM in the browser, strings/streams on the server, `morph`, `hydrate`, `raw` |
|
|
|
|
|
| `@uhhm/buuh-component` | stateful components with lifecycle hooks; the hydration boundary |
|
|
|
|
|
| `@uhhm/buuh-devtools` | `window.choo` console tooling |
|
|
|
|
|
| `@uhhm/buuh-migrate` | `buuh-migrate` — the choo v7 → buuh codemod |
|
|
|
|
|
| `@uhhm/bankai` | the compiler & server above (bin: `bankai`) |

## Migrating from choo v7
|
2026-09-08 19:41:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
2026-09-08 19:55:20 +02:00
|
|
|
$ npx @uhhm/buuh-migrate .
|
2017-06-28 15:53:37 +02:00
|
|

converts simple CJS, remaps every specifier, and tells you honestly what
|
|
|
|
|
it didn't dare touch. The API surface is unchanged — `choo()` still works
|
|
|
|
|
without `new`. See [`docs/migrating-v7-to-v8.md`](docs/migrating-v7-to-v8.md).

|
|
|
[Yoshua Wuyts](https://github.com/yoshuawuyts)'s and the

[choojs contributors](https://github.com/choojs)'; the ESM groundwork
|
|
|
|
|
came from the [@pirxpilot](https://github.com/pirxpilot) fork line; this
|
|
|
|
|
fork modernized the engine and the toolchain around them. Per-file
