Pure-framework

Pure-framework is a SPA frontend framework that uses TypeScript functions instead of HTML or JSX for view layer.

Why TypeScript?

JSX and Angular or Vue template languages are great because of their similarity with HTML, but that brings all the issues of HTML with it. Pure-framework, on the other hand, doesn't use HTML at all! Only TypeScript functions!

With TypeScript you get better syntax highlighting, better refactoring tools, and overall, better experiance coding.

Component Example

Template in pure-framework:

div({ class: ’app-root’}, [
  span(‘Hello ${this.state.name}! Welcome!‘)
]);

Equivalent template in Angular:

<div class="app-root">
  <span> Hello {{state.name}}! Welcome!</span>
</div>

Master's Thesis

This framework is developed as a part of a Master's thesis on Mathematical Faculty at the University of Belgrade. Pure-framework is a frontend framework designed around concepts of functional programming and custom Redux-like state management system. The basic principles that this framework leverages are:

• Pure functions
• Memoization
• Observables (RxJs)
• Type safety (TypeScript)
