Intuitive Component System

Roseview’s component system makes it incredibly easy to build reusable and modular UI elements. Using the htmlElementclass, you can create components that are both powerful and simple to work with. No need to dive into deep nested structures—just create, style, and render.
This allows you to apply styles directly within components, ensuring that each component has scoped, encapsulated styling.

import { htmlElement } from 'roseview';

const button = function(parent){
let btn = new htmlElement(parent, 'button', {
  textContent: 'Click Me!',
  onclick: () => alert('Button Clicked')
});

// You can use in Emotion like style
btn.css({
  background: '#FF6347',
  color: '#FFFFFF',
  padding: '10px 20px',
  borderRadius: '5px'
});

// Or in this manner
btn.css`
background: #FF6347;
color: #FFFFFF;
`
return btn;
}

Lightweight Hash-Based Routing

This simple approach to routing allows you to manage page navigation without adding heavy dependencies or writing verbose code.

import { HashRouter } from "roseview";
import { createApp } from "roseview";

import homePage from "./pages/index.js";
import aboutPage from "./pages/about.js";

const routes = [
    { path: "index", component: homePage },
    { path: "about", component: aboutPage },
];
const router = HashRouter(routes);

window.app = createApp(homePage).use(router).mount("#app");

Reactive State Managment

With createSignal, createReactiveSignal, showIF, you can set up reactive variables that automatically update your UI when they change, creating a smooth, responsive experience for users.

import { createSignal, htmlLayout, htmlElement } from 'roseview';

const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0);

let homePage = new htmlLayout("linear", "top, scrolly, fillxy");
const button = new htmlElement(homePage, 'button', {
  textContent: `Clicked ${count()} times`,
  onclick: () => setCount(count() + 1)
});

export default homePage;

Modular and Extendable Architecture

Whether you’re integrating custom animations, adding data visualization libraries, or incorporating advanced APIs, Roseview allows you the flexibility to extend its capabilities.
