Overview

Features

BitsmistJS is a JavaScript framework built upon Web Components. It operates on a component-based architecture with the main objective of facilitating the creation of components. While each component functions independently, it also interacts with other components to form a cohesive website.

The primary aim is to minimize the amount of code required. By configuring the settings, you can easily harness various functions.

Standard Javascript

We use standard Javascript technologies such as Web Components, Constructable Stylesheets, Shadow DOM, and asynchronous processing.

Components

You create distinct components and integrate them to form a website. Each component's role is well-defined, simplifying site modifications. Additionally, you can seamlessly incorporate a component into a part of the site.

Independent Plain HTML File

We simply use the original HTML as-is. Since JavaScript is written in a separate file, it's also easy for web designers to handle.

Autoloading

The necessary files are loaded when needed. All processing is asynchronous, so files can be loaded efficiently.

Event driven

Javascript codes for each event is written in a file that is separated from the HTML file. It's clear at a glance which processing is written where.

Extensibility

Components can be extended using a mechanism called “Perks. By simply preparing a perk and describing it in the configuration, new functions can be added to the component.

Sample Unit

In BitmistJS, you create components (called units in this framework) and combine them to build a site. You can create HTML-only units that require no action and only an interface, HTML+Javascript units that require an interface and action, or Javascript-only units that require no interface and only action.

HTML Only Unit
