Why Omi?

• One framework. Mobile & desktop & mini program.
• Tiny size
• Supports TypeScript
• Reactive data-binding
• Having official UI components - omiu
• Excellent compatibility(IE8+) with omio
• Real MVVM with mappingjs strong support
• Enhanced CSS, rpx unit support base on 750 screen width
• Compliance with browser trend and API design
• Merge Web Components and JSX into one framework
• Web Components can also be a data-driven view, UI = fn(data).
• JSX is the best development experience (code intelligent completion and tip) UI Expression with least grammatical noise and it's turing complete(template engine is not, es template string is but grammatical noise is too loud)
• Look at Facebook React vs Web Components，Omi combines their advantages and gives developers the freedom to choose the way they like
• Shadow DOM merges with Virtual DOM, Omi uses both virtual DOM and real Shadow DOM to make view updates more accurate and faster
• Scoped CSS's best solution is Shadow DOM, the community churning out frameworks and libraries for Scoped CSS (using JS or JSON writing styles such as Radium, jsxstyle, react-style; binding to webpack using generated unique className filename-classname-hash, such as CSS Modules, Vue), are hack technologies; and Shadow DOM Style is the perfect solution.
• The original Path Updating store system. Proxy-based automatic accurate update, low power consumption, high degree of freedom, excellent performance, easy integration of requestIdleCallback,It will automatically update UI partially when data is changed

Compare TodoApp by Omi and React, Omi and React rendering DOM structure:

Omi	React

Omi uses Shadow DOM based style isolation and semantic structure.

Add Omi in One Minute

This page demonstrates using Omi with no build tooling.

• Online Demo!
• Omi.js CDN

<!DOCTYPE html>

  <title>Add Omi in One Minute</title>
</head>

<body>
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/omi"></script>
  <script>
    const { WeElement, h, render, define } = Omi

    define('like-button', class extends WeElement {
        install() {
          this.data = { liked: false }
        }

        render() {
          if (this.data.liked) {
            return 'You liked this.'
          }

          return h(
            'button',
            {
              onClick: () => {
                this.data.liked = true
                this.update()
              }
            },
            'Like'
          )
        }
      })

    render(h('like-button'), 'body')
  </script>
</body>

</html>

You can also use like-button tag directly in HTML：

<body>
  <like-button />
</body>

Add Omi in 30 Seconds

You can also quickly build omi projects using modern JS code:

import { render, WeElement, define } from 'omi'

define('my-counter', class extends WeElement {
    static observe = true
    
    data = {
      count: 1
    }

    static css = `
      span{
          color: red;
      }`

    sub = () => {
      this.data.count--
    }

    add = () => {
      this.data.count++
    }

    render() {
      return (
        <div>
          <button onClick={this.sub}>-</button>
          <span>{this.data.count}</span>
          <button onClick={this.add}>+</button>
        </div>
      )
    }
  })

render(<my-counter />, 'body')

You can also update the view manually then you can choose the best time to update.

import { render, WeElement, define } from 'omi'

define('my-counter', class extends WeElement {
  data = {
    count: 1
  }

  static css = `
    span{
        color: red;
    }`

  sub = () => {
    this.data.count--
    this.update()
  }

  add = () => {
    this.data.count++
    this.update()
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <button onClick={this.sub}>-</button>
        <span>{this.data.count}</span>
        <button onClick={this.add}>+</button>
      </div>
    )
  }
})

render(<my-counter />, 'body')

Hello Element

Define a custom element by extending WeElement base class:

import { define, WeElement } from 'omi'

define('hello-element', class extends WeElement {
  onClick = evt => {
    // trigger CustomEvent
    this.fire('abc', { name: 'dntzhang', age: 12 })
    evt.stopPropagation()
  }

 static css = `
      div {
        color: red;
        cursor: pointer;
      }`

  render(props) {
    return (
      <div onClick={this.onClick}>
        Hello {props.msg} {props.propFromParent}
        <div>Click Me!</div>
      </div>
    )
  }
})

Using hello-element:

import { define, render, WeElement } from 'omi'
import './hello-element'

define('my-app', class extends WeElement {
  data = { abc: 'abc', passToChild: 123 }

  // define CustomEvent Handler
  onAbc = evt => {
    // get evt data by evt.detail
    this.data.abc = ' by ' + evt.detail.name
    this.data.passToChild = 1234
    this.update()
  }

  css = `
      div{
          color: green;
      }`
  }

  render(props, data) {
    return (
      <div>
        Hello {props.name} {data.abc}
        <hello-element
          onAbc={this.onAbc}
          propFromParent={data.passToChild}
          msg="WeElement"
        />
      </div>
    )
  }
})

render(<my-app name="Omi v4.0" />, 'body')

Tell Babel to transform JSX into Omi.h() call:

{
  "presets": ["env", "omi"]
}

The following two NPM packages need to be installed to support the above configuration:

"babel-preset-env": "^1.6.0",
"babel-preset-omi": "^0.1.1",

If you use babel7, you can also use the following packages and configuration:

npm install --save-dev @babel/preset-env
npm install --save-dev @babel/preset-react

{
  "presets": [
    "@babel/preset-env",
    [
      "@babel/preset-react",
      {
        "pragma": "Omi.h"
      }
    ]
  ]
}

If you don't want to write CSS in JS, you can use to-string-loader of webpack, For example, the following configuration:

{
  test: /[\\|\/]_[\S]*\.css$/,
  use: [
    'to-string-loader',
    'css-loader'
  ]
}

If your CSS file starts with "_", CSS will use to-string-loader., such as:

import { tag, WeElement render } from 'omi'

define('my-app', class extends WeElement {

  css = require('./_index.css')
  ...
  ...
  ...

You can also forget the tedious configuration and use omi-cli directly, no need to configure anything.

TodoApp

Here is a relatively complete example of TodoApp:

import { define, render, WeElement } from 'omi'

define('todo-list', function(props) {
  return (
    <ul>
      {props.items.map(item => (
        <li key={item.id}>{item.text}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
})

define('todo-app', class extends WeElement {
  static observe = true

  data = { items: [], text: '' }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h3>TODO</h3>
        <todo-list items={this.data.items} />
        <form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
          <input
            id="new-todo"
            onChange={this.handleChange}
            value={this.data.text}
          />
          <button>Add #{this.data.items.length + 1}</button>
        </form>
      </div>
    )
  }

  handleChange = e => {
    this.data.text = e.target.value
  }

  handleSubmit = e => {
    e.preventDefault()
    if (!this.data.text.trim().length) {
      return
    }
    this.data.items.push({
      text: this.data.text,
      id: Date.now()
    })
    this.data.text = ''
  }
})

render(<todo-app />, 'body')

Store

Omi Store provides a way to pass data through the component tree without having to pass props down manually at every level, injected from the root component and shared across all subcomponents. It's very simple to use:

import { define, render, WeElement } from 'omi'

define('my-hello', class extends WeElement {
  render() {
    //use this.store in any method of any children components
    return <div>{this.store.name}</div>
  }
})

define('my-app', class extends WeElement {
  handleClick = () => {
     //use this.store in any method of any children components
    this.store.reverse()
    this.update()
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <my-hello />
        <button onclick={this.handleClick}>reverse</button>
      </div>
    )
  }
})

const store = {
  name: 'abc',
  reverse: function() {
    this.name = this.name.split("").reverse().join("")
  }
}
//Injection through a third parameter
render(<my-app />, document.body, store)

Unlike global variables, when there are multiple root nodes, multiple stores can be injected, while there is only one global variable.

Lifecycle

Lifecycle method	When it gets called
install	before the component gets mounted to the DOM
installed	after the component gets mounted to the DOM
uninstall	prior to removal from the DOM
beforeUpdate	before update
updated	after update
beforeRender	before render()
receiveProps	parent element re-render will trigger it

Debugging

Easy to debug via Omi DevTools Extension [Install from Chrome WebStore], using Omi DevTools you can simply debug and manage your UI without any configuration. Just install and debug.

Since Omi uses Web Components and Shadow-DOM, it doesn't need to have another elements panel such as React has. It just adds a panel to the Elements' sidebar and it's powerful as much as React DevTools.

Browsers Support

Omio - Omi for old browsers(IE8+ and mobile browsers)

Omi 4.0+ works in the latest two versions of all major browsers: Safari 10+, IE 11+, and the evergreen Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
