Omi - Front End Cross-Frameworks Framework

Merge Web Components, JSX, HTM, Virtual DOM, Functional style and Proxy into one framework with tiny size and high performance. Write components once, using in everywhere, such as Omi, React, Preact, Vue or Angular.

Quick Preview

Pass data through the component tree without having to pass props down manually at every level by store, auto update the view on demand.

import { define, render } from 'omi'

class Store {
  data = {
    count: 1
  }
  sub = () => {
    this.data.count--
  }
  add = () => {
    this.data.count++
  }
}

define('my-counter', _ => (
  <div>
    <button onClick={_.store.sub}>-</button>
    <span>{_.store.data.count}</span>
    <button onClick={_.store.add}>+</button>
  </div>
), {
    use: ['count'], 
    //or using useSelf, useSelf will update self only, exclude children components
    //useSelf: ['count'], 
    css: `span { color: red; }`,
    installed() {
      console.log('installed')
    }
  })

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

• <my-counter></my-counter> can be used in any framework or no framework, such as document.createElement('my-counter')

You can also implement computed props through use, such as:

define('my-counter', _ => (
  <div>
    <button onClick={_.store.sub}>-</button>
    <span>{_.store.data.count}</span>
    <button onClick={_.store.add}>+</button>
    <div>Double: {_.using.doubleCount}</div>
  </div>
), {
    use: [
      'count',
      {
        doubleCount: [
          'count',
          count => count * 2
        ]
      }]
  })

You can also use useSelf, useSelf only updates itself. When using useSelf, the corresponding attributes are accessed through. usingSelf in JSX.

Path is also supported:

class Store {
  data = {
    list: [
      { name: { first: 'dnt', last: 'zhang' } }
    ]
  }
}

...
...

define('my-counter', _ => (
  ...
  ...
), {
    use: [
      'list[0].name', //Direct string, accessible through this.using[0] 
      {
        //alias，accessible through this.using.fullName
        fullName: [
          ['list[0].name.first', 'list[0].name.last'],
          (first, last) => first + last
        ]
      }]
  })

Multi-store injection

import { define, render } from 'omi'

define('my-app', _ => {
  const store = _.store.storeA
  const { data, add, sub } = store
  return (
    <p>
      Clicked: {data.count} times
      <button onClick={add}>+</button>
      <button onClick={sub}>-</button>

      <div>
        {_.store.storeB.data.msg}
        <button  onClick={_.store.storeB.changeMsg}>
          change storeB's msg
        </button>
      </div>
    </p>
  )
}, {
  useSelf: {
    storeA: ['count', 'adding'],
    storeB: ['msg']
  }
})

const storeA = new class Store {
  data = {
    count: 0,
    adding: false
  }
  sub = () => {
    this.data.count--
  }
  add = () => {
    this.data.count++
  }
}

const storeB = new class Store {
  data = {
    msg: 'abc'
  }
  changeMsg = () => {
    this.data.msg = 'bcd'
  }
}

render( <my-app /> , 'body', {
  storeA,
  storeB
})

API and Hooks

define('my-component', _ => (
  ...
  ...
), {
    use: ['path', 'path.a', 'path[1].b'],
    useSelf: ['path.c', 'path[1].d'],
    css: 'h1 { color: red; }',
    propTypes: {

    },
    defaultProps: {

    },

Why Omi?

• Tiny size and High performance
• Cross frameworks(react, preact, vue, angular), components of omi are pure custom elements
• One framework. Mobile & desktop & mini program
• Stateless View Architecture Design
• Be friendly to custom elements, you can pass false attributes to elements through string '0' or string 'flase', you can pass object attributes to elements through : prefix and Omi.$
• Easy two way binding by extend api
• Supports TypeScript
• Reactive data-binding
• Native tap event support
• Having Cross-frameworks UI components - omim
• Excellent compatibility(IE8+) with omio
• Enhanced CSS, rpx unit support base on 750 screen width
• Compliance with browser trend and API design
• Merge Web Components, JSX and HTM 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	Omio

Omi uses Shadow DOM based style isolation and semantic structure.

</html>

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:

You can also use my-counter tag directly in HTML：

<body>
  <my-counter></my-counter>
</body>

Getting Started

Install

$ npm i omi-cli -g    # install cli
$ omi init my-app     # init project

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()
  }

  //If you need to use <hello-element></hello-element> directly in html, you must declare propTypes
  static propTypes = {
    msg: String
  }

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

  render(props) {
    return (
      <div onClick={this.onClick}>
        Hello {props.msg}
        <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' }

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

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

  render(props, data) {
    return (
      <div>
        Hello {data.abc}
        <hello-element
          onAbc={this.onAbc}
          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.

TypeScript Auto Complete

import { h, WeElement, tag, classNames } from 'omi';
import * as styles from './_index.less';

interface ButtonProps {
  href?: string,
  disabled?: boolean,
  type?: 'default' | 'primary' | 'danger',
  htmltype?: 'submit' | 'button' | 'reset',
  onClick?: (e: any) => void
}

const TAG = 'o-button'

declare global {
  namespace JSX {
    interface IntrinsicElements {
      [TAG]: Omi.Props & ButtonProps
    }
  }
}

@tag(TAG)
export default class oButton extends WeElement<ButtonProps> {
...
...
...

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, return false will prevent update action

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.

View registered elements

console.log(Omi.elements)

Browsers Support

Omio - Omi for old browsers(IE8+)

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

Design philosophy

The Omi design was driven by The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters philosophy:

• Beautiful is better than ugly.
• Explicit is better than implicit.
• Simple is better than complex.
• Complex is better than complicated.
• Flat is better than nested.
• Sparse is better than dense.
• Readability counts.
• Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
• Although practicality beats purity.
• Errors should never pass silently.
• Unless explicitly silenced.
• In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
• There should be one—and preferably only one—obvious way to do it.
• Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
• Now is better than never.
• Although never is often better than right now.[n 1]
• If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
• If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
• Namespaces are one honking great idea—let's do more of those!
