I understood what you were doing, yes. However you said you're using a prebuilt version of the aurelia framework - and I'm using only using a prebuilt version of the frameworks I'm using. Which seems pretty equivalent to me, except that your framework prebuild is created by somebody else running a script and my framework prebuild is created by me running a script. Either way the result is a single framework file to l…
"your framework prebuild is created by somebody else running a script and my framework prebuild is created by me running a script." you are right, i didn't read it that way, but i get it now. i forgot about that aspect of vue, but if i read that correctly the joke is on them because the single file component syntax is one reason i initially rejected vue. i felt that it would make editing harder because editors would…
Given the javascript is still inside a tag I would presume any editor that can handle a normal HTML page with some inline javascript wouldn't notice the difference, yeah. Hadn't honestly though of that since one of the first things I do in any editor is turn all the file format handling stuff off because I'm a curmudgeon who thinks in https://github.com/n-t-roff/heirloom-ex-vi
Yes re external templates; my usual approach to 'keeping the code and template close together' is to have them open in adjacent 80x24 xterms.
You might find mobx of interest - I tend to use that for state modeling no matter the framework doing the rendering - everybody seems to be getting very excited about 'reactive signals' these days and ... they basically all have their own implementation that feels, to me, like Yet Another NIH Of A Tiny Subset Of MobX ... except invariably missing at least one feature that I really wanted.
Which is how I ended up with my own libs.js on a current project, the sum total of which is
export { render, createElement, options as 'preactOptions', Fragment } from 'preact';
export { observable, action, computed, flow, createAtom, Reaction } from 'mobx';
export { observer } from 'mobx-preact';
bun build --format=esm src/web/libs.js >bundle/web/libs.js
I also have about 20 lines' worth of custom dev server that will serve the bundle/ file preferentially over the src/ file if it exists, plus a couple other minor things.
But this is, for me, all about keeping things as simple as possible barring some slight effort towards ergonomics, plus knowing that I understand every part of what's going on so I don't end up stuck in a "one of my abstractions is leaking and I've no -ing idea how or why" type situation (hence also my very minimalist choice of editor, any time I try a more clever one I fairly rapidly end up in a situation where the tab completion does the wrong thing so I just type everything out anyway, or where the syntax hilighting produces colours that give me a headache, or ... just colour me a curmudgeon who learned his chops on ancient BSDi and Solaris systems, I don't expect anybody else to want to use my dev environment but it works for me).
Anyway. None of this is to try and convince you of anything much, I just thought you might find my setup vaguely interesting. I'll stop waffling now :D
