Implementing LiveViews in Node.js
Blog post from LogRocket
LiveViewJS is an open-source framework designed for building full-stack web applications using Node.js and Deno, emphasizing real-time updates and user interactivity through server-side rendering and WebSockets. The framework simplifies the development process by allowing developers to manage both frontend and backend with a single codebase, unlike traditional single-page applications (SPAs) that require separate codebases for client-side rendering and server-side business logic. The article contrasts LiveViewJS with SPAs, demonstrating LiveView's efficiency in reducing complexity and improving speed, while also providing a detailed tutorial on implementing a real-time bank management application using LiveViewJS in Node.js. This includes exploring LiveViewJS APIs, handling server and user events, and integrating in-memory data storage. The tutorial highlights the creation, reading, updating, and deleting (CRUD) functionalities, showcasing how LiveViewJS enhances development speed and ease of building interactive applications without third-party libraries.
