Using Riot.js, a component-based UI library
Blog post from LogRocket
Riot.js is a lightweight, component-based UI library designed for developing web applications, offering a simpler alternative to popular frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js. It emphasizes ease of use, performance, and modularity, enabling developers to create reusable components using custom tags that combine HTML and JavaScript. Riot.js supports a declarative component syntax, an inbuilt virtual DOM for efficient UI updates, and a flexible API that allows integration with third-party libraries. This tutorial explores setting up a Riot.js project, creating a single-page application (SPA) with routing, and implementing dynamic routes using route parameters. It demonstrates how to build a quotes page that fetches data from an API and displays it using custom components, highlighting the library's simplicity and flexibility for both small and large-scale projects. Riot.js can be easily integrated into existing projects and is particularly suited for applications prioritizing performance and optimization.
